Case Study: FLIR achieves a compact, market-leading T1K/T1020 thermal camera with Digi International's ConnectCore 6

Thermal Camera Industry Standard Raised with the ConnectCore 6

FLIR, a long-established maker of professional thermal cameras used by thermographers, building inspectors and contractors, set out to build the T1K—a handheld camera delivering best‑in‑class infrared performance while being easier and lighter to use. The challenge was to pack advanced imaging, measurement and reporting capabilities into a compact, low‑complexity device that professionals could carry and operate efficiently.

FLIR integrated Digi’s ConnectCore 6 system‑on‑module (based on the NXP/Freescale i.MX6) to consolidate multiple boards and functions into a single ultra‑compact module, simplifying design and reducing weight. The result is the T1K/T1020—the most compact, feature‑rich thermal camera on the market—positioning FLIR as a market leader and opening the door to further collaborations for lower‑cost, high‑feature products.
