DIAS Infrared GmbH

What DIAS Infrared GmbH does

DIAS Infrared GmbH is a privately held German manufacturer specializing in non-contact infrared temperature measurement technology, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Dresden with approximately 21 employees. The company designs and manufactures its full product portfolio in-house at German facilities, with ISO 9001:2015-certified processes covering stationary and portable thermal imaging cameras (PYROVIEW), infrared line cameras (PYROLINE), digital pyrometers (PYROSPOT), pyroelectric infrared sensors (PYROSENS), blackbody calibration radiators (PYROTHERM), and supporting thermography software (PYROSOFT). Its measurement range spans -40°C to 3000°C across LWIR, MWIR, and NIR spectral bands, with industrial-grade housings (IP54/IP65, water-cooled variants for 150°C ambient operation) and standard interfaces including USB, RS-485, Ethernet, GigE Vision, and Modbus RTU/TCP.

The company operates a B2B enterprise sales model with direct sales engineers (Vertrieb) providing quote-based pricing and pre-sales consultation, complemented by custom system solutions, installation, and calibration services. It serves a diversified industrial customer base across process automation, quality control, fire detection, glass, metal, solar/semiconductor, plastics, food, and R&D verticals, with a dedicated VdS-certified fire detection system (PYROVIEW FDS) for safety-critical deployments. Revenue is generated primarily through hardware sales with a software tail (freemium PYROSOFT Compact plus paid Professional and Automation tiers) and professional services for system integration. Distribution is entirely direct, with no disclosed channel partners beyond a minor collaboration with Testo for portable thermography.
