Do you know where the FLIR thermal imaging cameras you use to inspect electrical panels or detect moisture are manufactured?
If it’s a portable FLIR thermal imaging camera, it most likely comes from Tallinn (Estonia) or Täby (Sweden). It’s manufactured in Europe by Teledyne FLIR (formerly FLIR Systems): engineering, production, and quality control all under one roof. We’ll explain how this benefits you in terms of measurement accuracy and support.
Quality Control at the Source: Why It Matters Where Your Thermal Imaging Camera Is Manufactured
According to FLIR, about 226,000 cameras are produced each year between Tallinn and Täby. What matters to you isn't the number, but how they're made:
At these plants, engineers, production staff, and quality control personnel all work in the same building. That means defects are detected and corrected on the factory floor before the camera reaches you.
Electronics, assembly, testing, and quality control are all performed in-house, without a chain of subcontractors spread across several countries. There are fewer intermediaries, fewer points where something can go wrong, and greater control over each device that goes through inspection.
In addition, the European origin is clearly identified. When your client or your purchasing department asks where the equipment comes from, you have a clear answer.
"As customers pay more attention to where products come from and how they're made, we're proud to showcase the people and facilities behind them," explains Koen Jacobs, VP of Sales for EMEA.
From the electrical panel to the building facade: applications of the FLIR thermal imaging camera
A reliable thermal camera is one that won't let you down right when the inspection matters most:
- Electrical maintenance: You locate hot spots in panels and connections and measure their temperature before they cause a shutdown.
- Industrial maintenance: You monitor motors and bearings and detect which ones are overheating before they fail.
- Building: You may find moisture, thermal bridges, or faulty seals that are hidden from plain sight.
- Safety and Rescue: You can see through smoke or in zero visibility, when every second counts.
