Two Minute Tips
Safety in Thermal Imaging
Across the world the approach to safety is quite varied, and one can easily become complacent if you do not take a wider view of it. In many forums, regardless of the engineering discipline or matter of social interest, there will be varying views about what is acceptable in terms of safety or what should be common knowledge.

Switching Strategies: Moving to Condition Based Maintenance
Balancing cost reduction and efficiency improvement targets is a common source of frustration for maintenance and engineering managers. For facilities that operate continuously with no window for unplanned shutdowns, poor reliability and availability of machinery is far more serious, but even in factories with regular opportunities for maintenance, recovery can still be expensive and time consuming.

Case Studies and Stories
Digital Maintenance Plan Avoids More Than £25,000 in Wasted Costs for Yelo
Yelo’s manufacturing plant was custom-built to enable it to produce the highest quality vegetable oil and animal feed using only mechanical processes.
Asset availability and reliability is critical to the business and the management team understood that adopting a ‘run-to-failure’ reactive maintenance approach would be both costly and inefficient.

Five Minute Facts
Mechanical Infrared Opportunities
While infrared is one of the most versatile of condition monitoring tools, we often fail to utilize it to its full potential. We know infrared is a key technology for all levels of electrical applications but when establishing condition monitoring programs, we may not realize what a great support technology it is for a variety of mechanical applications....

Five Minute Facts
Is That a “Real Hot Spot” or Just a Reflection?
So much emphasis is placed on emissivity that in many cases reflectivity is not given the respect and attention it deserves. When capturing high-quality infrared data, reflected or background energy must be known, along with an understanding of how it is influencing the image and data.
