Typically, thermal imaging has been a specialized process, requiring
stand-alone or handheld systems. This system enables real-time thermal
images to be displayed on HMI screens in the control room, integrated
with process displays, so operators can see what is happening in a
process or on an assembly line. This enhancement expands process
monitoring, maintenance and diagnostics because the thermal images
allow operators to see product/utility leaks, imperfections and other
anomalies. The video engine continuously records images from multiple
thermal and standard video cameras onto a local disk for up to 30 days,
and sends “video clips” over the plant network to a Video Control
Center (VCC) in the plant’s control room. Thermal images can be
displayed side by side with video images on the same screen.Longwatch Inc.www.longwatch.com781.255.7400
