About flo-ir
flo-ir (Florin Infrarot) GmbH from Oberdorf NW was a Swiss engineering company for contactless industrial measurement technology. Christian Florin founded the engineering office for infrared technology in 1978; in 1999 this became flo-ir berührungslos messen, a solution provider for technically demanding photon-based metrology solutions. The company developed solutions for measurement tasks in industrial production and turned them into products; production and distribution were carried out selectively with established partners. Its offering included contactless measurement of all individual layers in a layer composite, non-destructive characterization of coating adhesion, measurement of paint thickness on wood, glass or plastic, micrometer-accurate geometric measurement of components such as coffee capsules, seal seam inspection, and induction thermography for materials testing. Operators, developers and planners of production systems were supported in integrating light-based measurement technology into industrial production. flo-ir GmbH was registered in the commercial register in 2012 and deleted in 2021 following liquidation.
