Teledyne FLIR’s new One Edge and One Edge Pro Wireless Thermal Cameras are designed for use with both Android and iOS smartphones. In previous blogs we have illustrated how these simple-to-use yet sophisticated thermal imagers have helped property owners find and address sources of heat loss, resulting in significant savings on energy bills, as well as decreased emissions. We have also noted the ways they may provide cost-saving and animal welfare solutions within the agricultural sector, for example, by spotting cattle lameness early or ensuring proper insulation of poultry barns. In addition to this, we have published case studies on using thermal imagers, such as the Teledyne FLIR One Edge/Pro, to defend against unplanned downtime. In this blog, we will be highlighting how the Teledyne FLIR One Edge/Pro Thermal Cameras can improve the efficacy of automotive diagnostics, saving mechanics valuable time.

As we venture into the damp and unpredictable autumn-winter season here in the UK, moisture management in construction becomes all the more crucial. For construction professionals, the ability to identify and manage moisture and dampness issues is paramount. These silent adversaries can undermine structural integrity, lead to mould infestations, and result in costly post-construction repairs. In this article, we look at the essential aspects of moisture detection, focusing on why it's critical, defining acceptable moisture levels, methods for detecting moisture in walls and floors, and strategies for effectively rectifying these issues.

Last year as winter descended and energy prices rose, news outlets were awash with reports about charities, councils, and insurance companies using thermal imaging to pinpoint sources of heat loss. These stories made headlines because they detailed an innovative method that enabled patrons/customers to target insulation work effectively, subsequently reducing their energy consumption, heating bills, and carbon emissions. What in 2022 began as a little-known method of optimising energy efficiency has become increasingly popular throughout 2023. Now, as winter creeps in once more, ensuring homes are energy efficient is crucial. That’s why Teledyne FLIR has provided some top tips on what to look out for when conducting a thermal survey of your home.

Rising energy prices and environmental urgency have inspired charities, councils, and companies across the UK to look for innovative methods of maximising the efficiency of British homes. One such method is thermal imaging. In 2022, we brought you multiple reports of organisations, including the charity Cambridge Carbon Footprint; South Somerset District Council; and Octopus Energy, providing thermal cameras to property owners for the purpose of identifying heat loss. Armed with this information, householders could target their insulation efforts effectively. Subsequently reducing their energy consumption, bills, and emissions. 2023 has seen even more councils and organisations adopt similar policies. Below are just a few instances that made headlines.

As we come to rely on the internet,
data networks, AI, and cloud-based systems more and more, it’ll become
increasingly important to ensure the reliability and efficacy of data centres. Unplanned
downtime can be very costly both with respect to loss of earnings and business
reputation. A Teledyne FLIR case study estimates that data centre companies
lose $8000 every minute a plant is down due to an unexpected failure.[1]
Spotting potential issues before they become catastrophic faults could eliminate
unplanned downtime. Understanding this, Teledyne FLIR offers a range of thermal
imaging solutions specifically for this purpose.
