Thermal image of an electric motor (illustrative)
Data Frontier product · thermography

A fixed thermal camera for industry, built to keep watching.

Not a handheld camera: a camera installed in front of the panel, the bearing or the motor, which logs the heat of each region marked on the image at regular intervals and sends it to the platform. The platform compares it with the equipment’s own baseline and alerts you by e-mail and WhatsApp when a new hot spot appears. Design, firmware and manufacturing by Data Frontier, in Brazil.

  • Fixed installation, in front of the asset
  • Several regions per image, each with its own history
  • Alerts when the pattern changes
  • On the same dashboard as the vibration sensors

How it works

From the thermal image to the maintenance alert.

  1. 01

    Aims

    The camera is mounted in front of the asset, with the regions of interest marked: each phase, each terminal, the bearing housing.

  2. 02

    Logs

    At regular intervals, it measures the temperature of each region and sends it through our gateway.

  3. 03

    Compares

    The platform compares each region with its own history and with similar regions, at the same load.

  4. 04

    Alerts

    A new hot spot, or one past its limit, becomes an e-mail and a WhatsApp message, only when the level changes.

What the camera delivers

Fixed thermal camera

The value of a fixed camera lies in the time series: the same asset, every day, at every load and in every season.

Temperature per region

Each region marked on the image becomes a series on the dashboard, with the time of each reading.

Comparison between like points

Phase against phase, bearing against bearing: the difference between points that should match is the most reliable signal.

Alerts on change

A notice when a region crosses its limit or drifts from its own baseline, without repeating at every reading.

A record for maintenance

Region, temperature and time of each event, for the work order and for confirmation on site.

Alongside vibration

On the same platform as the vibration sensors and the automatic lubricator, with the same alerts.

Our hardware and firmware

The people who designed the camera look after it and its integration, with no outside supplier in between.

Where it says on request, the value depends on the model and comes in the data sheet that accompanies the proposal. We would rather do that than publish a number we cannot guarantee for your application.

Where to use it
  • Electrical panels and busbars

    Loose connections, oxidized terminals and overloaded phases, before the trip.

  • Bearings, couplings and motors

    Friction, misalignment and lack of lubricant show up as heat.

  • Transformers and drives

    Heating above the equipment’s own baseline, at the same load.

Designed, built and supported by the same team.

The board, the firmware, the integration and the platform are Data Frontier’s, engineered and built in Brazil. When something fails, the people who designed it are the ones who answer, with no outside supplier pointing at someone else. About the company.

Frequently asked questions

What people ask before requesting the data sheet.

Can the camera see through the panel door?

No: even ordinary glass blocks the infrared it measures. Either the camera goes inside the panel, or the panel gets an infrared inspection window.

Does it measure the exact temperature?

A thermal camera measures radiation and converts it into temperature; the value depends on emissivity and reflections. That is why the platform trusts the trend and the comparison between like points more than a single number.

What are the resolution and range?

They are in the data sheet that comes with the proposal. The site survey sets the distance and field of view for each point.

Does it replace infrared inspection?

No. Periodic inspection surveys the whole plant; the fixed camera watches the most critical points every day.
