Instant, Accurate Readings with BriteSpot® Thermal Monitoring Solutions

9/20/2024

PowlSmart®️ Intelligent Devices work together to bring you broader insights into the system health of your power equipment so that you can make informed decisions about its upkeep. Moving from reactive maintenance and repair to condition-based maintenance requires the power of predictive monitoring. For example, with Powell’s BriteSpot® Thermal Monitoring installed on your electrical equipment, operators can check daily for hotspots and plan a maintenance schedule based on what is most cost-effective. Monitoring thermal conditions with infrared (IR) scans means that necessary maintenance may not be discovered until it has already taken a toll on equipment and productivity. Catching the warning signs early keeps your equipment from failing, saving you time and money. Additionally, Powell’s BriteSpot technology does not rely on repeat calibration for accuracy, making it ideal for inaccessible locations.

Integrating BriteSpot Thermal monitoring with a complete, intelligent plant network gives you the scope and real-time data you need to optimize your entire power system.
