Real-World Saves
Real alarm videos from AVIAN deployments. Each case shows how continuous thermal monitoring helped a team catch abnormal heat, fire risk, or equipment failure before the event escalated.

Conservative planning estimates, not guaranteed outcomes.
We'll send practical notes on industrial fire prevention, thermal monitoring, and customer learnings. No noise.
A highspeed planer developed a friction fire near the cutting heads. In dusty, vibrating planer environments, operators need more than a heat alarm. They need to understand exactly where the danger is. AVIAN's bispect...
A planer developed an intense hot spot from mechanical friction. AVIAN detected the temperature spike early and, through PLC integration, shut the machine down before the event could spread through the planer or dust ...
A planer restarted with an incorrect setup. As material entered the machine, friction rose quickly enough to threaten equipment damage, product quality, and fire risk. AVIAN flagged the heat pattern before the run bec...
Electrical fires are dangerous because they often start where operators cannot see them: inside wiring, control panels, motors, or crowded machine spaces. In this alarm case, a fault ignited beside a highvalue product...
A frame saw developed a severe friction event and began producing smoke from beneath the carriage. AVIAN caught the event from two camera angles, giving the team a faster and more confident alarm in a machine area whe...
A pelletizing process failed during an unmanned period and produced a highenergy explosion. AVIAN detected the thermal event immediately and alerted the offsite team before the fire could spread unnoticed.
A primary drive belt on a highproduction gang saw lost traction and began generating heat fast. AVIAN detected the friction pattern early enough for the team to shut the machine down before the belt became an ignition...
A frame saw struck a foreign object and generated intense friction. Smoke built quickly, but AVIAN detected the thermal anomaly fast enough for the operator to shut the machine down before the event became a larger fire.
A lithiumion battery failed on a recycling conveyor and produced a highenergy thermal event. AVIAN detected the extreme heat immediately, giving the operator time to stop the belt and respond before the surrounding wa...
A hidden lithiumion battery failed on a recycling conveyor and sprayed molten material across the belt. AVIAN detected the flash of heat immediately, giving the operator time to respond before the fire could spread in...
A highspeed planer began throwing sparks when worn cutting heads started rubbing metal on metal. AVIAN detected the thermal signatures immediately and alerted the crew before the sparks turned into a larger fire.
A pallet notcher backed up during production, creating enough friction to make the machine smoke rapidly. AVIAN detected the abnormal thermal pattern and helped stop the process before flames erupted.
A blower motor failed in a lumber mill boiler room and discharged sparks during operation. AVIAN detected the thermal anomaly immediately and alerted the crew before the sparks could ignite surrounding wood byproducts.
A lithiumion battery entered thermal runaway in a recycling operation. AVIAN detected the heat event, alerted the customer immediately, and triggered the deluge system through PLC integration.
Incorrect roll pressure on a planer created excess friction during production. AVIAN alerted the customer immediately, giving the team time to correct the setup before the issue became downtime, breakdown, or fire.
Boards jammed inside a planer and began producing heavy smoke from friction. AVIAN recognized the abnormal heat pattern and triggered a PLC shutdown before the event became a fire.
During maintenance on an upper level, a hot chip from welding fell into a basement area near hydraulic pumps and compressors. AVIAN detected the ember before it could smolder unnoticed.
A waste extraction system backed up and pushed a large offcut into a hydraulic pump area, causing a major spark from a broken electrical contact. AVIAN had visibility in an area with almost no routine traffic.
An auxiliary blower failed catastrophically and shed hot bearing material into the baghouse. AVIAN detected the bearing failure more than an hour before the baghouse caught fire.
A wood planer fire started from the kind of highfriction condition that can ignite oil and dry material. AVIAN detected the event, triggered sprinklers, and helped prevent downtime on a multimillion dollar machine.
A critical motor began failing in a way that could have stopped the operation and created fire risk. AVIAN alerted the team before the failure forced a shutdown.
A motor began running hot enough to indicate failure risk. AVIAN detected the abnormal temperature behavior and shut the process down automatically through PLC integration.
Improper settings on a planing machine created excessive roll pressure on the outfeed. AVIAN detected the high temperatures and smoke before the setup problem caused damage or fire.
