On Wednesday, September 23, shares rose 1.4% on volume 1.8x its 20-session average. The gain came as growing demand for certified safety and imaging solutions helped support the shares.

The company's FLIR business partnered with MentorAPM to integrate thermal imaging into industrial asset management software. That integration followed news that FLIR's thermal cameras received the first UL 2684 safety certification for early fire detection, allowing them to integrate into standard fire alarm systems. In addition, the company's sensing branch introduced its Nexora family of industrial sensors for machine vision. Separately, the marine unit announced a dedicated UK support center in Plymouth to service autonomous underwater vehicles.
