Thermal Imaging
Side by side thermal sensor and visible RGB drone video
Using an industrial drone equipped with thermal sensor we can enable visualization of temperature data that is otherwise invisible to the naked eye. This has a variety of applications including:
Building Inspections: We can detect heat loss, identifying insulation issues, and locating moisture intrusion in roofs and walls.
Search and Rescue: We can help locate missing pets by detecting body heat in various environments, especially during nighttime or low-visibility conditions.
Wildlife Monitoring: We can assist in the tracking and monitoring of animals, especially at night, by detecting their body heat.
Agriculture: We can help assess crop health and irrigation issues by identifying temperature changes in fields, leading to better resource management.
Energy Audits: We can inspect solar panels and other energy systems to find malfunctions or inefficiencies based on heat patterns.
Solar Inspection
We have extensive experience using our thermal drones to detect temperature variations across the surface of solar panels. These temperature differences can indicate issues such as faulty components, poor connections, or debris accumulation, all of which can impact the efficiency and output of your solar energy system.
By flying over a solar installation, we capture infrared images that highlight heat signatures. Areas that are overheating, contrasted with cooler sections, can be quickly identified. This non-invasive method allows for safe and efficient inspections without the need for scaffolding or ladders, which can be time-consuming and costly.
Furthermore, thermal imaging helps in predictive maintenance by allowing operators to address potential problems before they lead to significant failures. Regular monitoring can enhance the overall performance of solar installations and prolong their lifespan, ultimately leading to increased return on investment.
Industrial Facilities
We use thermal drones to conduct comprehensive inspections of equipment and infrastructure. Traditional methods often involve manual checks, which can be time-consuming and sometimes unreliable. In contrast, thermal drones can cover large areas quickly while providing accurate data, making them an essential resource for predictive maintenance.
Thermal imaging allows for the detection of overheating components, insulation failures, or electrical faults, reducing the likelihood of costly downtime due to unexpected failures. This proactive approach not only cuts maintenance costs but also enhances workplace safety by identifying hazards early.
