Quality control processes in industrial production are becoming more critical every day. Manufacturers are seeking innovative solutions to ensure the integrity of their products and detect defects early. It is precisely at this point that Flir, part of Teledyne, and edevis GmbH, a pioneer in active thermography, have forged a groundbreaking collaboration in the field of automated non-destructive testing (NDT).

🔥 Seamless Integration with Flir A6450 MWIR Camera
At the heart of this collaboration is the Flir A6450 long-life cooled MWIR camera. This camera seamlessly integrates into automated inspection workflows, offering the ability to detect structural anomalies in real time. This system, capable of uncovering defects that traditional methods or standard sensors might miss, is poised to revolutionize the production line.

🔬 End to Hidden Defects: Wide Range of Applications from Automotive to Energy
In sectors such as automotive, energy, and advanced manufacturing, hidden defects like grinding burns, coating delaminations, adhesion failures, and subsurface irregularities can jeopardize product integrity. While traditional inspection techniques often examine small areas, the Flir-edevis approach sets a new standard for full-surface, high-speed thermal inspection. This makes it possible to obtain actionable results within seconds.

⚙️ Designed for 24/7 Operation and High Performance
The Flir A6450, at the core of the system, is specifically designed for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding industrial environments. Its 27,000-hour long-life cooler and high-speed MWIR (Mid-Wave Infrared) imaging capabilities offer precise temperature measurement and rapid thermal response capture. These features are critical for detecting subsurface defects during active thermography. When combined with edevis's laser-based excitation and advanced thermography software, the system reveals structural anomalies invisible to the human eye and difficult to detect with traditional sensors.

🗣️ Reliable and Non-Contact Solution for Manufacturers
Mathew Hasty, Flir Global Vertical Director, stated, "Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to automate more of their quality assurance processes and maintain absolute reliability. The A6450 is designed precisely for these environments. When combined with edevis's active thermography, it provides real-time insights into structural behavior, helping customers catch defects earlier and keep production moving."
edevis's active thermography platforms are widely used for structural inspection of metals, composites, battery components, and precision-machined parts. With the integration of Flir thermal imaging, these systems provide a deeper look into material behavior under thermal excitation and support automated decision-making processes directly on the production line. The result is a reliable, non-contact, and repeatable inspection process that keeps pace with modern production speeds.

🎯 Future-Ready Solution for the Production Line
Alexander Dillenz, Managing Director of edevis GmbH, added, "Our mission is to make high-precision NDT fully automated, fast, and easy to integrate. The Flir A6450 provides us with the thermal performance and long-term stability required for continuous industrial use. Together, we enable manufacturers to detect defects that would otherwise remain hidden, and to do so at the speed their production lines demand."
As industries accelerate their adoption of automated inspection technologies, this combination of Flir thermal imaging and edevis active thermography offers a scalable and future-proof solution. Applied across a wide range of applications, from brake discs to composite structures, battery cells to semiconductor components, this integrated workflow provides manufacturers with a powerful tool to ensure product integrity and reduce scrap rates.
