Computerized Thermal Imaging


Computerized thermal imaging is an indispensible tool in many industries. Support for Raytek thermal imaging line scanners allows data to be captured directly by Prodigy industrial automation software.

Thermal Imaging Line Scanner Interface

  • False colour thermal image
  • "Waterfall" display
  • Scan profile
  • Single point profile
  • Zone alarms
  • Min/Max/Average tracking
  • Multiple scanner configurations
  • Save/Replay scanned thermal images
  • Autosave facility, based on trigger signals
  • Pre-trigger history and post-trigger run on
  • Connect up to 10 Raytek thermal imaging line scanner cameras
Real time computerized thermal imaging provides a rapid, intuitive understanding of dynamic thermal conditions and clues to the underlying causes. It can instantly identify both unexpected temperature events and developing conditions including temperature decay, ramping, and thermal propagation across surfaces.

Prodigy software based SCADA systems have been used in conjunction with fixed position thermal imaging cameras for various applications. They are ideal for continuous scanning across production lines to identify temperature related anomolies.

Typical industries where computerized thermal imaging is used include food, glass, metals and plastics manufacturing. Industrial applications include continuous sheet and web-based processes, discrete manufacturing processes, and rotating kilns. Capabilities include full product scanning, across conveyor or decks, web profile measurements of temperature, for hot spot detection, and moisture monitoring.

Thermal images from up to ten Raytek line scanners can be combined with related process measurements on a single PC based system for full colour thermographic data recording. Display formats include thermal image, thermal profile, 3D waterfall and sector trending. Facilites include rolling buffer snapshot, zone/sector alarms, configuration recipes and history review.
