Electrical Thermal Image Inspections-electrical preventive maintenance

Studies prove that a planned repair job takes only a fraction of the time needed for an unplanned job, thus planned or even better preventive maintenance is a must in the leaders of all industries. Being proactive as a “firefighter” the following advantages can be gained:

• Maintenance costs – down by 50 percent
• Unexpected failures – reduced by 55 percent
• Repair and overhaul time – down by 60 percent
• Spare parts inventory – reduced by 30 percent
• 30 percent increase in machinery mean time between failures (MTBF)
• 30 percent increase in uptime.

Infrared surveys performed by our experienced thermographers provide a significant advantage to your preventative maintenance programs. It is inevitable that equipment failures and breakdowns will occur and there is no way to predict the extent of damage. Equipment failures often have financial consequences that go well beyond fixing the damaged component. In many cases, production downtime can far outweigh the cost of the repair. Studies prove that Infrared inspection programs, on the average, for every $1 spent on infrared electrical inspections, there is a $4 return on investment for materials and labor from fixing the problem before it fails. In these days of just-in-time supplied parts, the inability to make good on a commitment can result in the loss of future sales.
