Thermography is done to save money - possibly big money. It does this by identifying temperature anomalies, and so helps to:

• Find problems quickly and while equipment is operating under normal conditions.

• Monitor and evaluate faults before they become critical.

• Reduce downtime by avoiding equipment failure and so improves system reliability.

• Plan targeted and therefore less expensive maintenance.

• Avoid unnecessary servicing of components that are functioning correctly.

• Ensure safety of staff and public from equipment failures as part of WHS commitment.

• Improve risk management through planned preventative maintenance.

• Comply with Insurance company requirements (sometimes obligatory in order to obtain cover), and possibly to gain a reduced premiums.
