Testo has developed SiteRecognition technology to automatically recognize measurement sites and correctly archive thermal images. This allows inspection tours to be conducted efficiently by eliminating the need for complex labeling and sorting of images after the fact. SiteRecognition works by identifying markers placed on measurement objects during imaging. It then handles recognition, storage, and management of the thermal images, making it easy to retrieve and analyze images from the correct measurement sites over time. This improves maintenance by preventing incorrect diagnosis that could result from images being allocated to the wrong objects.

Thermography with SiteRecognition
technology for efficient maintenance
Allocate your images yourself, or have the imager
do it for you – you have the choice.
Many similar measurement objects mean many similar
thermal images. Previously, in order to be able to allocate
the measurements clearly to the different measurement
sites, users needed to keep complex lists, or add a voice
comment to each individual thermal image. A patent-
pending Testo innovation now solves these problems:
with Testo SiteRecognition technology, measurement
sites are automatically recognised and the resulting
thermal images correctly archived. This allows periodical
inspection tours to be conducted efficiently.

The application
Can’t see the woods for the trees?
The thermography of many similar measurement objects, and in
particular the correct archiving of the recorded thermal images is a
significant challenge in industrial maintenance. The direct allocation of
the images on site is important. Because if the images are not allocated
until after the completed inspection tour, it can easily happen that an
image is allocated to the wrong measurement object. In such
circumstances, machines can be diagnosed with thermal irregularities
which in fact belong to other objects.
The problem becomes even more complex when temperature
developments need to be traced over several periods: If the images are
incorrectly allocated, error diagnoses are made more difficult, or even
impossible.
The solution
More efficiency and security in allocation.
The SiteRecognition technology of testo 885 and testo 890 saves time Incorrectly allocated images become a thing of the past. Valuable work
