How often should an automotive facility get a thermal imaging inspection?
Most facilities benefit from at least an annual inspection, with high-load areas like robotic cells, paint booths, and welding stations often scanned more frequently given their continuous use.
Will this interrupt our production line?
No. Infrared thermography is performed on live, operating equipment — there's no need to stop the line for the scan.
Can this cover paint booths and curing ovens specifically?
Yes. We inspect the electrical systems supporting booth and oven operation, where heat, ventilation, and electrical equipment in close proximity raise both fire and failure risk.
What kind of issues does this typically catch on an automotive line?
Loose or corroded connections in motor control centres, overheating in robotic cell electrical systems, and unbalanced loads in conveyor and welding equipment — all of which generate heat before a full failure occurs.
Do you work with dealership service centres, or only manufacturing plants?
Both. We inspect service bay electrical, lifts, and diagnostic equipment at dealership service centres, in addition to assembly and parts manufacturing facilities.
How is this different from routine equipment maintenance?
Routine maintenance is typically scheduled component checks or replacement. Thermal imaging shows how equipment is performing under actual load in real time, catching problems before they show up as a failure.
Are your technicians experienced with automotive facility safety requirements?
Yes. IRIS PDM technicians are certified thermographers and ESA-certified electrical contractors with experience working safely in active industrial and automotive production environments.
Do you serve automotive facilities outside major cities?
Yes. IRIS PDM inspects automotive facilities across Ontario and Canada, with technicians available to travel to regional and remote sites.
