The benefits of thermography are listed here:

1. Problems can be identified before failure. Usually there is plenty of time before it is critical to fix the component. This allows you to plan a convenient time to repair the item and avoid any catastrophic failure.
2. Improving safety is another benefit that using thermography will give you. Workers may be put in a dangerous position due to sudden and unexpected equipment failure. For example thermography can identify rollers that are seized in conveyor belts. These seized rollers can wear the belt so thin that it snaps. Workers may be harmed by the unexpected breakage of a conveyor belt.
3. Reduced outage costs. It is far cheaper to close down at a time selected by you then it is to have emergency downtime.
4. Reduced risk of expensive damage to plant and property, including potential damage due to fire.
5. Reduced insurance premiums. In some cases, insurance will not be granted until a thermographic survey is conducted.
6. Prevents energy wastage caused by resistance in the faults we identify, reducing the cost of energy.
7. Extension of Asset life leads to reduced replacement costs. For example, thermography can show early identification of worn bearings in a motor. The subsequent repair can prolong the life of the motor and reduce replacement costs.
8. Lower repair costs as Thermography will pinpoint where the problem is, meaning you are not wasting time repairing what does not need fixing.
