Acoustic imaging delivers a powerful, data-driven predictive maintenance solution for large logistics facilities and data centers. By accurately detecting air and gas leaks, mechanical faults, and partial discharge, acoustic imaging enables early intervention, preventing energy waste, reducing financial losses, and mitigating safety risks. The result is improved operational efficiency, reliability, and long-term competitiveness. The Challenge: Complexity at Scale Large logistics facilities and data centers operate at immense scale and intensity. Logistics centers manage enormous volumes of goods, while data centers process and store vast amounts of digital information. Both environments depend on advanced technological infrastructure and continuous, high-throughput operations. The...

Based in the UK, Pennine Healthcare manufactures and distributes a range of products for use in the medical industry. Increasing global demand has resulted in the company employing a 24-hour shift system, with products being shipped to more than 50 countries. Pennine has always held product quality in the highest possible regard, after all, there is no room for compromise or imperfections in medical devices where contaminants in production can literally be the difference between life and death. Cleanliness, precision and the highest production standards have always been core values for Pennine Healthcare which resulted in some non-production-related maintenance issues...

THERMAL IMAGING CAMERAS FLIR has officially expanded its K-Series lineup with the introduction of the K75 and K85, two next-generation thermal imaging cameras designed specifically for the demanding conditions of firefighting and emergency response. Built to deliver superior image clarity, streamlined usability, and reliable wireless data management, the new K-Series models set a new benchmark for performance in extreme environments. Enhanced Resolution and Simplified Operation The FLIR K75 and K85 feature upgraded thermal sensors, offering up to 640 × 480 resolution for sharper, more detailed imagery. Both models are equipped with single-range dynamic gain, eliminating the need to switch between...

Maintenance Sheds Under Pressure Around the world, the railway industry is an environment of extremes and contrasts. Whilst many countries have efficient, new, high speed rail services that, by and large stick to the scheduled timetable even when often overloaded with commuters, other countries have ageing rail networks, a mixture of old and new rolling stock, and incur regular breakdowns, and have a reputation that is unfortunately connected to the poor service. Rail operators are under pressure to maintain efficient and on time services, bound by service level agreements which incur hefty fines when the service delivered falls below an...

FLIR Si-Series acoustic imaging cameras offer an advanced solution for detecting issues affecting railroads and trains in real time, ensuring optimal performance, safety, and efficiency in railway operations. Railroads and trains rely on complex systems that require frequent monitoring to prevent issues like partial discharges and air leaks. These problems can cause equipment failure, service disruptions, or even accidents if not detected and addressed at an early stage. For example, undetected leaks in pneumatic systems controlling train doors, air brakes, and switch points can compromise operational safety, lead to reduced performance, or result in costly repairs. Likewise, partial discharges in...
