Infrared camera with Industrial Mini PC for process optimisation
Optris® PI NetBox is a miniature PC for the PI series of infrared cameras. It upgrades the optris PI products to stand-alone solutions or acts as USB to Ethernet adapter. This permits to implement longer distances between the process proper (PI camera) and the process monitoring system (PC). The superiority of this concept stands out specifically in high-temperature applications: fitted with a cooling jacket the PI camera can be installed local to the process and connected to the NetBox via (...)
