Optris Connect: A New Generation of Infrared Imaging Software

Optris introduces Optris Connect, a new software platform for PI and Xi infrared cameras. The software combines a modern, intuitive user interface with powerful tools for visualizing, configuring, and monitoring thermal imaging data. It is designed to make infrared thermography easier for new users while providing experienced users with a flexible and future-ready working environment.

A key feature is the unified workspace: thermal images, temperature-time diagrams, alarms, measurement fields, and camera data are displayed in a single window. Multiple USB and Ethernet cameras can be automatically detected, connected simultaneously, and shown side by side. Temperature data from several devices can be evaluated together or separately. Guided network configuration supports fast setup and helps users resolve common connection issues.

Optris Connect also simplifies the configuration of measurement fields, emissivity settings, alarms, and PIF modules. Additional features include familiar color palettes, autofocus support, watermark and logo options, protection against accidental software closure, and flexible alarm management.

With integrated error reporting, direct software updates, and the option to improve translations through feedback from users and distributors, the platform is designed for continuous development. As part of the Optris AI software family, Optris Connect also supports MCP server integration for modern AI-based workflows.

Some advanced analysis functions currently remain available exclusively in PIX Connect 3. Users who require these features can continue using PIX Connect 3, while Optris Connect already provides a modern, fast, and future-ready workflow for the next generation of infrared thermography.
