Teledyne FLIR OEM Announces AerialOGI Collaboration; Launches AerialOGI-N
May 14, 2025
Detect and quantify harmful industrial gas leaks in real time from drone and handheld platforms to minimize emissions and reduce cost
Teledyne FLIR OEM, part of Teledyne Technologies Incorporated (NYSE: TDY), is collaborating with AerialOGI, a leader in optical gas imaging technology (OGI), under the Thermal by FLIR program to launch the AerialOGI-N on May 14. AerialOGI-N is the industry’s first OGI camera module to offer two-click connection to both a handheld and drone gimbal, saving inspectors time and money while providing the ability to detect fugitive gas emissions from the ground or air.
Featuring the Teledyne FLIR OEM Neutrino® LC OGI 640×512 resolution midwave infrared (MWIR) camera core, the AerialOGI-N can detect and quantify more than 25 greenhouse gases in real time, including methane and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is available on seven industrial drone airframes, including the NDAA-compliant Arcsky X55, which provides an industry-leading flight time of up to 45 minutes on battery power or up to two hours in hybrid mode.
“The launch of AerialOGI-N marks a significant milestone in VOC detection and quantification technology,” said Eric Olsen, partner and founder, AerialOGI. “This innovative and flexible OGI module, combined with our AerialOGI Reporting Tool software, empowers gas inspection professionals to enhance inspection efficiency and reduce emissions and costs.”
The AerialOGI-N utilizes an advanced gas-detection algorithm that leverages high-resolution data from the Neutrino LC OGI. It provides real-time in-flight data processing and reporting at the edge. With features including one-button leak event capture, the system passes actionable data directly to leak detection and repair (LDAR) software, empowering professionals to conduct thorough inspections and leak mitigation while minimizing time, cost, and environmental impact.
“We are thrilled to collaborate with AerialOGI and support the gas emission monitoring industry,” said Jared Faraudo, director of product management, Teledyne FLIR OEM. “The collaboration exemplifies our commitment to advancing optical gas imaging technology and providing innovative solutions that address critical environmental and regulatory challenges.”
