Problem The Hidden Danger in Battery Storage Rooms A recent overheating incident in the facility’s VRLA battery charging area forced a temporary shutdown and revealed a serious gap in how heat was being monitored. There was no fire, but the event showed that basic sensors were not enough to detect early temperature changes before [...]
See beyond the flames with precision engineered for extreme heat Measuring what happens inside a furnace or kiln has always been one of industry’s greatest challenges. The environment is punishing temperatures can exceed a thousand degrees, flames and gases distort readings, and heat radiation floods every sensor’s view. For engineers who need precise [...]
Problem Trapped Heat and Laundry Residue Raise Fire Risks At an industrial laundry facility, linens containing oils, fats, or other reactive contaminants often generated excess heat during washing and drying. When damp or soiled laundry was left stacked together, trapped heat occasionally led to spontaneous combustion. Lint buildup and high dryer temperatures created even [...]
Problem Waste Storage Fire Risks Demand Faster Detection At MarBorg Recovery, managing waste safely meant constantly facing the risk of fire. Lithium-ion batteries and other materials could ignite without warning. Even with an extensive sprinkler system, by the time a fire reaches it, it’s often too late to stop. Moreover, in a facility filled [...]
Problem Paper Dryer Heat Risks Demand Better Prevention When MarBorg Recovery installed a new paper dryer system, the team encountered unexpected challenges. Because the equipment was new in the United States, no one fully understood how it would behave or how much heat it could generate during operation. Paper dryers can experience heat buildup [...]
Problem The Hidden Risk Inside Every Fuel Pile At a renewable energy facility, large piles of biomass fuel stored for combustion created a constant fire hazard. Spontaneous heating and smoldering could occur deep inside the piles, invisible to the human eye. Routine patrols and fire watches were labor intensive, inconsistent, and often caught [...]
The Power of Infrared NDT in Composite Inspection In industries like aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy, composite materials have become essential. They are strong, lightweight, and corrosion-resistant, making them ideal for high-performance applications. However, their complex structure also makes them difficult to inspect. Traditional testing methods cannot always detect subsurface flaws, and physical [...]
Smarter control starts with precision Precision That Keeps Production Moving In high-speed bottling environments, even the smallest defect can have major consequences. A poorly sealed cap can lead to product leaks, contamination, or compliance issues, especially in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, or beverage packaging. That’s why many manufacturers are turning to thermal imaging as [...]
You Don’t Need Another Integration Project. You Need a Solution. In the world of industrial automation, many companies try to build their own vision systems from scratch. It often starts with a simple goal: add cameras, gather data, and create better visibility into operations. But when thermal imaging enters the mix, things become [...]
How to Prevent Lithium Battery Fires and Detect Risks Early 1. Why Lithium Battery Fires Are a Growing Concern Lithium-ion batteries power many devices, including smartphones, laptops, electric vehicles, and solar energy storage systems. While they provide efficient and long-lasting power, they also pose serious fire risks. A lithium battery fire starts when a [...]
