IR/Thermal Monitoring
Once the preserve of the few, thermal imaging is now the technology of many. And the good news is that it has never been more affordable. Technology leader FLIR has actively driven this trend. High demand for its cameras across diverse markets has allowed the cost benefit of volume manufacturing to be passed onto the customer.The FLIR i5 compact infrared camera is one beneficiary.It now costs £1,595, nearly a third less than its purchase price when it was introduced in 2008. This camera is extremely easy to use – just point, shoot and detect. It can be used for a broad range of predictive maintenance and building applications enabling problem areas to be clearly seen on a crisp thermal image.

Infrared Thermography is the technique that uses a remote infrared imaging camera to record the invisible infrared energy being emitted from an object into a two dimensional picture.Thermal, or infrared energy, cannot usually be detected with the human eye because the wavelength is too long for the sensors in our eyes to detect it. Infrared radiation forms part of the electromagnetic spectrum and we often perceive it as heat.

For many key businesses, financial, I.T, media, petrochemical, oil & gas, telecommunications, large scale manufacturing etc.consequences of sudden unexpected power failures can result in severe financial and/or safety costs.The need for real predictive maintenance of all key components has been a desire that until now could not be met. The current accepted method of non-contact thermal inspection has been through thermography via thermal imaging cameras, however, this only gives a snap shot on the day - problems could arise the next day undetected.
