SubscribeHuge customer benefits as FLIR Systems acquires CEDIP Infrared.
It is the first UK show at which the company will exhibit under the combined colours of FLIR Systems and CEDIP. FLIR Systems acquired fellow infrared specialist CEDIP earlier this year, a move that in broad terms will provide even better R & D capability, enhanced core competence and greater scope in production and distribution. The integrated ranges will trade under the FLIR brand name.
Both companies already have a strong presence in the production of thermal imaging cameras for security and surveillance applications. "Their combined forces will take this technology into a new league on so many fronts," commented Andy Teich, President of FLIR Commercial Vision Systems. "One of the main benefits is that as from now FLIR Systems is able to offer an incredible choice of cameras to suit every application and every budget."
The options include cameras with Vanadium Oxide (VOx) microbolometer detectors or cooled Indium Antimonide detectors. And thanks to this corporate development the choice now extends to cameras with Mercurium Cadmium Telluride (MCT) detectors for long range security and surveillance applications.
At IFSEC FLIR Systems will be showing the latest generation of thermal imagers whose design and performance is the product of the company's enhanced and extensive R & D capability. These will include new additions from the CEDIP stable.
The new models are designed to detect man-sized targets at long range. They are therefore ideal for border surveillance and protection of ports, airports and sensitive sites such as those involved in the production of nuclear energy. Multi-sensor versions of these new models will also be launched at IFSEC 2008.
