Infrared Application Packages

Optris Infrared Application Packages bring together thermal cameras, pyrometers, and all required accessories into one fully integrated system, designed for specific industrial applications and ready for immediate deployment.

 

A Smarter Way to Implement Infrared Measurement

Unlike standalone sensors or cameras, these packages are engineered for real-world use.

Each solution is:

  • Pre-configured for a specific application
  • Pre-assembled with all required components
  • Designed for fast installation and reliable operation

This removes the need for complex system design, reducing setup time and ensuring consistent performance across your process.

Optris packages include everything required, from optics and mounting to protection and interfaces, delivering a complete, ready-to-use system.

 

What Are Infrared Application Packages?

Infrared application packages are purpose-built thermal measurement systems designed around common industrial challenges.

Each package combines:

  • Infrared camera or pyrometer
  • Mounting and positioning hardware
  • Protective housings (air purge, cooling, windows)
  • Data interfaces and connectivity
  • Software integration

The result is a fully integrated temperature monitoring solution that can be installed and commissioned quickly with minimal engineering effort.

Condition Monitoring & Fire Detection

Continuous thermal monitoring for:

  • Electrical systems and switchboards
  • Conveyors, storage areas, and waste facilities
  • Early fire detection and hotspot identification

Infrared systems provide real-time data to identify risks before failure or ignition occurs.

Industrial Process Monitoring

Used across manufacturing for:

  • Plastics and composites
  • Metals and forming processes
  • Automation and production lines

These packages enable continuous, non-contact temperature control for improved efficiency and product consistency.

Furnace & High-Temperature Monitoring

Designed for extreme environments with:

  • Water-cooled housings
  • Air purge systems
  • Protective optics

These systems enable reliable operation even in ambient temperatures up to 250°C, ensuring accurate monitoring in furnaces and kilns.

Glass Inspection Systems

Built for precision temperature control in glass production:

  • Real-time monitoring of every sheet
  • Detection of hot spots and defects
  • Stable measurement of coated and Low-E glass

These systems improve product quality and reduce waste in tempering processes.

Microscopic Thermal Analysis (R&D)

High-resolution infrared microscopy solutions for:

  • Electronics and PCB inspection
  • Semiconductor analysis
  • Materials research

These systems can resolve extremely small structures, delivering precise thermal insights at the micro level.

How Thermal Infrared Imaging Prevents Downtime and Defects

Thermal Imaging for Fire Prevention in Waste Facilities

Built for Harsh Environments

Industrial environments are rarely ideal.

That’s why Optris application packages include:

  • Cooling systems for high temperatures
  • Air purge systems for dust and smoke
  • Protective housings for outdoor use
  • Stable mounting for accurate positioning

This ensures long-term reliability and measurement accuracy, even in demanding conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an infrared thermometer and how does it work?

An infrared thermometer measures temperature by detecting the thermal radiation emitted from a surface without needing to touch it.
At ECEFast, we use these sensors to provide fast, reliable surface temperature readings, especially in environments where contact measurement isn’t practical or safe.

What is the difference between an infrared thermometer and a pyrometer?

Both are non-contact temperature sensors, but they are typically used in different ways. Infrared thermometers are often used for general-purpose or portable measurements, while pyrometers are typically installed in fixed mounting positions for continuous monitoring of high-temperature industrial processes. At ECEFast, we supply both solutions and help determine whether a portable infrared sensor or a fixed, process-integrated pyrometer is best suited to your application.

When should I use non-contact temperature measurement?

Non-contact measurement is ideal when you are measuring:
• Moving or rotating objects
• Extremely hot surfaces (e.g. furnaces, molten materials)
• Hazardous or hard-to-reach areas
• Contaminated or sensitive products

At ECEFast, we commonly apply these solutions across manufacturing, food production, metals, and industrial processing environments.

How accurate are infrared thermometers and pyrometers?

Accuracy depends on factors such as emissivity, distance to target, and environmental conditions. ECEFast works closely with clients to configure and calibrate sensors correctly, ensuring accurate and repeatable measurements for reliable process control.

Can infrared sensors be used in harsh industrial environments?

Yes. Industrial infrared thermometers and pyrometers are designed for harsh conditions, including high temperatures, dust, and vibration.
ECEFast offers solutions with cooling jackets, air purging, and protective housings to ensure long-term performance in demanding environments.

How do I choose the right infrared thermometer or pyrometer?

The right solution depends on your application, including temperature range, target size, distance, and environmental conditions. At ECEFast, our Sales Engineers take the time to understand your process and recommend the most suitable sensor, ensuring accuracy, reliability, and seamless integration.

What is emissivity and why does it matter in infrared temperature measurement?

Emissivity is a measure of how efficiently a surface emits thermal radiation, and it directly affects the accuracy of an infrared temperature reading. Different materials (e.g. metals, plastics, glass) have different emissivity values. At ECEFast, we help configure sensors correctly for your specific material, ensuring accurate and reliable measurements in real-world conditions.

What is distance-to-spot ratio and why is it important?

The distance-to-spot (D:S) ratio defines how large an area the sensor measures at a given distance. For example, the further away the sensor is, the larger the measurement area becomes. At ECEFast, we help you select the right optics and positioning to ensure you’re measuring exactly the target you intend. Especially critical for small or precise measurement points.

Can infrared thermometers measure through glass or steam?

Standard infrared thermometers cannot accurately measure through glass, steam, or dust, as these can interfere with the infrared signal. ECEFast offers specialised solutions, including ratio (two-colour) pyrometers, designed to provide accurate readings in challenging environments where visibility is limited.
