NEWS

Planck Vision Systems offers cutting-edge thermal imaging cameras designed to provide 24/7 monitoring capabilities, continuously collecting and analyzing data using advanced software that detects trends and anomalies. Whether it’s fixed mount or pan/tilt drive cameras, our technology can efficiently survey large areas of a substation, delivering crisp thermal images for comprehensive analysis.

Our cameras are strategically positioned to ensure they are always in the right place at the right time, effectively eliminating the potential for costly unexpected substation failures. This proactive approach addresses the industry challenge faced by power utilities: the need to enhance the reliability of electric power delivery while simultaneously reducing costs.

In response to this challenge, many utility companies are now adopting permanently installed fixed mount thermal imaging cameras as part of their predictive and preventative maintenance programs. By leveraging automated thermal imaging cameras integrated with innovative software, early warning monitoring systems can now provide critical data well before equipment failure occurs.

Recent events, such as the fire in a substation along the Jersey Shore, underscore the importance of proactive measures in maintaining the reliability of power supply. In Wildwood, where thousands endured a sweltering summer day without air conditioning due to the outage, efforts are underway to restore electricity to affected residents. While power has been restored for some, approximately 9,000 people still face a night without electricity, highlighting the urgent need for resilient infrastructure and advanced monitoring solutions.

As businesses on the usually vibrant Wildwood Boardwalk grapple with the blackout, Planck Vision Systems’ thermal imaging technology stands as a beacon of reliability and resilience. Despite the challenges posed by the outage, businesses like Hot Spot restaurant continue to serve customers, demonstrating the community’s determination to persevere.

Planck Vision Systems remains committed to providing cutting-edge solutions that empower power utilities to proactively address challenges and enhance the reliability of electric power delivery. Through continuous innovation and unwavering dedication, we strive to ensure that communities like Wildwood are better equipped to weather any adversity that may arise.
