Thermal Devices

Thermal imaging technology plays a vital role in modern industrial operations across Australia, New Zealand and globally.

These devices detect infrared radiation (heat) and convert it into visual data, enabling professionals to identify anomalies, prevent failures, and enhance safety.

Applications for Thermal Devices

Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring

Thermal cameras are used to detect overheating in electrical systems, motors, and mechanical components before failure occurs.
Fixed and portable units allow for continuous or periodic monitoring depending on the criticality of the asset.

Electrical & Mechanical Inspections

Essential for identifying loose connections, overloaded circuits, and worn bearings.
Widely used in substations, switchboards, and rotating machinery.

Building & HVAC Diagnostics

Detects insulation gaps, air leaks, and moisture intrusion.
Helps optimise energy efficiency and reduce operational costs.

Optical Gas Imaging (OGI)

Specialised thermal cameras can visualise invisible gases like methane and SF6, aiding in leak detection without system shutdowns.

Process Monitoring & Automation

Integrated into industrial systems for real-time thermal analysis.
Supports quality control, safety compliance, and operational efficiency.

Environmental & Energy Audits

Thermal imaging helps identify heat loss, monitor wildlife, and support sustainability initiatives.

Safety & Emergency Response

Used by first responders and in firefighting to locate hotspots and survivors in low-visibility conditions.
Enhances situational awareness in hazardous environments.

Technology Features

High-resolution sensors (up to 640×512) with thermal sensitivity as low as ≤20 mK.
AI integration for automated anomaly detection and object tracking.
Wide-angle lenses for inspecting large targets or tight spaces, such as electrical cabinets or flare stacks.
Modular and embedded systems compatible with drones, robotics, and mobile platforms.

Applications for Thermal Devices

Industrial Fire Prevention

FLIR thermal imaging devices help prevent industrial fires by detecting heat before flames or smoke appear. They provide 24/7 automated monitoring, reduce downtime through early alerts, and improve safety by identifying overheating equipment. Their use can also lower insurance costs and is adaptable across industries like energy, recycling, and logistics.

Security

FLIR thermal security systems combine heat detection with visible imaging and AI analytics to deliver unmatched protection in any lighting or weather condition. They detect intruders by their heat signatures—even in total darkness—reduce false alarms with intelligent analytics, & provide early warnings for hidden threats. Ideal for critical infrastructure and industrial sites, FLIR ensures reliable, round-the-clock perimeter security.

Transportation Hub

FLIR thermal imaging devices enhance safety and efficiency at transportation hubs by detecting fires, intrusions, and traffic incidents in real time—even in darkness, smoke, or adverse weather. Their ability to monitor tunnels, bridges, and terminals continuously helps operators respond faster to emergencies, reduce downtime, and protect passengers and infrastructure.
