Fluke boosts productivity  with wireless connectivity, new mobile app

Fluke’s latest range of infrared cameras feature the company’s LaserSharp Auto Focus, which uses a laser to pinpoint exactly where the camera should focus

Industrial testing equipment manufacturer Fluke Corporation, which is exhibiting at Electra Mining Africa 2014, has introduced wireless connectivity to its latest range of infrared cameras – the Fluke Ti200, Ti300 and Ti400 – to maximise technicians’ productivity in the field.

The new infrared cameras also feature Fluke’s LaserSharp Auto Focus, which uses a laser to pinpoint exactly where the camera should focus for precisely focused images.

The company reports that the cameras connect to a wireless system, allowing them to be used as a main unit to view live measurements of up to five wireless modules, such as alternating current or voltage modules, on its screen and integrate the data into the infrared image.

The wireless connectivity allows technicians to transfer images from the cameras directly to a personal computer, an iPad or an iPhone, which can then be imported into Fluke SmartView software, a suite of analysis and reporting tools for optimising and analysing infrared images and producing professional reports.

The cameras also integrate wirelessly with a new mobile application, or app, built for iPhones and iPads.

“Like the desktop version, the SmartView mobile app allows users to transfer images wirelessly for additional image optimisation and analysis and to create professional reports, but now they can share information without returning to the office to create and send reports to clients or management,” the company states.

The Fluke infrared cameras further feature patented technology, which merges the infrared and visual images into a single view to better discover, diagnose and communicate problems. “With IR-Fusion technology, images can be viewed from full infrared to blended views to a full visible image, to precisely document problem areas,” Fluke states.
