WEBINARS

The first line of defense is a monitoring system to detect threats before they reach the site. Sensors with infrared technology can detect threats from hundreds of meters away and in adverse conditions like rain, fog, snow, glaring sunlight, or darkness. These sensors can classify objects as human or vehicle and ignore other objects that cause false alarms. As an added benefit, infrared sensors can monitor assets for temperature anomalies.

This webinar will outline how Infrared Thermography plays a key role in a comprehensive Asset Performance Management (APM) System. The webinar will show how APM can reduce overall O&M costs while at the same time increase operational efficiencies, safety and reliability. Infrared Thermography plays an important role in finding anomalies in the electrical system.  However, automation, advancements in the technology, and integration with asset management systems unlocks a new level of information that can be used to optimize operations. The webinar will demonstrate how Infrared Thermography plays a key role in Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) and Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) programs that can provide users comprehensive diagnostics and prognostics information of their substation primary and secondary equipment. This information can be used to optimize the usage of this equipment, avoiding unplanned outages, and moving to a “Just in Time” maintenance schedule.
