Brady: Why Every Maintenance Plan Needs Infrared Thermography for Electrical Inspection

In manufacturing environments, you can’t manage what you can’t see. And when it comes to the safety and reliability of your electrical systems, there can be a lot hiding just out of sight. A loose connection in a control panel, for instance, won’t spark or make a sound. But it will generate heat — and that heat is a silent warning of a looming failure and, ultimately, a safety incident. That’s where infrared (IR) thermography comes in. It’s a simple yet incredibly effective way to see these hidden thermal signals, giving you the power to find and fix warning indicators before they become expensive and dangerous problems.
