Advanced Predictive Maintenance with Thermography

Advanced thermography transforms maintenance into prevention: we identify hot spots, imbalances and energy losses before failure occurs. Using radiometric images and repeatable protocols, we reduce downtime, prioritise work orders and enhance electrical and mechanical safety across energy plants, industrial facilities and logistics environments, with full traceability.

We integrate high-resolution cameras and software-based analysis to generate trends, thresholds and severity criteria comparable between campaigns. Reports include measurement parameters, evidence, recommendations and risk classification, accelerating decisions, documenting compliance and optimising the lifespan of critical assets, with measurements carried out by an ITC Level 2 certified thermographer.

What Does Advanced Predictive Maintenance with Thermography Involve?

We plan routes, loads and operating conditions to measure equipment under real operating regimes. We capture radiometric images for each component (fuses, busbars, bearings, drives) and record emissivity, distance and optics, always under the supervision of an ITC Level 2 certified thermographer. The repeatability of the method enables campaign comparison, root cause attribution and the definition of clear KPIs for engineering and maintenance teams.

Each anomaly is evaluated based on thermal differential and asset context: load, ventilation, vibration and reference temperatures. The analysis eliminates false positives, identifies degradation and recommends graduated corrective actions (retightening, cleaning, replacement, monitoring), aligned with safety, production and environmental priorities.

Results are delivered in structured reports including evidence, measurement tables, risk maps and recommendations prioritised by severity and process criticality. We publish historical records per asset to demonstrate trends and the effectiveness of actions, integrating tasks into CMMS systems and preventive maintenance plans.

Benefits of Advanced Predictive Maintenance with Thermography

Predictive thermography reduces uncertainty and transforms the maintenance model: fewer failures, fewer stoppages and greater safety. Radiometric, repeatable and comparable data allows investment justification, scheduling of interventions and demonstration of compliance before audits and internal stakeholders.

Early prevention of critical and costly failures.

Reduced downtime and improved asset availability.

Enhanced operational safety by preventing fire and arc faults.

Prioritisation based on severity and process criticality.

Radiometric evidence for audit and compliance.

Clear ROI: fewer replacements and extended asset lifespan.

By standardising routes, parameters and thermal criteria, you obtain a solid baseline and verifiable continuous improvement. The roadmap of actions, with evidence and dates, aligns maintenance, production and HSE, increasing reliability and operational resilience.

Types of Defects and Deliverables in Advanced Predictive Maintenance

These are typical incidents we detect and how they are delivered. Each finding includes a radiometric image, measurement parameters, severity assessment, probable cause and prioritised recommendation, along with historical comparison records between campaigns.

Why Choose SG solutions thermography

Resolution and Sensitivity

High-resolution radiometric imagery with sensitivity <30 mK reveals invisible defects; per-pixel detail and documented parameters support reliable diagnostics and true comparability.

Repeatable Methodology

Protocols for emissivity, distance and optics, stable routes and severity criteria. Fewer false positives, consistent decisions and prioritisation according to process risk and criticality.

Decision-Oriented Reports

Evidence, risk maps and asset history with thermal KPIs; exportable to CMMS/BI systems to accelerate closures, justify investment and consolidate continuous improvement.

Expert Team and Safety

We operate with an ITC Level 2 certified thermographer and maintenance specialists, delivering actionable recommendations that increase safety, reduce downtime and improve ROI, with measurable results between campaigns and shifts.

Trust Smart Inspection

With radiometric evidence, clear thresholds and defined trends, you decide before failure occurs. Predictive thermography reduces risk, stabilises production and improves safety, with measurable and repeatable results in every campaign.

Share reports, integrate tasks into CMMS and document every decision with full traceability. Gain control of critical assets and demonstrate compliance before audits and technical committees.

Frequently Asked Questions about Advanced Predictive Maintenance with Thermography

1What load should the equipment have during measurement?

We measure under real operating conditions to identify defects under load. Safe and representative conditions are agreed for each asset.

2How is severity determined?

Severity is assessed based on thermal differential, asset criticality and context (load, ventilation, historical performance) to prioritise actions.

3Can thermography produce false positives?

We control emissivity, distance and optics; readings are validated against references and repeated to ensure reliability.

4What do I receive after the inspection?

A radiometric report including evidence, parameters, severity classification and prioritised recommendations based on risk.

5How often should inspections be repeated?

Frequency is defined according to asset criticality and operating conditions: annually, biannually or after significant process changes.

6Can it integrate with our CMMS?

Yes. We provide exportable formats and structured fields that facilitate task creation, monitoring and closure with full traceability.
