Electrical monitoring
Identify factors that indicate pending electrical failure and fix the issue before it poses a danger
Leak detection
Discover equipment leaks so you can repair them well before they cause unplanned downtime
Temperature analysis
Heat flow patterns reveal areas of abnormally high temperature, aiding in predictive maintenance
Insulation and energy loss
Find areas where there may be poor insulation inefficiencies that could lead to issues
Predictive insights
Combined with a predictive maintenance program, infrared thermography can improve uptime and ensure worker safety
Preventive approach
Detecting faults such as overheating, insufficient insulation or loose connections prevents downtime in many cases
Detect problems early with infrared testing
Temperature changes and hot spots within electrical panels, transformers and other components are an early sign that problems are developing inside production equipment. With decades of industrial maintenance experience and technical expertise, our infrared thermography inspection services utilizing thermal imaging cameras offer manufacturers a proactive method for planning repairs before breakdowns cause expected downtime and reduce overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
Thermographic inspection of electrical equipment can help your lower maintenance costs, extend the life of production machinery by preventing or reducing heat damage, and improve safety within the facility. Other benefits of our thermal imaging inspection services include early detection of failures through identifying hot spots earlier than with other methods. We also can help improve energy efficiency by spotting areas that need more insulation. Detecting electrical components that are overheating also enhances safety by preventing fires or malfunctions. Let us help you replace your reactive maintenance procedures with an effective predictive strategy.

Frequently asked questions about thermography services
How often should thermographic inspections be performed?
With thermal sensors, you can have real-time data about the temperature of your equipment which indicates when inspections are needed. If that’s not feasible, however, it’s recommended that manufacturers at least have infrared thermal imaging inspections performed annually or semi-annually for high-risk equipment.
What types of equipment benefit most from thermal scanning?
Practically any equipment that is subject to temperature changes can benefit from IR thermography. This includes electrical systems, HVAC equipment, motors and compressors. If you have assets that could shut down unexpectedly due to excessive heat, thermal scanning should be part of your regular maintenance program.
How long does a typical thermographic inspection take?
There’s no such thing as a “typical thermographic inspection,” as the scope will depend entirely on the size and complexity of your facility and its systems. Smaller operations with fewer assets may only require a few hours, whereas large-scale facilities may need many several-hour sessions to complete a full scan. Having thermal sensors installed in key areas can provide you with real-time updates 24/7.
What kind of report or data will I receive?
In general, a thermographic inspection can provide you with detailed rundowns of temperature fluctuations within your equipment. This includes how hot they became, when those temperature spikes occurred and whether the equipment reached temperatures high enough to cause potential shutdown conditions.
Thermography maintenance services for manufacturers
Our skilled, highly trained and experienced technicians can capture and analyze the data-driven metrics provided by our infrared inspection services—increasing asset reliability and improving productivity while saving time and money. With our expertise spanning multiple industries, we can help you leverage thermographic data in the way that’s most appropriate for your operations.
