Case studies

A leading automotive manufacturer in Bangalore needed a simple way to monitor overheating on SMPS output power cables where no sensors were installed. By adding Safe-Connect thermal clips, the facility gained a clear visual indication of abnormal heat caused by overloading, allowing maintenance teams to identify risk earlier and take action before circuit protection devices tripped.

In densely populated urban areas of northern India, transformer inspections often require either opening energized panels or shutting down equipment, creating safety risks and service disruption. This case study shows how an electrical distribution company used IRISS 4-inch CAP-ENV Series infrared inspection windows to enable closed-panel inspection of HV-side busbar joints, improve worker safety, maintain reliable power delivery, and support the broader move toward condition-based monitoring and data-driven asset management.

In this article, we look at how LV Power Solutions incorporated IRISS VPT-75 infrared windows into new switchgear for an NHS facility, making it possible to inspect critical electrical components safely without opening energized enclosures. The case study shows how designing inspection access into equipment from the start can improve safety, support long-term reliability, and make maintenance more practical in environments where performance cannot be compromised.

This case study explores how c2c Railway Limited improved electrical safety and maintenance efficiency by implementing a simple, passive monitoring solution. You’ll learn how continuous visual feedback helped reduce intrusive inspections and strengthen maintenance reliability.

After years of inconclusive diagnostics, Jindal partnered with IRISS to perform an advanced motion amplification analysis. Within a single visit, the root cause—poor foundation contact and degraded rubber beading—was identified, allowing the plant to move forward with targeted corrective actions.

A leading UK automotive manufacturer faced a wake-up call when an arc flash incident exposed critical vulnerabilities in its electrical infrastructure. With production demands at an all-time high, unplanned downtime was not an option. To enhance arc flash prevention and improve safety, the company implemented IRISS infrared windows and ultrasound ports, transforming its maintenance strategy. These solutions enabled safer, more efficient inspections without the need to open energized panels.

With relentless heat, high humidity, and frequent dust storms, Saudi Arabia’s electrical infrastructure faces immense challenges. Aging 13.8 kV utility equipment required a safer, more effective inspection strategy to prevent failures and arc flash incidents. Partnering with IRISS, Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) deployed CAP-ENV-12-PD infrared and ultrasound electrical inspection systems, enabling non-intrusive, real-time condition monitoring.

Infrared inspection windows for mining are essential for ensuring safety and reliability in high-voltage environments, especially in demanding conditions like phosphate mining. A major U.S. mining operation faced challenges inspecting its 4,160V motor/pump systems safely and needed a durable, compliant, and maintenance-friendly solution. Partnering with Central Florida Substation Services, the mine implemented IRISS CAP-ENV Series infrared inspection windows, allowing for closed-panel thermal inspections that enhance safety and enable more efficient condition-based monitoring.

One of our distribution partners was approached by a client who relocated into a new purpose-built manufacturing facility.

One of North America‘s leading bottled water companies approached IRISS for assistance in optimizing their asset life cycles.

Infrared thermography is a widely accepted preventive maintenance technology both for land-based facilities as well as maritime applications.

Forces of Globalization encourage virtually all industries to remain competitive through innovation and a quest for efficiency and reliability.
