IRIDE

CAN Thermal Camera for Testing Applications

IRIDE is a compact radiometric thermal camera developed by Alma Automotive for testing, measurement and data acquisition applications. It enables real-time monitoring of components, systems and areas of interest, turning thermal images into immediately usable values without the need for contact sensors.

For motorsport applications, test cells and test systems, IRIDE can transmit meaningful thermal data directly to acquisition systems via CAN, Ethernet or USB, simplifying integration and monitoring during development and validation activities.

Main benefits

Ready-to-use thermal data

IRIDE directly processes thermal images and provides key values such as minimum, maximum and average temperature, eliminating the need for post-processing.
Simplified integration

Thermal data can be transmitted directly via CAN, Ethernet UDP or USB, ensuring easy integration with existing test and acquisition systems.
Contactless monitoring

Measure temperature without contact sensors, even on high-voltage systems and components that are difficult to instrument.
Designed for testing 

Developed specifically for test and measurement applications, IRIDE provides thermal data that can be directly integrated into monitoring and acquisition systems.

Typical applications

IRIDE is particularly suitable for:

  • End-of-Line testing (EOL)
  • Motorsport and vehicle testing
  • Test cells and test benches
  • Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems
  • Development and validation of electrical and electronic components
  • Monitoring of high-voltage systems
  • Thermal monitoring during testing and development activities
  • Monitoring of large areas without using numerous sensors

Why use a thermal camera

Moving components

IRIDE makes it possible to monitor the temperature of rotating or moving elements, such as joints and mechanical components found in test cells, without the need for wiring or sensors installed directly on the component.

Frequently replaced components

In applications such as End-of-Line systems or HIL benches, where devices under test are changed frequently, using a thermal camera eliminates the need to reposition sensors at every test cycle.

Large-area monitoring

Unlike point sensors, a thermal camera can monitor larger areas at the same time and quickly identify thermal anomalies.

Rapid anomaly detection

Thermal images make it possible to highlight abnormal conditions, hot spots or fluid leaks that may not be immediately visible with traditional measurement systems.

Features Overview

IRIDE acquires, processes and transmits thermal information in real time, providing meaningful data that can be easily integrated into test and acquisition systems.

Information is transmitted directly to acquisition systems via CAN, Ethernet or USB. This allows the acquisition system to receive the necessary information directly, without having to manage large radiometric files.
