The FIAT factory in Melfi produces 250,000 cars per year. FLIR thermal imaging cameras play an important part in the predictive maintenance program. Information obtained during thermal imaging surveys is used to predict electrical and mechanical faults so they can be fixed before breakdowns occur.

RAITECH Industrial Technologies is responsible for industrial maintenance, and its thermography specialist Aldo Alliata has added greater value to his thermographic inspections with FLIR's Meterlink connectivity solution. It consists of a Bluetooth connection between the thermal imaging camera and an Extech EX845 clamp meter.

Measurement data is automatically embedded in the corresponding radiometric thermal image. This functionality, says Alliata, improves the accuracy and speed of the thermal imaging inspections.
