ARLINGTON, Va. -Friday 3 April 2020 [ AETOS Wire ]
(BUSINESS WIRE)--
FLIR Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ: FLIR) today announced the FLIR A400/A700
Thermal Smart Sensor and Thermal Image Streaming fixed camera solutions
for monitoring equipment, production lines, critical infrastructure, and
screening for elevated skin temperatures. These highly configurable
smart camera systems provide accurate, non-contact temperature
monitoring across a wide range of disciplines: manufacturing process
control, product development, emissions monitoring, waste management,
facilities maintenance, and Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS)
improvements. The FLIR A400/A700 Thermal Smart Sensor solution initially
will be prioritized for those responding to COVID-19. For all
applications, the series offers multi-image streaming, edge computing,
and Wi-Fi connectivity to help speed data flow and enable faster
decisions, improving productivity and safety for professionals.
FLIR designed the A400/A700 cameras with
two configurations to better meet application-specific needs. The
Thermal Smart Sensor configuration, recommended for measuring elevated
skin temperatures, incorporates advanced measurement tools and alarms
with edge computing to enable faster critical decisions. The Image
Streaming configuration provides multiple thermal streaming capabilities
to help optimize process control, improve quality assurance, or
identify potential failures that could shut down a production line.
Users design their systems by choosing
either the Smart Sensor or Imaging Streaming configurations, selecting
either the A400 or A700 camera body based on the resolutions they need,
and then adding lenses and a range of optional features to fit their
application.
“For more than 40 years, FLIR thermal
imaging has provided technologies for professionals to improve not only
their capabilities, but also their safety on the job,” says Jim Cannon,
President and CEO at FLIR. “As the world works together to face the
global COVID-19 pandemic, given the need for this technology, FLIR will
prioritize initial deliveries of this new A-series camera to
professionals using it in elevated skin temperature screening as an
adjunct to other elevated body temperature screening tools to help to
fight the spread of the virus.”
Also, FLIR currently is in beta testing
for an automated elevated skin temperature screening software solution
that is fully integrated with its United States Food and Drug
Administration-certified thermal cameras. The solution is designed to
rapidly increase the accuracy, ease-of-use, and speed of existing
screening procedures. FLIR will share an announcement about its solution
in Q2 2020.
FLIR A400/A700 Thermal Smart Sensor and
Thermal Image Streaming cameras are available for purchase today
globally from FLIR distributor partners. To learn more, please visit www.flir.com/A400-A700-Series.
