Aerial Thermal Inspections for Utilities & Energy Infrastructure
Proprietary auto-tuning software delivers accurate thermal findings regardless of time of day or weather conditions — so your maintenance team can act with confidence.
Undetected Hot Spots Become Unplanned Outages
A single failed termination or overloaded conductor can take down a feeder, trip a substation, or shut down a production facility. Traditional thermal inspections are limited by ambient conditions — time of day, weather, and solar loading all introduce variables that lead to missed findings or false positives. The result: you either miss the problem, or your maintenance team chases issues that aren't there.
Thermal Inspections Powered by Proprietary Auto-Tuning Software
Lythix developed proprietary software that automatically adjusts thermal image calibration, compensating for environmental variables in real time. The result: consistent, accurate readings regardless of when we fly.
Unlike conventional thermal surveys that are subject to time-of-day and weather limitations, our auto-tuning process delivers actionable data from every inspection — not a report full of caveats about ambient conditions.
Real Findings from Real Inspections
Every image below was captured during a Lythix inspection. These are the kinds of issues we catch before they cause unscheduled downtime.
316°F Hot Fuses — Pre-Failure Condition
Multiple overheating connection points identified during routine flyover. Repair completed before any service interruption.
Circuit Breaker Thermal Analysis
Drone-mounted infrared camera detects internal temperature anomalies invisible to visual inspection alone.
Tank Battery Thermal Survey
Comprehensive thermal sweep of oil and gas surface facilities identifies heat anomalies across all vessels and equipment.
Visual Inspection by Line Inspectors
Every thermal inspection includes a complementary visual inspection — because some defects are visible to the eye, not just the camera.
Issues like these could be in your infrastructure right now.
