Teledyne FLIR has announced that Sentera Sensors and Drones has joined the Thermal by FLIR program.

Sentra 6X Thermal Series

Integrating FLIR Boson thermal camera modules into the Sentera 6X Thermal Series adds new high-precision thermal mapping capabilities to their integrated multispectral and RGB drone payload platform.

The company states that the solution has been designed for seamless integration with leading UAS platforms, the Sentera 6X Thermal Series support agriculture, outdoor and industrial applications ranging from evaporation analysis, water stress monitoring and forest fire detection to industrial inspections and infrastructure analysis.

The NDAA-compliant Sentera 6X Thermal Series, including the 6X Thermal and 6X Thermal Pro, feature either the radiometric FLIR Boson 640R or 320R imager alongside four synchronised 3.2MP monochrome imagers and a 20MP RGB sensor.

“Capture, process and analyse”

Eric Taipale, Chief Technology Officer, Sentera commented: “Precision thermal mapping has long been a challenge due to alignment and stitching issues.

“By combining FLIR’s trusted thermal technology with Sentera’s automated multispectral-assisted processing, we’re making it easier for users to capture, process and analyse high-quality thermal data with confidence,” Taipale concluded.

“A market-changing innovation”

Jared Faraudo, Vice President of Product Management, Teledyne FLIR stated: “Sentera’s innovative approach to combining thermal, multispectral and visible imaging in a unified sensor package represents a market-changing innovation the Thermal by FLIR program was designed to support.

“By incorporating our compact, high-performance radiometric Boson modules within advanced multispectral technology, Sentera delivers unprecedented thermal mapping accuracy paired with pixel-level temperature measurement data for agriculture to public safety applications,” Faraudo concluded.

Sentera 6X Thermal Series

Sentera 6X Thermal Series joins a growing ecosystem of Thermal by FLIR products that solve critical problems across industries, including agriculture, automotive and defense with solutions such as mobile devices, drones, augmented reality solutions and wearables.

The Thermal by FLIR program is a cooperative product development and marketing initiative that supports original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and product innovators who use Teledyne FLIR OEM thermal camera modules within integrated products.

The program helps integrators accelerate time to market, lower development risk and costs, and expand business growth.
