Fire can spread quickly, destroying buildings, assets and lives. Flir's automated, non-contact temperature measurement devices are suitable for detecting potential sources of fire. One example is fuel storage applications. With this flammable commodity, corrosion, leaks and human error can lead to explosive consequences. Automatic monitoring of temperature changes in fuel storage facilities with Flir thermal imaging cameras can avert such a disaster.
Glassworks, foundries, cement plants and municipal waste incinerators can network solutions such as Flir A50 and Flir A70 thermal imaging cameras to create a scalable system with high spatial resolution and thermal sensitivity. Remote firefighting is another application where thermal imaging cameras can prove useful: Flir software can initiate automated firefighting, such as turning on a sprinkler system, shutting down a system, or selectively extinguishing the source of a fire with firefighting foam - all remotely via the Internet.
