Thermal, or infrared energy, is light that is not visible because its wavelength is too long to be detected by the human eye; it's the part of the electromagnetic spectrum that we perceive as heat. Unlike visible light, in the infrared world, everything with a temperature above absolute zero emits heat. Even very cold objects, like ice cubes, emit infrared. The higher the object's temperature, the greater the IR radiation emitted. Infrared allows us to see what our eyes cannot.

Infrared thermography cameras produce images of invisible infrared or "heat" radiation and provide precise non-contact temperature measurement capabilities. Nearly everything gets hot before it fails, making infrared cameras extremely cost-effective, valuable diagnostic tools in many diverse applications. And as industry strives to improve manufacturing efficiencies, manage energy, improve product quality, and enhance worker safety, new applications for infrared cameras continually emerge.

At FLIR Systems, we recognize that our job is to go beyond just producing the best possible infrared camera systems. We are committed to enabling all users of our infrared camera systems to work more efficiently and productively by providing them with the most professional camera-software combination.

Just as we recognize that different users need specific hardware, all our software is also tailored to the needs of specific user groups. Whether your application is related to predictive maintenance, research & development or machine vision, a dedicated software package is available.
