Infrared inspection of plant systems under operating load. Switchgear, motor control centers, transformers, and mechanical drive trains screened for thermal anomalies — captured against baseline comparison and ASTM E1934-anchored reporting.
Surveys are run while the equipment is in operation — load matters, because thermal anomalies surface only when current flows. Droz schedules surveys to match peak operating conditions, not convenience.
Every asset has a thermal baseline — built from prior surveys, ambient-temperature normalization, and load-corrected reference. Anomalies are graded by ΔT against baseline, not raw temperature.
Per-asset reports with thermogram, visible-light reference, ΔT, severity grade, and recommended action — dispatched same-day for severity exceedances and rolled up to the corporate dashboard.
Methodology runs under the broader Predictive Maintenance engagement →
Survey methodology, reporting format, and severity grading conducted in accordance with ASTM E1934 — the authoritative guide for industrial infrared inspection.
Droz's thermography program is delivered under the firm's ISO 9001-aligned QMS — survey routes, reports, and corrective recommendations under change control.
Findings interpreted with reference to NETA Maintenance Testing Specifications and NFPA 70B recommended-practice guidance where applicable.
Focus — thermography, diagnostics, AI insight.

Electrical thermography routes are typically run on an annual cadence for compliance and on a quarterly or monthly cadence for critical switchgear and transformers. Mechanical drive-train thermography piggybacks the vibration route. Each survey produces a per-asset thermogram report with ΔT, severity grade, and recommended action; severity exceedances dispatch same-day to the CMMS and the reliability dashboard.
FLIR thermal imagers (T-series and high-resolution science cameras) for electrical and mechanical surveys. FLIR Inspection Route and Thermography Studio for report production.
Field reports synchronized to the cloud and into the Droz reliability data platform — no manual re-keying between camera, lab, and corporate dashboard.
