Non-contact measurement
Thermal Camera
- The thermal IR array provides a comprehensive high precision non-contact temperature measurements with a self-calibrated sensor
- Applications:
- Occupancy detection for intelligent air-conditioning
- Capture temperature remotely for safe measurements (eg: for C19 patient measurements the thermal camera can capture temperature from afar as compared to a IR gun which works in very close proximity)
- Industrial temperature measurement and control
- Thermal comfort sensor in automotive air-conditioning
Features
- Target temperature profile: -40*C to 300*C
- Accuracy: +/- 1*C
- Operation on full charge: 3 days
- Weight: <100g (Portable LED-flashlight like construction)
- Factory Calibrated – no field calibration required
- Dimension: Ø30 x 150mm OR Ø45 x 90mm
- Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
- Works over BLE – Android app ready
- JSON data to Android – can be used for analytics
- Amiable to cloud storage, automatic event triggering
Sample Images
Image captured from 1m away of a motor which was at
53.5-54*C
Image captured from 12-inches of a person staring at the
camera
Options
- Thermal Camera can be ordered with wide or narrow field of view (FOV) as per the target application.
- For example:
- Industrial application may require narrow FOV
- Temperature scanning for COVID-19 patients at entry of a building may benefit from a wider FOV
Functionality
- The design is based on a single Microcontroller with integrated BLE 4.0.
- The MCU interfaces with the IR Array and beams the content directly to the smart-phone app
- The smart-phone app can be modified to store image to cloud, define event based action (temperature high, detect human etc)
- We can extend features to include measurement for GPS, pressure, humidity to the same device
Housing
Simple functional for quick manufacturing
Interfaces
- Power Switch
- Scan Switch
- Charging interface
Industrial Temperature Sensors
RTD Sensor
- DSPWorks Chariot Device integrates with RTD sensor sending content over the BLE or LoRaWAN network.
- The typical data flow is from node to BLE gateway (smart phone or device like RPi), LoRaWAN Gateway (network gateway from infrastructure provider or your local LoRaWAN Gateway)
- The Data is owned and stored directly by the customer. DSPWorks devices merely helps get the data to the cloud.
