Thermal scan · from $850 + $30/ha

See the faultbefore it fails.

Radiometric thermal capture across roofs, switchboards, solar arrays and process plant. Every pixel carries a temperature, so you are measuring, not guessing from a colour.

Illustration of a radiometric deliverable. Not a captured scan.

What this actually is

A picture of heat is not the same as a measurement.

Plenty of operators will sell you a thermal video. What you need for a report that stands up is radiometric data, where every pixel holds a temperature value you can interrogate afterwards. That is what gets delivered here.

It means an engineer can open the file six months later, click any point on the image and read the temperature at the moment of capture. A screen recording of an orange blob cannot do that.

Thermal scan output, an array with cell-level faults marked

An Order Studio thermal scan quoted over 358.9 hectares at Port Kembla, New South Wales, at $11,622

Real order: a 358.9 hectare thermal scan over Port Kembla, priced live at $11,622. Area, altitude, overlap, image count and flight time are all shown before you commit.

What a radiometric thermal deliverable actually looks like when you open it.

What people order it for

Where this earns its money.

Solar farms

Cell-level hot spots, string failures, diode faults and soiling across an array in a single pass.

Electrical assets

Switchboards, transformers, joints and terminations, surveyed live and without a shutdown.

Building envelope

Missing insulation, trapped moisture and membrane failure on roofs that nobody wants to walk.

Deliverables

What lands in your portal.

  • Radiometric R-JPEG every pixel carries a temperature you can query later
  • Matched visual imagery so a hot spot can be tied to a physical component
  • Annotated findings each anomaly marked with its measured delta
  • Raw files retained and delivered, not just a report

Everything comes back into your enterprise portal. Already paying for ESRI, Bentley, DroneDeploy or Pix4D? Tell us at the point of ordering and it goes straight there instead. Raw data is retained on Aerologix servers either way, so you can come back for it.

Being straight with you

Where this is the wrong product.

Every supplier will tell you what their product does. Fewer will tell you what it does not, which is usually the more useful half.

Thermal shows symptoms, not causes

A hot joint tells you something is wrong. It does not tell you why. Pair it with a sparky, not instead of one.

Conditions matter more than the drone

Rain, high wind, wet surfaces and heavy cloud all degrade the result. We will move the flight rather than deliver something misleading.

Glass and shiny metal lie

Reflective surfaces bounce heat from elsewhere. Highly polished assets need a ground crew to interpret.

Not a substitute for a compliance inspection

Useful evidence within one. Not the whole thing.

Questions

The things people actually ask.

Is the thermal data radiometric?

Yes. You receive R-JPEG files where every pixel holds a temperature value, so the data can be re-analysed later in any radiometric viewer. You are not receiving a colourised video.

What sensitivity does the sensor have?

The sensor class used carries a NETD of 50 mK or better, meaning it resolves temperature differences of five hundredths of a degree. Confirm the exact payload for your job at the point of ordering.

Can you fly a live electrical asset?

Yes, and that is usually the point. Thermal from the air lets you survey energised equipment without a shutdown and without putting anyone on a ladder.

When is the best time to fly?

Usually dawn or dusk for building envelopes, and after several hours of solar loading for arrays and electrical assets. We will tell you rather than just turning up.
