Manufacturer of thermal sensors, ULIS, has announced that its Thermal Activity Sensor (TAS) for detecting true presence and people counting has been selected by Irlynx for integration in its advanced smart building device, People Sense. Irlynx will field test ULIS’ thermal sensor in several pilot studies it is undertaking with GE Digital, NEXITY and SNCF, among other smart occupancy and people counting projects linked to optimising ope...

Manufacturer of thermal sensors, ULIS, has announced that it will again significantly increase its R&D spending for 2017 to reach €15m ($16.8m). This investment marks the company’s strong growth and market leadership progression over the last 15 years. ULIS generated €61.5m ($69.3m) in sales in 2016, a rise of nearly 30% compared to 2015. Buoyed by the spurt in additional growth and market changes, ULIS’ new level o...

Giving system integrators design flexibility the Atto320 enables improved performance and cost differentiation in handheld thermal cameras. ULIS has announces the launch of Atto, the first in a family of 12µ, stand-alone, image sensors. The 12µ pixel pitch is the new industry standard in thermal image sensors for market applications where reducing the overall size and cost of the camera are important. Key markets include the outd...

  A manufacturer of innovative thermal sensors for the surveillance, thermography, firefighting, outdoor leisure and automotive markets, ULIS, has announced the availability of Micro80 Gen2, an advanced functionality thermal sensor.

One of the first thermal image sensors designed in accordance with JEDEC standards for SMT assembly has been released by ULIS. The Pico384 Gen2 is, therefore, compatible with standard industrial integration and handling processes for high volume production, such as robotic pick and place and oven reflow. As an SMD, the device enables thermal camera makers to further automate their assembly lines, lower the cost of integration and thereby boost pr...

ULIS has announced the availability of Pico640 Gen2, a VGA format 17μm thermal image sensor for 24/7 security night vision, a market where makers of surveillance cameras demand improved thermal imaging capabilities with seamless integration. For decades, the complexity and cost of thermal imaging technologies originally designed for military applications precluded them from commercial use.

ULIS announces today it will conclude the first of two phases in the MIRTIC project with the launch of the Micro80P thermal sensor array. The launch will take place at the Sensor and Test Fair in Nuremburg, Germany, May 14 – 16, 2013. Micro80P is the first 80x80 small pixel pitch high-sensitivity array in a line of next-generation thermal sensor arrays that meet the needs of applications seeking to achieve maximum energy efficiency in everyday ...

ULIS announces today that Micro80P, its first 80x80 small pixel pitch high-sensitivity thermal sensor array, is available for sampling. Selected customers have started testing the first units of Micro80P, which is based on amorphous silicon (a-Si) a microbolometer technology industry proven for its reliability. Micro80P aims at improving next-generation motion detection systems and increasing the measurement accuracy of building energy diagnostic...

ULIS announces, today on its ten year anniversary, a €20 million investment in a new state-of-the-art facility to meet increasing market demands for IR technology. According to the Yole Developpement report “Uncooled Infrared Imaging: Commercial & Military Applications”, sales of uncooled IR cameras will grow from 320,000 units in 2011 to 1.1 million units in 2017.

ULIS announces today the launch of Pico384E, a new 17-micron pixel size thermal sensor with I2C, the standard Inter-Integrated Circuit link used in many of today’s electronic devices. I2C makes IR sensors compatible with the large-scale production processes used in visible cameras.
