RedShift Systems Secures $6M Second Round of Funding

Emerson Leads Investment in Next Generation Thermal Imaging Technology for Energy Efficiency

BURLINGTON, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--RedShift Systems Corp., the leader in next generation thermal imaging technology, announced today that it has closed a second round of venture capital funding. The $6 million round was led by diversified global manufacturing and technology company Emerson, a new investor, and also included existing investors.

“There is tremendous fit between our technology and Emerson’s businesses and I expect this investment will be the start of a very productive relationship.”

RedShift will use the funding to complete development of its Thermal Light Valve^TM -based camera platform, which is designed to be the lowest-cost and easiest-to-integrate thermal imaging solution for OEMs. Thermal imaging is a critical technology for enabling a range of emerging energy efficiency products such as intelligent HVAC, energy auditing in buildings, adaptive data center cooling and network power management. Until RedShift, thermal imaging was largely unaffordable for use in these and many other applications.

“We are thrilled that Emerson has decided to back RedShift,” said Matthias Wagner, Chairman and co-Founder of RedShift. “There is tremendous fit between our technology and Emerson’s businesses and I expect this investment will be the start of a very productive relationship.”
