Professional thermal imaging with Fluke cameras for industry and commercial facilities.

Detect defects early, prevent failures, reduce energy costs.

Benefits of thermography

Did you know?

Around 30% of all fires in industrial facilities have an electrical cause. Regular thermographic inspections can uncover these risks early and prevent fires.

Benefits of Thermography

Thermography is one of the most effective methods for preventive maintenance. It's fast, non-contact, and doesn't interrupt operations.

Early Detection

Spot defects and overloads before they cause failures or fires.

Cost Reduction

Avoid unplanned downtime and cut repair costs through timely maintenance.

Energy Efficiency

Find heat losses in buildings, piping, and equipment to reduce energy costs.

Non-Contact

Measurement without physical contact and without shutting down. Your production keeps running.

Documentation

Detailed reports with thermal images, temperature readings, and specific action items.

Fluke Precision

Calibrated Fluke thermal cameras only, for the highest measurement accuracy and reliability.

Versatile applications

Where Thermography Makes a Difference

From electrical systems to mechanical components to building envelopes, thermography reveals weak points that are invisible to the naked eye.

Electrical Systems & Switchgear

Switchgear, distribution boards, transformers, fuses. Catch overheating and loose connections early.

Mechanical Equipment

Bearings, gearboxes, motors, couplings. Detect increased friction and wear through temperature anomalies.

Building Thermography

Locate thermal bridges, insulation defects, leaks, and moisture damage.

Photovoltaic Systems

Hot spot detection, defective cells, bypass diode failures, and connection problems.

Heating & Piping Systems

Locate blockages, leaks, and malfunctions without contact.

Process Monitoring

Monitor temperature distribution in production processes and optimize parameters.

Focus: Photovoltaics

PV Thermography. Find hidden power losses.

Thermographic testing of PV systems is one of our specialties. Defects often go unnoticed for a long time and cause gradual performance degradation.

Hot Spot Detection

Localized overheating of individual cells, indicating cell defects, shading, or soiling.

Defective Bypass Diodes

Faulty bypass diodes produce characteristic heat patterns that are clearly identifiable via thermography.

Connection Problems

Loose or corroded connectors create contact resistance that shows up as heat sources.

String Failures

Failed strings show clearly different temperature profiles compared to functioning strings.

Tip: We recommend combining PV thermography with a DGUV V3 test of the PV system. Thermal and electrical testing in one visit.

Frequently Asked Questions about Thermography

Industrial thermography uses thermal cameras for non-contact surface temperature measurement. We work exclusively with Fluke thermal cameras that deliver the highest resolution and accuracy. This allows early detection of defects, overheating, and energy losses without interrupting operations.

Thermography is used to inspect electrical systems, switchgear, mechanical components, building envelopes, photovoltaic systems (hot spot detection, defective cells, bypass diodes), and for preventive maintenance in industrial settings.

Yes, thermographic inspection of PV systems is one of our specialties. We detect hot spots, defective cells, bypass diode failures, and connection issues with Fluke thermal cameras. The inspection is performed during operation with sufficient solar irradiance.

Costs depend on the scope of the inspection. We are happy to provide a custom quote after a free initial consultation.

For critical systems, we recommend annual thermographic inspections. Regular checks of switchgear and electrical distribution boards are especially important for fire prevention. PV systems should be thermographically inspected at least every 4 years.
