Thermal cameras can provide real-time data to automation systems, ensuring constant surveillance of critical systems. When a threshold temperature is exceeded, the system can instantly trigger alarms, and send notifications.

​

Automated systems can use thermal imaging data to optimize the operation of machines and processes. For example, if a motor is running hotter than usual, the system will trigger the alarm to notify the operator before any sudden shut down occurred, and by using thermal cameras for predictive maintenance, energy efficiency, and process optimization, companies can reduce operational costs, minimize unscheduled downtimes, and extend the lifespan of equipment.
