FLIR and edevis Partner to Revolutionize Automated Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) With Real-Time Thermal Inspection.
FLIR, a Teledyne company, is showcasing a major leap in automated non-destructive testing (NDT) through a technical collaboration with edevis GmbH, the go-to expert in active thermography.
Together, they’re proving how the FLIR A6450 long-life cooled MWIR camera fits seamlessly into automated inspection workflows, catching structural anomalies in real time and helping manufacturers spot defects that traditional point-based methods or standard sensors typically miss.
Across automotive, energy, and advanced manufacturing, hidden flaws like grinding burn, coating delamination, adhesion failures, and subsurface irregularities can seriously compromise product integrity.
The problem with conventional inspection techniques, they usually only examine small areas, leaving critical defects completely undetected. The FLIR-edevis approach changes the game with full-surface, high-speed thermal inspection that delivers actionable results in seconds.
The FLIR A6450: Built for 24/7 Industrial Toughness
At the heart of this system is the FLIR A6450, engineered specifically for continuous 24/7 operation in demanding industrial environments.
Its long-life cooler runs for 27,000 hours, and its high-speed MWIR imaging capabilities deliver precise temperature measurement plus rapid thermal response capture. These are exactly what you need to identify subsurface defects during active thermography.
When you pair this camera with edevis’ laser-based excitation and advanced thermography software, the system reveals structural anomalies that are invisible to the human eye and tough to detect with conventional sensors.
Active Thermography That Scales to Modern Manufacturing
edevis’ active thermography platforms are already widely used for inspecting metals, composites, battery components, and precision-machined parts.
By integrating FLIR thermal imaging, these systems give you deeper insight into material behavior under thermal excitation and support automated decision-making right on the production line.
What you get is a reliable, contactless, and repeatable inspection process that scales to modern manufacturing throughput.
A Future-Ready Solution for Product Integrity
As industries accelerate their adoption of automated inspection technologies, the combination of FLIR thermal imaging and edevis active thermography offers a scalable, future-ready solution.
Whether you’re inspecting brake discs, composite structures, battery cells, or semiconductor components, this integrated workflow gives manufacturers a powerful tool to ensure product integrity and reduce scrap.
Leadership Comments
“Manufacturers are under increasing pressure to automate more of their quality assurance processes while maintaining absolute reliability,” said Mathew Hasty, Global Vertical Director at Flir. “The A6450 is designed for exactly these environments. Combined with edevis’ active thermography, it delivers real?time insight into structural behavior that helps customers catch defects earlier and keep production moving.”
“Our mission is to make high?precision NDT fully automated, fast, and easy to integrate,” said Alexander Dillenz Managing Director at edevis GmbH. “Flir’s A6450 gives us the thermal performance and long?term stability required for continuous industrial use. Together, we’re enabling manufacturers to detect defects that would otherwise remain hidden and to do so at the speed their production lines demand.”
