Facilities managers, you can expect blackouts, losses in the millions, disappointed customers, and serious damage to your reputation if you install an inadequate early fire and fault detection system, or, worse, you don’t have one at all! These maintenance systems are no longer a luxury. They are a must! Arguably, the best early fire and fault detection systems, guaranteed to bring you peace of mind, are automated thermal imaging cameras. To find out why and to understand the advantages of installing a FLIR A40 Automated Thermal Camera Early Fire Detection Kit, PASS Presents spoke to two FLIR representatives, Krystle Temmerman, FLIR’s Regional Sales Manager for Northern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa, and Nasim Gauhar, FLIR’s Application Engineer for Industrial Automation.

PASS Presents the FLIR A40 Thermal Camera & Early Fire Detection Kit
Manufacturers, industrial plants, utilities providers, data centres, and waste and recycling centres all need early fault and fire detection systems. That’s because every minute of unscheduled downtime is estimated to cost data centres approximately $8000,[1] while spontaneous halts in production can land manufacturers with unwelcome expenses of up to $260 000 an hour.[2] Moreover, insurance company Zurich UK reports seeing claims from waste facilities worth £20 million to cover damage caused by battery fires.[3] However, the good news is that studies have found that, within manufacturing, installing an early detection system, such as automated thermal imaging cameras, could prevent 84% of electrical failures.[4] So staggering are the financial and safety impacts of automated thermal imaging cameras that we sat down with FLIR twice to discuss the advantages of their low-cost, entry-level FLIR A40 Fixed Automation Thermal Camera and accompanying Early Fire Detection Kit. Find out what FLIR’s Application Engineer for Industrial Automation, Nasim Gauhar, and Krystle Temmerman, FLIR’s Regional Sales Manager for Northern Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa, had to say.
