Flir announces that the Flir Si1 LD acoustic imaging camera has been named "Product of the Year 2026" in the Measurement Technology category by the respected German industry publication Computer & Automation.
Launched in March 2025, the Flir Si1 LD has quickly become a trusted tool for maintenance teams worldwide. Its advanced acoustic imaging technology enables fast, reliable detection of hidden compressed air leaks, helping organisations reduce energy waste, cut operating costs, and bring greater transparency to their maintenance workflows.
The Si1 LD stands out for its combination of performance, easy operability, and integrated analytics:
High Sensitivity Acoustic Imaging - A high performance MEMS microphone array captures ultrasonic signals with exceptional clarity, delivering accurate leak detection even in loud industrial environments.
Bandpass Filtering for Precision - Smart filtering isolates selected ultrasonic frequencies to remove background noise and ensure reliable results.
Designed for Fast, Safe Adoption - Lightweight and ergonomically balanced for one handed operation, the Si1 LD requires minimal training and is easy to use across maintenance teams.
Integrated Analytics and Reporting - Users can quantify leaks in real time and generate detailed reports through Flir Thermal Studio or connected cloud services, simplifying documentation and supporting fast, data-driven decision-making.
Since entering the market, the Si1 LD has helped organisations identify and prioritise leak repairs, measure true cost savings, and elevate the overall efficiency of compressed air systems. This award highlights the meaningful impact the technology has already had across manufacturing, processing plants, and industrial facilities.
