Flir Systems

Global leader in thermal imaging and infrared sensor systems, operating as a major business unit within Teledyne Technologies

FLIR Systems, now a subsidiary of Teledyne Technologies, is one of the world's foremost designers and manufacturers of thermal imaging cameras, sensor systems, and integrated sensor solutions. Founded in 1978 and headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, FLIR built its reputation on making infrared technology accessible across a wide range of industries, from defense and public safety to industrial inspection and consumer electronics. The company's product portfolio spans handheld thermal cameras, drone-mounted sensors, vehicle-mounted systems, and advanced multi-spectral imaging platforms used by military, law enforcement, firefighters, and industrial operators worldwide. In May 2021, Teledyne Technologies completed its acquisition of FLIR Systems in a deal valued at approximately $8 billion, creating one of the most comprehensive sensing and imaging technology companies in the world. Under Teledyne's ownership, FLIR continues to operate as a distinct brand and business unit, maintaining its product lines and customer relationships while benefiting from Teledyne's broader portfolio of scientific instruments and defense electronics. The combined entity strengthens capabilities in areas such as unmanned systems, maritime sensing, and advanced defense applications. While FLIR Systems is not an AdTech company, its sensor and imaging technologies have found applications in audience measurement, out-of-home (OOH) advertising analytics, and retail intelligence — areas where thermal and depth-sensing cameras are used for anonymous people counting, foot traffic analysis, and audience engagement measurement. These capabilities position FLIR's technology as an enabling layer for privacy-compliant physical-world analytics relevant to the broader data and measurement ecosystem.
