Automated thermal inspections for predictive maintenance

Detecting an overheating motor can be the difference between a $1,000 repair or a $50,000 replacement. Thermal inspections with Spot empowers industrial teams to automate and streamline asset condition monitoring.

The advantage of robotic infrared inspections

Thermal images collected by Spot offer pixel-level temperature data of pumps, motors, and electrical equipment. With automated inspections, you can collect this data more efficiently, and more frequently, than manual processes, improving system health and minimizing unplanned downtime.

“From an IR perspective, you look for these hot spots, and they are indicative of areas where there needs to be some mechanical treatment done... knowing the condition of the bushings, and knowing that there may or may not be any leaks – this information is extremely valuable.”

“Where I’d like to see it go is for Spot to walk around the building and not only take radiation levels, but also take vibration readings and temperature readings, and conduct contamination surveys. It’s just a matter of getting the right sensors and doing the right programming.”
