Wildfires are becoming an increasing threat to utility infrastructure, particularly in remote and unmanned areas. Rising heat, drought, and winds are driving more frequent and severe events, especially in the Western U.S., making early detection and swift response essential. In this webinar, Jenifer Hones from FLIR and Steve Sinclair from Convergint discuss how utilities
Operations and engineering professionals in the utilities sector are increasingly challenged by fire risks, rising operational costs, and maintaining equipment reliability. In collaboration with FLIR, the Convergint Utilities team provides cutting-edge temperature-sensing solutions that leverage thermography, radiometrics, and AI-driven platforms. These advanced technologies support proactive maintenance, enhance safety, and optimize operational efficiency, helping utilities
Convergint, in partnership with FLIR, invites attendees to TechTalk Lives at GSX 2024. The event will take place at Convergint booth #2011 and will be streamed on LinkedIn Live and YouTube on Tuesday, September 24th, at 11:00 AM EST. FLIR will showcase how thermal cameras can enhance the protection of substations, perimeter areas, and interior assets. FLIR’s session
The electric utility industry relies on mission-critical equipment and facilities to ensure successful operations. Any equipment failure can result in a sizeable challenge. For example, a loose or hot electrical connection can lead to heat buildup which can in turn cause a circuit failure and power outage, resulting in system downtime, business disruption, and
Outdoor perimeter security systems provide the first layer of protection for mission-critical enterprises. Designed for 24/7 intrusion detection, these systems identify threats, track targets, and notify security personnel when intervention is needed. Perimeter intrusion detection systems (PIDS) are essential facets to the successful operation of critical infrastructure sites such as utilities, airports, data centers, and
New technology has flooded the market to help companies identify employees, customers, visitors, and contractors that might have an elevated skin temperature. Thermal cameras are being repurposed for other use cases, infrared sensors are tied to tablets with facial recognition, and large lobby kiosks are doing everything from thermal imagining to denying access
As companies start to plan for re-entry to the workplace, many are considering a scalable and quick way to screen employees, visitors, and contractors before entry. Thermal imaging cameras are being examined as a way to do this, but there is still a lot that is misunderstood about the screening capabilities. Below, Convergint's Doug
It is clear the COVID-19 global health crisis will forever change our global workforce, both in terms of the way we manage brick and mortar locations as well as human capital. One of the most complex normalizations of our lifetime will be labor forces returning to non-remote work once the peak of the pandemic
Companies are interested in a quick and scalable way to screen employees, visitors, and contractors for an elevated temperature (above 100.4°F) as they enter facilities. Thermal imaging cameras are being considered by companies as a return-to-work strategy or a way to maintain productivity for critical personal. Convergint's Advanced Solutions Team has conducted
