Teledyne FLIR IIS expands its Forge camera series with IP67-rated camera for smart agriculture, food and beverage industries

Forge 1GigE IP67 camera series is designed for reliability in demanding industrial factory automation environments

RICHMOND, Canada – May 20, 2024 – Teledyne FLIR IIS announces the launch of the Forge® 1GigE IP67, the latest addition to its line of industrial cameras designed to operate in harsh industrial environments while ensuring efficient production capabilities. The Forge 1GigE IP67 is the latest addition to our commitment to providing advanced imaging systems for factory automation.

“We are proud to announce our latest machine vision products designed specifically for the smart agriculture, food, and beverage industries,” said Sadiq Panjwani, General Manager, Teledyne FLIR IIS. “Unlike general-purpose cameras in the crowded machine vision market, our solutions are tailored to address the complexities of specific industries. We focus on key markets and develop solutions from the ground up with a clear understanding of the market, customer partnerships, and technology innovation.”

The Forge 1GigE IP67 camera series features an IP67 cylindrical housing for optimized, simple system integration, simplified post-operation cleaning and protection against dirt buildup. Partners such as Smart Vision Lights® and Components Express, LLC (CEI) offer a wide range of IP67-rated components to create a complete IP67 vision ecosystem for our customers.

With advanced camera features such as auto brightness (auto gain auto exposure), the new cameras can dynamically adjust under variable and outdoor lighting conditions. IEEE1588 protocol enables synchronization of multi-camera image capture, and lossless compression (LLC) provides higher frame rates and lower bandwidth requirements, maximizing camera output without compromising image quality in high-speed applications.
