Thermal Imaging Takes the Temperature of New Applications
While thermal infrared imaging technology was once limited to defense and government-funded applications, it has become more mainstream over the past few decades. The growing awareness of the technology’s industrial benefits has primarily been driven by the increasing popularity of hand-held thermal cameras for maintenance and electrical troubleshooting. Then came the COVID-19 crisis last year, and with it an onslaught of thermal imaging solutions flooded the market. A variety of thermal...
