EXAMPLES OF TOP WIRIS CAMERA APPLICATIONS

Thermodiagnosis of photovoltaic

power plants

The worldwide increased knowledge of the environment
UAV
and the risk of exhausting non-recoverable energy sources
is a reason that various methods of using alternative re-
sources have been sought.

Solar energy is an inexhaustible source which, thanks to
the programmes for the support of the construction of so-
lar power plants is most often used.

A fast, cheap and reliable method where it is possible to
check the quality of a large area of solar panels is ther-
modiagnostics using the Workswell WIRIS thermal imaging
system attached to the drone.

Pipeline inspection with thermal

diagnostics

Pipeline – this is defined as a “special form of transport
used to transport liquids (i.e. liquids and gases), or liquid
mixtures with solid particles”.
The issue of thermographic pipeline inspection applies
to long-distance piping systems supplying variable media
with a temperature different from the temperature of the
surrounding atmosphere.
By using thermographic systems, it is possible to deter-
mine and localize defects to pipeline insulation and leaks
of the transferred media. In some cases, leaks can even be
determined and localized in underground pipelines.

Thermodiagnostics of flat roofs

Flat roofs were originally built in areas with low rainfall.
For example, they can be found in the architecture. In the
modern era, the quality of insulation against atmospheric
conditions increased so flat roofs appeared on factory halls
as well as highly architecturally appreciated buildings.
The benefits of such roofs are that they save material, are
less labour intensive, provide the option of variable roof-
ing layouts and the potential use of roof areas. Thermal
imaging systems provide the perfect tool to evaluate the
technical condition.
The thermal imaging system located on the drone provides
a fast and economical solution for surveying wide roofs on
industrial sites.
