Is it getting hot in here?  It might not be global warming, but as you walk through your facility you might notice your air handlers working harder to maintain temperature and humidity.  Why is that?  You haven’t added more equipment or people.  The doors aren’t opening that much more.

The answer is your motors are craving attention.  Bearings could be wearing out, motor windings could be heating up, or wiring connections could be lose.  These conditions are not apparent just by walking by the equipment.  How hot is hot?  What is the exact point where one surface or wire is hotter than the other?  Where is there a heat sink?

The old saying a “picture is worth a thousand words” can be restated “a thermographic image program can save a pot-full of money in the long run”.  With a baseline and ongoing thermographic data Maintenance Managers can prioritize work, budget for repairs, schedule repairs, and minimize downtime.

It is easier for a Maintenance Manager; and his family, to do scheduled work as opposed to being called in at 3 am when the supply houses are closed.  Maintenance Manager sounds better than Reaction Manager.
