By monitoring the unique thermal signature of machines, structures and electrical panels, engineers can detect faults before they affect production.

Thermal imaging technology produces fast, accurate results in a real-time, high-resolution illustration, enabling engineers to detect faults that otherwise may be overlooked. Remedial work can therefore be carried out before costly system failures or production stoppages occur.

The great advantage of using thermal imaging technology is that it is non-invasive and can detect both hot and cold areas, enabling technicians to evaluate the condition of structures, plant and equipment and whether potential problems are likely to occur.

Thermography can help reduce maintenance costs and identify process improvements across industries, including a wide range of sectors such as steel and aluminium, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage and even buildings, offices and airports.

A lot of plant and machinery is suitable for thermal imaging. The system can discover anything from motor brush contact problems to the mechanical condition of rotating equipment such as pumps, motors, fans, blowers and compressors.
