SEPTEMBER 28--The board of directors of Infrared Solutions Inc. (Plymouth, MN) has agreed to the sale of the company to Fluke Electronics Corporation, an electronics manufacturer based in Everett, WA. Infrared Solutions was founded in 1994 by a group of former Honeywell scientists and engineers who first developed infrared sensors for the US military. Today, Infrared Solutions is recognized as an innovator in the application of infrared (IR) technology for commercial and industrial use. The company designs, manufactures, and sells a broad range of thermal-imaging products for applications across a number of channels including predictive and preventative maintenance. The company's products include the IR FlexCam and the IR-InSight, which are rugged, easy-to-use, portable thermographic cameras with advanced analysis reporting software.
