Condition Monitoring
Continuous monitoring identifies problems before failures occur in order to prevent costly production stops. Typical equipment that is monitored includes high- and low voltage installations, turbines, compressors, and other electrical and mechanical equipment.
Proper condition monitoring with continuous thermal cameras can be an efficient and effective way to maintain uptime. To learn more about condition monitoring, please visit this page.

Compact FLIR thermal imager is a game changer for condition monitoring
See how a Taiwanese technology firm is helping industrial firms integrate FLIR condition monitoring cameras with their systems, to provide 24/7 monitoring that protects equipment, and prevents downtime.
Flare stacks
Flare stacks are used in many industries to burn off unwanted waste gas byproducts, or flammable gases released by pressure relief valves during unplanned over-pressuring of plant equipment. Thermal imaging cameras are ideal monitoring tools because they allow full-time remote monitoring in virtually any weather. In addition, thermal imaging cameras avoid many of the technical and cost-related problems associated with other technologies such as ultraviolet (UV) flame detectors, flame ionization spectrometers, thermocouples, and pyrometers.

Substations
Electric power utilities today are faced with an aging infrastructure, increasing risk of blackouts and brownouts as well as security threats. Unplanned maintenance can be expensive in the best-case scenarios and catastrophic in the worst. With FLIR thermal imaging cameras and condition monitoring software, impending equipment failures and security breaches can be detected anytime, day or night, from a remote monitoring location.

Steel mill ladles
Steel mill ladles have limited lives. As their refractory linings wear or break due to shock, the outer part of a ladle can be exposed to excessive temperatures. If not caught in time, the result can be ladle disintegration and a molten metal breakout, threatening the lives of workers and destroying equipment. FLIR thermal imaging camera systems monitor ladles in real time and warn of a breakout before it happens.

Electrical & mechanical installations
Some critical electrical and mechanical installations in manufacturing companies and utilities are monitored 24/7 with a thermal imaging camera. Heat buildup indicates poor equipment health and possible impending failure. A fixed-mounted thermal imaging camera gives you the advantage, so you don’t need to rely on periodic inspections. Alarms can be set to go off once a temperature threshold is exceeded.
Livestock health
Modern farms increasingly resemble factories in their makeup as they become more and more industrialized. The present-day farmer spends less time performing menial tasks and more time behind the computer. In these circumstances good automatic monitoring systems are a must to ensure quality and continuity. Thermal imaging cameras make sense in an automated system anywhere you need to monitor temperature change on the farm, including: livestock health, herd management, irrigation control, and commodity storage and handling.
Get the Data for Your Analytics, Your Way
Detect and identify thermal issues across manufacturing and industrial processes, collect accurate thermal data, and analyze it using your own proprietary software with this new line of FLIR thermal imaging cameras. Axxx-Series cameras configured for Standard or Advanced Image Streaming can solve your specific task through simplified integration with custom developed software.
