IrMonitor - Monitoring solutions with infrared cameras
IRMonitor is a universal software package for thermal monitoring that enables the use of several cameras and pan-&-tilt systems in one system, analysing the thermal images that are recorded.This means there is a variety of evaluation methods that can be adapted exactly in line with the particular application in hand. For example, it can be used to analyse the trend in temperature to enable early detection of fires or perform hotspots analyses to determine material weaknesses in reactor vessels.
Its modular set-up means that our engineers can adapt it in line with specific applications in a short space of time.
The IRMonitor system is designed as a multi-camera-device, essentially with an unlimited number of cameras and P&T heads possible. Typically, up to 12 cameras can be operated on one unit. In so doing, IrMonitor records the readings of all cameras and checks them using default settings. The user has various modules to hand for evaluation purposes. Evaluations are either performed for the image as a whole or for individual AOIs (areas of interest). To minimise the number of infrared cameras required in any one system, it is possible to operate on a pan-&-tilt unit. By doing this, a camera can control several positions, recording the relevant fields of vision in succession, with evaluation and analysis performed as outlined above. When the system is in operation, it is only necessary to set a monitoring cycle (monitoring positions and time sequences) once. All settings are stored and can be altered or adapted at any time in the future without much system know-how. IrMonitor has a convenient user interface that can be used to input all function and parameter settings quickly and with ease. The system architecture has also deliberately been kept open to enable flexible and simple integration with existing systems and units. This includes numerous open interfaces for data exchange and control commands (e.g. OPC server, macro engine for automatic processing of complex measurement and evaluation operations, ultra-modern Com/DCOM automation interface, OBC database interface). This means there is no problem hooking up to a process computer, an SPS or databases.
