Flir iXX-Series app-enabled thermal cameras

Flir has introduced the iXX-Series of app-enabled thermal cameras. Built on the company’s ACE platform, the iXX combines apps with a thermography inspection tool in order to enable scalable and connected condition monitoring. Direct integration with Flir’s Assetlink browser-based software automatically connects Flir radiometric images to an asset hierarchy structure to help speed up workflows.

According to Flir, around 60% of maintenance teams report a shortage of skilled thermographers. To help overcome this issue, intuitive, app-guided workflows on the iXX-Series aim to enable maintenance workers of any skill level to undertake efficient and secure inspections.

The camera comes with everything needed to get started, providing an onboarding app to help with successful adoption. The result is a shallow learning curve for less experienced users looking to perform expert-level inspections and accurately assess asset condition.

The product comes loaded with Assetlink browser-based software, which allows users to plan inspections, connect thermal images to asset data, and produce inspection reports with the goal of simplifying workflows, improving asset health and reducing reporting time. Furthermore, trend visualisation provides insight on asset condition not possible with a single snapshot, while dashboard data visualisation simplifies communication and improves operator understanding of condition monitoring programs.

Direct cloud integration takes place via Wi-Fi or LTE (certain models only) for immediate uploading, organisation and sharing of data, as well as seamless reporting and analysis. Operators can send and receive messages, emails and even video calls directly from the device to stay connected with their team.
