Thermal imaging isn’t just a way to capture images on the infrared spectrum, allowing you to see what you can’t capture with the naked eye. What makes thermal imaging cameras worthwhile is the myriad of possibilities that come with those images. It’s an illuminating solution that can help you outperform your competition. It can save money, prevent catastrophe, and even save lives.
Discover just a few of the applications for thermal cameras to diagnose otherwise invisible problems while revealing the best possible solutions.
Applications Where Thermal Imaging Is Useful
Thermal imaging is used in surprising ways across a wide range of industries. It’s used in healthcare and veterinary offices to quickly assess body temperature from a distance. Pest control, animal rescue and termite detection use thermal imaging. First responders and law enforcement also regularly use thermal imaging to ensure public health and safety, participate in search and rescue efforts, and detect illegal activity.
But beyond that, many types of contractors, technicians and engineers can benefit from portable thermal imaging devices. Check out the following applications that will help individual professionals and entire industries transform how they prevent, seek and solve some of their most common challenges.
Home Inspection
Crucial details about a property can make or break a homeowner. And thermal imaging is a way to set yourself apart from the competition with an add-on service your customers will love.
Facilities Maintenance
What technicians can’t see can make the difference between an efficient set of systems and a facility or campus where you’re constantly chasing problems and putting out fires. Thermal imaging can make all the difference.
Manufacturing
Similar to thermal imaging applications for facilities maintenance, manufacturing and process industries can use thermography to bring about preventative and predictive maintenance, measure sustainability, and troubleshoot. And there’s good reason to lean on thermal imaging for these tasks. In a recent multi-year study, conducted by the California Manufacturers and Technology Association, in collaboration with CNA Financial Corporation, 6,154 thermography inspections were evaluated. Thermography inspections saved customers an estimated total of 52 million dollars, equating to an impressive ROI of $8,449 in savings per day.
Thermal imaging also has several applications that are unique to manufacturing.
Oil And Gas
Oil and gas industries can and do benefit immensely from thermal imaging cameras. In fact, without thermal imaging, refinery production can lag or even come to a halt, and equipment and personnel safety are brought into question. For example, detection and maintenance are two of the most important jobs where thermal imaging cameras are put to work.
