Data centre downtime wastes $8000 a minute.[1] Manufacturing halts can cost companies $260 000 an hour.[2] Worse, fires might result in insurance claims worth millions![3] Aside from huge expenses, the thing all these issues have in common is that they often arise from temperature changes you didn't see. By the time the fault is visible, it's already too late and too expensive! Overheating bearings, overloaded electrical panels, and waste pile hotspots are all precursors to failures and fires, and all produce heat detectable by thermal imaging cameras. To find out how the FLIR A40 Automated Thermal Camera can reduce unplanned downtime, maintain equipment health, and prevent fires before they start, we spoke to Nasim Gauher, Teledyne FLIR’s Application Engineer for Industrial Automation. In this PASS Presents episode, Nasim divulges his expert advice on setting up, integrating, and using the FLIR A40 for 24/7 condition monitoring. Discover how you could prevent failures before they occur simply by integrating the FLIR A40 Thermal Camera into your existing condition monitoring system.

PASS Presents the FLIR A40 Automated Thermal Camera
If you're responsible for keeping industrial plants running efficiently day and night, we know expensive downtime, costly repairs, and fires are the stuff of your nightmares. Fortunately, the FLIR A40 Automated Thermal Camera provides continuous visibility of equipment health, taking the stress and uncertainty out of condition monitoring.
Offering 24/7 coverage, the FLIR A40 detects, visualises, and alerts you to emerging hotspots, so you can identify early stage faults and emerging fires before they take hold, saving thousands in downtime and repairs.
To find out how to set up the A40, easily integrate it into existing condition monitoring systems, and configure relevant temperature alarms, PASS Presents spoke to Nasim Gauher, Teledyne FLIR’s Application Engineer for Industrial Automation. In this video, Nasim talks us through the FLIR A40's features and demonstrates how it can be used to pinpoint overheating components in a substation.
