Science lives from ambitious and inquisitive people. Progress would be inconceivable without them. In the field of infrared technologies, the researchers and developers of InfraTec make a decisive contribution to the advanced development of pyroelectric detectors with their visionary ideas and expertise.

Various sensor technologies had been evaluated regarding their usability for the detection of the plant disease Cercospora in the joint project „Data Fusion in Plant Phenotyping for Cercospora Detection in Sugarbeets“ (DataPlant), funded by the German Ministry of Food and Agriculture.

Infrared technology has exclusive and sometimes mysterious properties because it uses electromagnetic radiation, an invisible, but at the same time, omnipresent force. It can be used, for example, to measure temperatures and gas concentrations, for early fire detection and to track down energy losses.
