Turning Heat into Action: How ThermalSync is Shaping Thermography Workflows

Thermography has long promised early fault detection across electrical and mechanical systems. It’s fast, non-invasive, and ideal for catching problems before they turn into failures. But the real issue has never been the camera, it’s been the workflow. Too often, thermographic images end up scattered across folders, buried in static reports, and disconnected from maintenance systems. The result is slow response times and missed opportunities for reliability improvement.

ThermalSync changes that by turning infrared images into asset-level, actionable maintenance intelligence.

Why Thermography Stalls in Practice

Infrared imaging is one of the most effective tools for identifying electrical and mechanical problems before they cause downtime. Loose connections, overloaded conductors, or failing bearings all reveal themselves through temperature anomalies that cameras can detect instantly.

The problem is what happens after capture. Images are manually sorted, labeled, and dropped into static PDFs that take days or weeks to reach maintenance. By the time action is taken, conditions may have changed. ThermalSync fixes this by reframing thermography around assets and corrective actions instead of images and reports.

How ThermalSync Works

ThermalSync is built around an asset-first data model. Every image, temperature reading, and annotation connects directly to a specific asset and component. This structure creates full traceability, making it easy to trend issues over time and link findings to real-world reliability data.

Uploading is simple. Inspectors can dump all images from an inspection directly into the platform, and ThermalSync automatically organizes them by asset. There’s no manual sorting or renaming just clean, ready-to-analyze data.

Scheduling is equally flexible. Inspections aren’t limited to fixed routes or specific days. Teams can capture thermal data whenever assets are operating, and the platform intelligently aligns and tracks those captures across systems.

And instead of waiting for static reports, results appear in real time. Exceptions and anomalies are visible immediately, and users can manage corrective actions right inside the platform or push them into their CMMS for work order generation.

Behind it all, built-in AI analyzes thermal data in the context of each asset, filtering out healthy components and surfacing genuine issues that need attention.

Built for Collaboration and Integration

ThermalSync supports both in-house and third-party workflows. Teams can handle inspections internally or collaborate with service providers for analysis and maintenance while maintaining consistent standards and visibility.

It’s also designed for integration. Through a REST API, ThermalSync connects seamlessly to CMMS and ERP systems, ensuring that findings translate directly into work... not paperwork.

NFPA 70B Compliance Made Practical

With the latest NFPA 70B standards requiring annual thermographic inspections for electrical assets under load, ThermalSync gives organizations a smarter way to comply. It enables in-house teams to perform inspections safely and effectively, capturing operating conditions and maintaining audit-ready records.

Electricians can open panels, record thermal data, and document load conditions without doubling labor with outside contractors. Inspections can be performed under normal operations rather than in one-day bursts, and all results remain centrally organized for easy reporting to insurers or auditors.

Getting Started

Getting started with ThermalSync is straightforward. The platform manages images, auto-sorts them by asset, assists with AI-based fault detection, and tracks inspection coverage across systems. During initial setup, users capture asset details, operating conditions, and baseline measurements to make future inspections faster and more meaningful.
