Infrared Thermography is the process of using a thermal imager to detect infrared radiation (heat) that is emitted by an object. The technology allows operators to validate normal operations and, more importantly, locate abnormal patterns of heat invisible to the eye which indicate possible faults, defects or inefficiencies within a system or machine asset.
