Industrial & Manufacturing
Industrial thermal imaging case studies: inline quality inspection, process monitoring, and predictive maintenance across manufacturing plants.
Cooled MWIR Monitoring of a Glass Melting Furnace and Float Line
How a float glass plant put cooled MWIR cameras on its melting furnace and tin bath — reading glass-melt temperature through the furnace atmosphere, trending refractory wear, and stabilizing the forming process that governs optical quality.

Inline Thermal Monitoring for Baking and Sterilization in Food Processing
How a bakery and ready-meal producer replaced contact probe sampling with inline radiometric thermal imaging — verifying every product's core temperature at the oven exit and catching a drifting sterilization retort before a batch was compromised.

Thermal Balancing of Injection Molds for Quality-Critical Parts
How a precision molder used radiometric thermal imaging to balance mold temperature across cavities and cooling circuits — cutting warpage rejects and shortening new-mold commissioning from weeks of trial shots to days.

Thermal Failure Analysis of PCBA: From Lab Bench to Inline Screening
How an electronics manufacturer's failure-analysis lab cut diagnosis time from days to hours with near-focus thermal imaging — and then pushed the same technique onto the line as a power-on screening step.

Ladle Refractory Hot-Spot Monitoring in a Steel Plant
How a steel plant replaced chalk-and-eyeball ladle inspections with continuous thermal shell monitoring — catching refractory wear at the warm-shell stage and retiring ladles by data instead of by calendar.

OGI Gas Leak Detection at a Petrochemical Park: LDAR with Cooled MWIR
How a petrochemical complex replaced sniffing thousands of fittings one by one with cooled-MWIR optical gas imaging — scanning whole pipe racks in minutes and finding leaks its LDAR program had missed for years.
