Smart Surveillance & Asset Monitoring Solution :

Modern utility companies require a monitoring infrastructure that surpasses mere collection of remote asset information. This infrastructure necessitates unparalleled reliability and sophisticated analytical capabilities to detect operational irregularities preemptively, thus averting potential failures and service interruptions. Moreover, it should seamlessly integrate with other systems to gather and consolidate data, presenting users with actionable insights. Such insights empower users to make well-informed maintenance choices, ultimately leading to significant savings in both time and expenditure.

The extensive size and complexity of the distribution grid present significant challenges in safeguarding its physical assets. Key factors include its wide geographical coverage, accessibility, and the diversity and aging of the infrastructure. A multi-layered approach is essential to effectively monitor and protect these critical assets. As incidents of vandalism and sabotage increase, utilities are confronted with the challenge of finding a cost-effective surveillance solution for their critical infrastructure that does not compromise cybersecurity when integrated into their internal network.

SAM Analytic Solutions proudly partners with Planck Vision Systems to bring cutting-edge thermal imaging technology to industries worldwide. This collaboration leverages Planck Vision’s expertise in thermal cameras to enhance operational efficiency, improve safety measures, and optimize maintenance strategies across diverse sectors.

Harnessing the Power of Thermal Imaging Technology

Thermal cameras, such as those developed by Planck Vision, are pivotal tools in modern industrial applications. They capture and visualize infrared radiation emitted by objects, transforming this data into visible images called thermograms. This technology provides valuable insights into temperature differentials across surfaces, enabling precise monitoring of equipment performance, energy efficiency, and potential issues before they escalate. By continuously monitoring temperature fluctuations, thermal cameras play a crucial role in all stages of risk management:

Prevention

Early detection of thermal anomalies allows for preventive maintenance, addressing minor issues before they evolve into major equipment failures or safety hazards

Detection

Thermal cameras excel at real-time detection of security breaches or suspicious activity. Their ability to see through darkness, smoke, and fog ensures they don't miss critical events, regardless of environmental conditions.

Recovery

Prompt identification of problems through thermal imaging enables a faster response time for recovery efforts. This minimizes damage, streamlines repairs, and reduces downtime.

Applications of Thermal technology

Substations are critical to our energy infrastructure, and their safe operation is paramount. Overheating of equipment can lead to catastrophic failures, including fires and explosions. Our thermal imaging and thermometric cameras continuously monitor the temperature of substation equipment, providing early warnings of potential overheating. This early detection allows for timely maintenance interventions, significantly reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety of your personnel.

Thermal imaging technology also plays a crucial role in enhancing substation security. Our cameras are capable of detecting unauthorized intrusions by identifying body heat signatures, even in complete darkness or adverse weather conditions. This is not limited to intruders with malicious intent (i.e., theft or sabotage) but also trespassers such as kids or teenagers who enter your substation out of curiosity or simply not knowing any better. These trespassers otherwise risk being killed or seriously injured among the high-voltage equipment.
