Smart thermal sensor solution for industrial monitoring and elevated skin temperature screening

06 April 2020

The FLIR A400/A700 thermal smart sensor and thermal image streaming fixed camera solutions from FLIR Source: FLIR Systems Inc.Source: FLIR Systems Inc.Systems Inc. are designed 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 improvements.

The 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.

The A400/A700 cameras are designed 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 configuration, selecting from the A400 or A700 camera body based on the resolutions needed and then adding lenses and a range of optional features to fit specific applications.

FLIR currently is in beta testing for an automated elevated skin temperature screening software solution that is fully integrated with its U.S. 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.
