  • How to Document Thermography Inspection Findings Within NFPA 70B 2023

    In the previous post from our ongoing series covering the changes to the NFPA 70B 2023 concerning thermography, we looked at requirements for measuring Delta T (section 7.4) as part of creating an effective electrical preventive maintenance (EPM) program. This post specifically looks at the guidance pertaining to documenting thermography inspection findings—ensuring that noted changes in condition are properly recorded. In addition to offering guidance on detecting Delta T, the NFPA 70b 2023 is also explicit in requiring inspectors to provide effective documentation, stating “temperature differences between the area of concern and the reference area shall be documented,” (Section 7.4.3).

  • Optimizing Japanese Agricultural Practices with the FLIR AX8

    Japan’s agriculture is faced with many serious problems, including the aging of workers, a lack of successors, and trade liberalization under the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP). A research group is working on the optimization and automation of agriculture to solve these problems using the FLIR AX8 thermal imaging camera to collect temperature images of crops during the cultivation process. By visualizing the surface temperatures of crops on a time series, a technology not available in the past, their data can improve agricultural optimization and automation.

  • Safe, Low-Cost Diagnosis of Concrete Structures with High-Definition Thermal Imaging

    With the aging of social infrastructure systems becoming an urgent issue, the Japanese company West Nippon Expressway Engineering Shikoku Company Limited has developed a technology called “IrBAS” using FLIR A6701sc thermal imaging cameras. Currently, the team—including Mr. Matsuda, Mr. Hashimoto, and Mr. Hayashi—is using the IrBAS as an aging countermeasure for maintaining concrete structures.

  • Thermal By FLIR Partner Foresight Fuses Stereo Thermal and Visible Imaging

    QuadSight, a multi-spectral vision solution from Foresight, is an innovator in automotive vision systems. The QuadSight imaging system essentially combines data from two FLIR Boson thermal imaging cameras and two RGB cameras, hence quad, developed with a ground-breaking stereo imaging method by merging the strengths of each vision system technology. All four cameras are synced and run at 30 frames per second, featuring a unique, patent-pending technology that calibrates all cameras to a common coordinate axis, thus providing accurate pixel fusion between images received from the RGB and thermal cameras.
