Thermal imaging cameras are ideally suited to automate certain tasks. Therefore, they are used in the (petro)chemical, pharmaceutical, food and other sectors to monitor production processes.

Automation offers many advantages over manual measurement:
As you know, there are different types of thermal imaging cameras available. For a correct measurement, it is obviously important that you select the right type.
A first major concern is the aperture angle and resolution. What is the smallest component to be measured? Is it about fire prevention on a vast property, or do you want to monitor a component of an industrial machine?
Furthermore, the speed a role. Some automation projects require a cooled thermal imaging camera. This has a higher measurement speed. Because the number of frames per second is higher, there is less haze and the camera can analyze fast-moving objects much more easily.
Finally, there is the area. Will you set up the camera indoors or outdoors? Some thermal imaging cameras are already equipped with protection for dusty environments, for others we have customized housings.
Hardware is an important link in the automation process. Yet we must not forget the software. It processes the images. With incorrect settings, the measurements are unreliable and the whole automation project falls apart.
In addition, the use of additional software allows interesting functions, such as, among others, activating an alarm when a certain threshold value was exceeded.
