About

Hellenic Instruments specializes in the design, development and manufacturing of advanced military and industrial electronic systems, providing innovative solutions, and enabling access in emerging technologies to customers around the globe. Hellenic Instruments gives solutions in the following areas: Monitoring & Control Systems (Data Acquisition, Management and Analytics), Telecommunication Systems and IOT Smart Sensor Devices, Security and Surveillance Integrated Systems & Electro-Optics, Ammunition Subsystems and Fuzes. Greece, being the Europe’s main gateway of illegal immigrants coming from Asia and Africa, has received a large amount of funding from EU as a support to fight against illegal immigration. For this reason, Hellenic Instruments has designed a series of thermal surveillance cameras as well as autonomous monitoring systems for 24/7 observation and tracking of potential targets. Applications include Law enforcement, Maritime, Search & Rescue, Border & Surveillance.

Solution & Product

The HI-THS family of products of uncooled thermal cameras & systems provides unparalleled advantage over day/night conditions, allowing for fast detection and identification of targets through dust, smoke, haze, and other atmospheric obscurants. This product line enhances the effectiveness of the Hellenic Army and especially, those who serve on the Greek-Turkey borders. The RESPOND A (HORIZON 2020) project aims to create next-generation equipment tools and mission-critical strategies for First Responders. RESPOND-A introduces a unique five-tier project architectural structure for best associating modern telecommunications technology with novel practices for First Responders of saving lives, while safeguarding themselves, more effectively and efficiently. ELAIONAS (ESPA) project comes as an innovative system for developing a portable and user-friendly electrochemical biosensing platform for specific detection of insecticides and phthalate residues in olive oil.

Innovation & Scalability

Hellenic Instruments’ experienced and qualified engineers emphasize on designing high performing and ergonomically advanced systems that allow straightforward integration on existing multi-purpose architectures. Hellenic Instruments products aid on lowering development and application risks, keeping quality, innovation and adaptability on top priority. Our commitment is to deliver products and services that are safe, compliant and of the highest quality, essential for achieving our ambition to be recognized and trusted as a Defence & Aerospace Industry. Despite the high demand for electronic equipment, there are few manufacturers of high-tech products which design, develop and manufacture advanced electronic systems. Our company has been awarded the 1st Prize for New-enterprise Productive Excellence at Made In Greece Awards 2017. The key competitive advantage of Hellenic Instruments is the highly competent personnel and the technologically advanced services that we perform: Mechanical Design, Electronic Design, Modelling and Control, Software Development, Embedded Systems, Rapid Prototype Realization, System Integration, Testing.
