Thermal Monitoring & Inspection Modules

Thermal imaging payloads and analytics software that find what the eye can't — pollution sources, overheating equipment, and hidden structural problems.

Overview

See Heat. Find the Source.

Many problems show up as heat before they show up anywhere else: effluent entering a river, a failing electrical joint, a leaking pipeline, or a smouldering fire. Our thermal monitoring and inspection modules pair aerial thermal imaging with image-analysis software that flags these anomalies and maps them to precise locations.

The modules power Netra, our river monitoring service, and can be configured for industrial inspection on our drone platforms or integrated with existing fleets through our contract R&D services.

How It Works

From Survey Flight to Actionable Report

  1. STEP 01

    Survey Flight

    A scheduled or on-demand flight covers the river stretch, plant, or asset.

  2. STEP 02

    Thermal Capture

    The payload records thermal and optical imagery of the whole area.

  3. STEP 03

    Anomaly Detection

    Onboard analytics flag outfalls, hotspots, and heat-loss patterns.

  4. STEP 04

    Geo-Tag & Map

    Each anomaly is pinned to a location so field teams go straight to it.

  5. STEP 05

    Trend Report

    Repeat scans build a site history and compliance-ready reports.

Module Capabilities

What the Modules Detect

Pollutant Inlet Detection

Identifies inlets and outfalls injecting pollutants into rivers and canals by their thermal signature, and traces them to the source.

Industrial Discharge Monitoring

Detects temperature anomalies from industrial effluent and hidden discharge points to support environmental compliance.

Equipment & Structural Inspection

Finds hotspots in solar panels, power infrastructure, and pipelines, and reveals heat-loss or structural anomalies.

Geo-Tagged Real-Time Mapping

Every anomaly is pinned to a map location so field teams can go straight to the problem.

Trend Analysis & Reports

Regular scans build a history of each site, turning individual flights into actionable reports.

Onboard Edge Processing

Anomaly detection runs on the drone, so results are available even where internet connectivity is unreliable.
