Why Thermal Intelligence Matters

Early Detection

Identify thermal anomalies 3-5 years before critical failure. Our drone-mounted thermal imaging detects hot spots invisible to ground-based inspections.

Safety First

Aviation-grade safety protocols keep personnel away from energized equipment while delivering comprehensive coverage impossible with traditional methods.

Actionable Reports

Receive geo-referenced thermal data with severity classifications your maintenance team can act on immediately—no additional testing required.

More Than Just Thermal Images

Our competitors deliver thermal images. We deliver defensible, code-compliant reports that your engineers, insurance carriers, and compliance officers can rely on.

Why BESS Thermal Monitoring is Critical

Battery energy storage systems face unique thermal challenges:

Thermal Runaway Risk

Cell failures can propagate rapidly through battery modules if not detected early.

Limited Ground Access

Large installations are difficult to inspect manually with complete coverage.

Connection Hot Spots

High-current connections generate heat that can indicate developing failures.

Traditional monitoring relies on built-in sensors that only detect problems after temperatures reach dangerous levels.

Comprehensive Aerial Thermal Intelligence

Hidden Problems Cost You Money

Solar installations face numerous issues invisible to the naked eye:

Hot Spot Defects

Cell-level failures reducing output and potentially causing long-term damage.

String Imbalances

Underperforming modules dragging down entire string performance.

Connection Issues

Loose terminals creating resistance and generating heat.

Manual inspections miss problems, and sampling only covers 10-25% of installations.

100% System Coverage in Minutes

Complete Assessment Includes:

✓ Drone thermal imaging (10 minutes per MW)
✓ Solar irradiance measurement
✓ DC current verification
✓ Ambient condition documentation
✓ IEC 62446-3 compliant methodology

What We Detect:

✓ Module-level thermal anomalies
✓ Underperforming strings
✓ Electrical connection hot spots
✓ Foreign object contamination
✓ Inverter performance issues

MediGuard™ - Healthcare Critical Power Systems

Life-critical backup power monitoring with zero tolerance for failure

Schedule MediGuard™ Inspection

When Power Fails, Lives Are at Risk

Healthcare facilities depend on backup power systems for:

Life Support Equipment

Ventilators, monitors, and critical care devices must never lose power.

Operating Room Power

Surgical procedures require uninterrupted electrical supply.

Climate Control

Patient comfort and medication storage depend on HVAC systems.

A single battery system failure during an emergency could be catastrophic.

GridGuard™ - Utility Infrastructure Thermal Monitoring

Prevent equipment failures and maintain grid reliability

Schedule GridGuard™ Inspection

The Problem

Utility infrastructure faces constant thermal stress:

Substation Overheating

Equipment stress from high loads and environmental conditions.

Connection Failures

Transmission line connections deteriorate over time and with weather exposure.

Equipment Deterioration

✓ Substations and switchyards
✓ Transmission and distribution lines
✓ Transformer banks
✓ Circuit breakers and disconnects
✓ Insulators and connections

Safety Benefits:

✓ Personnel stay safely away from energized equipment
✓ Faster inspection cycles
✓ Better coverage of large facilities
✓ Storm damage rapid assessment
