Beyond Human Vision: Detecting Hidden Dangers with Thermal Cameras

Often, great dangers lie right before our eyes without us being able to see or perceive them. This was also the case for one of our customers in Spain.

Overheated motor on the conveyor belt – detected with an AVIAN thermal camera

Although there were several employees standing directly in front of this conveyor belt, they could not recognize that a drive motor, covered with sawdust, was dangerously overheating right before them.

Both alarm thresholds were exceeded within minutes – our system responded immediately

A temperature rise that remained invisible to the human eye – but was reliably detected by our thermal cameras.

Within just a few minutes, both thresholds for the motor were clearly exceeded. Our system immediately triggered a customized alert chain, allowing the responsible employees on-site to react quickly, shut down the conveyor belt, and fortunately prevent anything worse from happening.

With the PLC integration from AVIAN, machine shutdowns can also be carried out instantly and fully automatically – meaning you no longer even need to rely on the reaction time of yourself or your employees.

You too can protect your operations from such hazards – our intelligent thermal cameras reliably monitor your facilities 24/7, around the clock. We detect dangers and fires before they even develop – whether you are at home or standing right in front of them.

If you would like to increase safety in your operations, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us today – our team will be happy to help!
