and the food industry. Infrared temperature sensors can locate hot spots on a target object without intervening in the production process and obtain the true temperature of the sighted object. They are also capable of performing measurements in challenging industrial applications such as difficult-toaccess areas, with fast-moving objects or hot objects, or for surfaces that can get easily damaged with thermocouples.
