Thermal inspections use field-tested workflows with audit-ready documentation and explicit human approvals.
Infrared cameras detect thermal radiation invisible to the human eye. Temperature differentials reveal problems that would otherwise go unnoticed until failure occurs.
In the visual spectrum, solar panels may appear identical. Thermal imaging reveals hot spots indicating failed cells, bypass diode issues, or connection problems that reduce output and risk fire.
Identify hot spots, failed cells, bypass diode failures, and connection issues across solar installations with field-tested workflows.
Detect thermal bridges, insulation gaps, air leakage, and moisture intrusion in roofs and facades using field-tested workflows.
Locate overheating transformers, loose connections, and overloaded circuits in substations and distribution infrastructure with field-tested workflows.
Monitor mechanical systems, HVAC equipment, pipelines, and processing facilities with field-tested workflows.
Field-tested workflows deliver systematic coverage with repeatable flight patterns and standardized data collection under explicit approvals.
Define inspection area, set camera parameters, and generate optimal flight paths that ensure complete coverage with appropriate overlap.
Consistent altitude, angle, and spacing produce comparable imagery across the entire installation—essential for accurate analysis.
Individual thermal images are stitched into a single, georeferenced map showing temperature distribution across the entire site.
Temperature thresholds identify and classify anomalies. Results are georeferenced for field crews to locate and repair.
Complete temperature map of the inspection area. Georeferenced for GIS integration and field navigation.
Detailed list of identified issues with GPS coordinates, severity classification, and recommended actions.
Visual imagery aligned with thermal data for context. Helps identify physical causes of thermal anomalies.
Thermal inspections inform governance requirements for Flightworks Control. See also: Fire Perimeter Monitoring — the lead demo target for overnight governed autonomy.
Pilot engagements are limited and focused on validating governance-first workflows.
