In addition to its headquarters in Dresden and subsidiaries in Austria, Great Britain, the US and China InfraTec features through a global network of dealers.
Electromobility – A future-oriented topic that manufacturers of electric vehicles and their suppliers are addressing to the same extent. The same applies to producers of high-performance rechargeable batteries and high-voltage batteries for use in electric cars, electric buses, e-scooters, e-mopeds and e-bikes. The production and storage of these energy storage devices entails some risks. Especially lithium-ion based batteries constitute fire hazards because they can spontaneously ignite if overheated and release toxic gases when burning.
In order to avoid such a scenario, InfraTec offers a way to monitor assembly and storage halls completely automatically with the thermographic automation solution FIRE-SCAN. The system, consisting of a high-performance infrared camera and corresponding software, self-monitors the temperature development at workstations and storage areas 24 hours a day and reliably localises heat sources. If configurable temperature alarm set points are exceeded in selected areas of the thermal image, FIRE-SCAN triggers an automatic alarm before critical temperatures are reached and enables rapid intervention to prevent a fire.

It is not unusual for tasks to be associated with special requirements. Discuss your specific application needs with our specialists, receive further technical information or learn more about our additional services.
Observation tasks for applications like investigation, remote surveillance, border guard and the protection of critical infrastructure are great challenges for the related authorities. Powerful infrared cameras are getting more and more indispensable nowadays.
Our Company’s own service department accompanies you even with complex automation solutions far beyond the actual sale. In the event of malfunctions, your enquiry is forwarded directly to the employees via a hotline. By remote maintenance, you will receive an initial diagnosis. Together with you, we analyse the cause of the problem and quickly find a solution.
For more than 30 years, InfraTec has been implementing thermographic solutions with partners worldwide. Based on this wealth of experience, a thorough analysis of the initial situation is one of the first steps in cooperation. We prepare feasibility analyses and advise you on the planning of your future thermographic system. Afterwards, you will receive an offer adapted to your specific requirements.
In our training centre in Dresden, you can attend practical thermography training courses. After the transfer of the turnkey system, upon request qualified employees of our service team will introduce you step by step to your automation solution and instruct future users on your premises.
The InfraTec product range includes numerous protective housings. The all-weather and robust metal housings allow the use of the thermographic cameras in harsh environments and protect against mechanical stress, dust and splash water. Depending on requirements, users can also choose ATEX-certified protective housings that can be used in potentially explosive atmospheres.
InfraTec offers high-quality accessories for all camera series. This allows users to flexibly adapt their camera to changing test and measurement environments and optimize it for daily indoor and outdoor use. The corresponding components are specially designed for the corresponding model and open up new possibilities – for current applications and new tasks.
