Case Studies
Real-world deployments of IRmodules thermal cores and imaging modules — condition monitoring, automated inspection, and research applications.
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.

Drone Thermal Inspection of Wind Turbine Blades and Drivetrains
How a wind farm operator added drone-borne thermal imaging to its blade and drivetrain inspection program — finding subsurface blade defects and overheating gearbox bearings without rope access or long shutdowns.

Always-On Thermal Monitoring of Power Distribution Cabinets in a Data Center
How a colocation data center moved its electrical distribution cabinets from quarterly infrared surveys to continuous thermal monitoring — catching a deteriorating busbar joint at 2 a.m., weeks before it would have taken a row of racks down.

Unattended Thermal Monitoring for a Regional Substation Network
How a regional grid operator replaced monthly patrol rounds at 23 unmanned substations with fixed radiometric thermal cameras — catching overheating bushings and connections weeks before failure, and cutting patrol mileage by two thirds.
