Infrared Thermography

Infrared thermography detects and visualizes thermal patterns by capturing infrared radiation emitted by equipment and structures. Technicians use specialized thermal cameras to identify temperature anomalies in electrical systems, mechanical equipment, building envelopes, and industrial processes without requiring direct contact or shutdown. This technique is used to detect failing components, locate insulation defects, prevent equipment breakdowns, and prioritize maintenance interventions before failures occur.

Infrared Thermography sits under Preventive and Predictive Maintenance in the Maintenance, Repair, and Facility Services domain of the Luminid skills catalogue.
