In addition to the mechanical checks on control installations, I have an IR scan carried out after installation to identify potential hot spots. Over the years, I have seen Motors, PSU's, MCB's, and wire terminations that are hot which has meant we can investigate & rectify issues before any downtime occurs. We also use as a part of our predictive maintenance schedule. Having the ability to detect potential issues and rectify before the issue becomes a fault resulting in downtime has a definite saving to business, especially if your business in FMCG.
