Condition Monitoring
Flir Industrial Condition Monitoring tools and software help protect your entire plant.
Flir thermal, acoustic, OGI, and electrical tools deliver real-time condition monitoring across mechanical and electrical assets—so you can act before failures, improve Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and keep production on spec.
Predict the Unpredictable
There are lots of ways to decide when to perform equipment maintenance:
- Let the equipment run until it fails
- Schedule regular repairs regardless of condition
- Monitor equipment to track loss of performance
Or, you can get proactive. Build a cost-effective condition monitoring program to investigate the root causes of equipment failure. This can include:
- Routine thermal inspections of electrical and mechanical equipment to discover failing wires, fuses, belts, and motors before they cause shutdowns
- Acoustic inspections on air compressors, vacuum systems, or industrial gas systems to discover leaks that could raise energy costs
- Continuous monitoring of equipment for early signs of misalignment, wear, and tear
By regularly collecting this data, your team can easily pinpoint the optimal time for maintenance and even improve equipment availability and improve plant reliability, so failures don't happen again.
Detect Air Leaks, Partial Discharge, and More with Acoustic Imaging Cameras
Acoustic imaging is a powerful tool for condition monitoring, enabling fast, non-contact detection of issues that are often invisible to traditional methods. In industrial environments, systems like compressed air and vacuum networks are critical, yet even small leaks can lead to energy loss, increased equipment wear, and higher operating costs. Because compressed air is often a plant’s second most important power source, identifying leaks early helps reduce strain on compressors and prevent premature failures.
Acoustic imaging also plays a key role in detecting partial discharge in high-voltage systems, including corona and arcing, allowing teams to identify electrical faults before they escalate. By quickly locating leaks and electrical issues without disrupting operations,Flir acoustic imaging solutions help improve safety, reduce maintenance costs, and enhance overall reliability.
From Image, to Decision, to Action
Whether you're working with a handheld thermal imaging camera, acoustic imaging camera, or optical gas imaging (OGI) camera, Flir offers the best software solutions for condition monitoring programs.
Key to organizing and managing your inspection data is Flir Assetlink™: a browser-based platform that automatically connects inspection data to your asset hierarchy, enabling instant trending, dashboards, and report generation.
Compatible with Flir iXX-Series, T-Series, and Exx-Series cameras—and with more to come—Assetlink simplifies inspections, eliminates reporting time, and empowers teams to make faster, smarter decisions.
Upload, Share, and Report
All thermal and OGI cameras are compatible with Flir Ignite™, our cloud service for direct image upload, analysis, and reporting.
Sync your images to the desktop Ignite application to view images, create temperature trend graphs, collaborate with clients, generate reports, and more.
