We consider Industrial applications as those requiring measuring temperature. They may include single point measurements as well as temperature measurements over an entire image.
Thermal data may be used to control manufacturing processes or to evaluate electrical/electronic designs for potential reliability problems. Thermal measurements can be useful in predictive maintenance where elevated temperatures can be early indicators of future problems.
Application areas include:
Design
Thermal management in electronic product design.
Reliability Engineering
Component thermal performance
Passive components- Resistors, Capacitors, Relays, etc.
IC packaging
Hybrid circuits
Enclosure cooling effectiveness
Manufacturing
Manufacturing test
Quality Control
Troubleshooting
Process Control
Predictive Maintenance/Monitoring
Monitoring equipment for thermal indicators of potential failures.
