Introducing the Cat® S62 Pro – The pinnacle of innovation, functional design and rugged durability

28th July 2020, READING, UK – Bullitt Group, the global licensee for Cat® phones, is unveiling its new flagship thermal imaging smartphone, incorporating the highest resolution integrated Lepton® from FLIR systems available.

 

The Cat S62 Pro is the third generation of the Cat 60 series and exclusively showcases the latest in Thermal by FLIR® technology. Powered by the FLIR Lepton 3.5 and the new MyFLIR™ Pro app, the Cat S62 Pro offers a huge four-fold increase in the number of thermal pixels and an unmatched feature set within the application.

 

Tested to Cat phones’ demanding, market leading rugged standards, the Cat S62 Pro is incredibly tough. It achieves and surpasses an ingress protection rating of IP68, and US military standard, Mil Spec 810H. It has undergone rigorous testing including repeated drop tests from 1.8m onto steel, with multiple drops onto every side and corner, as well as extensive waterproof, dirt and dust proof, temperature extreme survivability, and vibration and tumble tests. It’s hygienic too – it can be fully submerged and easily washed with soaps and disinfectants or cleaned with alcohol wipes.

 

For the first time, professionals and consumers can access FLIR Systems’ VividIR™ image processing, enhanced MSX® (Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging), and visible-to-thermal blending technologies integrated into their smartphone. Users can now vary the intensity of MSX, which overlays visual outline detail from the scene onto the thermal image or use the new alpha blending feature to combine thermal detail with the visual image from the Sony dual-pixel camera. Together these upgrades deliver dramatically enhanced image quality, sharper images, and higher thermal resolution to provide greater context and understanding of the thermal image you are seeing.

 

“For five years we have led the thermal mobile market, and with the introduction of the Cat S62 Pro we are raising the bar to continue leading the industry. Not only are we bringing game-changing professional thermal image quality to our customers, but we’ve also made numerous other improvements. Compared with its predecessor, it’s 12% more compact with a 10% bigger screen. It’s faster, more powerful and incredibly tough. It’s the ultimate work phone.” said Peter Cunningham, VP Product Portfolio at Bullitt Group.

 

The new software enables analytic and reporting features typically found in higher end, dedicated thermal imaging products. Isotherm and isotherm alarming, minimum and maximum temperature flag indicators, and report generation built into the app, are just a subset of the powerful new features found in the MyFLIR Pro application on the Cat S62 Pro.

 

 

“By providing FLIR Systems’ latest Lepton thermal sensor for the Cat S62 Pro, we are continuing a tradition of innovation that now spans three generations of Cat phones to help professionals perform work more quickly and accurately,” said Paul Clayton, General Manager, Components Business at FLIR. “Integrating the MyFLIR Pro app also provides users advanced thermography features for the first time on a smartphone, maximizing the utility of seeing and detecting heat energy invisible to the naked eye.”

 

With isotherm alarming you can monitor a custom temperature range (anything between -20°C to +400°C) and add alarms to alert you when something falls within that range – hugely useful when watching for machinery to reach a specified temperature, screening for unusually elevated temperature, or even if the BBQ is up to temperature.

 

There are also upgrades to the Cat S62 Pro’s display, now 5.7″ FHD+ (18×9), and to the memory, now 6GB RAM and 128GB ROM. With a faster Qualcomm chipset, Android™ 10, and a large, optimised battery, the Cat S62 Pro is also fully enterprise ready. It supports Android Enterprise features, including Zero-touch, and has undergone a series of enrolment and policy provisioning tests with leading EMM solutions.

 

The S62 Pro represents a step change in mobile thermal imaging, and the pinnacle of innovation, functional design and rugged durability. Use it to discover more about the world around you, to help locate and diagnose the damp, the draught, the leak, the hotspot, the electrical short, the blockage or the elevated temperature; monitor, diagnose, reveal and save time.
