| 45 Silver Fern Farms - Dargaville REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT Silver Fern Farms Dargaville plant has an unyielding focus on quality, health & safety and production. Thermography is all about non-destructive preventative diagnosis of potential failures to the electrical and mechanical equipment used by industrial and commercial businesses. It is about identifying and resolving issues before they reach a fault scenario that would otherwise result in lost production time or ire — and that is where Thermal Imaging Services shines. With branches in Christchurch and Auckland, Thermal Imaging Services looks after a diverse range of clients throughout the country. “A lot of the routine/scheduled visits that we do are either six-monthly or quarterly,” says Managing Director Brad Muir. “Our three main business avenues are commercial buildings, production facilities of all kinds and we do a lot of powerline transmission work for various companies both from the ground and using drones, and we do all the naval vessels.” Thermal Imaging Services was established in 1998 when the technology was just becoming commercially viable for private operators. With a mechanical and automotive electrical background Brad joined Thermal Imaging Services in 2012, buying the successful and innovative company in 2017. In 2016 Brad travelled to the United States where he obtained ITC Level 3 certi ication, the highest standard for thermal imaging available. “We use top of the line FLIR cameras Thermal Imaging delivers where we look for tell-tale signs of component failure in either electrical or mechanical systems at production facilities. Undetected and unresolved those failures can lead to costly production downtimes, or in a worst-case scenario a destructive ire. The aim is to detect the potential for fault and provide the business with recommendations for remedial action.” In addition to handheld thermal imaging cameras, the company has invested in drone thermal imaging technology. Custom designed, the drone has high accuracy radiometric thermal capabilities with high detail visual zoom cameras for powerline transmission, solar array and roo ing inspections in mind. Silver Fern Farms relationship with Thermal Imaging Services goes back to the early 2000s, engaging the company to thermally inspect the electrical distribution systems and the mechanical componentry of the critical parts in all their production facilities nationwide. Brad says Thermal Imaging Services success has been about building relationships and the desire to learn their clients’ plant, equipment and processes so that the best information can be given. “We’re there to be information providers and take pride in providing the most accurate and concise information to our clients, so that they can continue to do what they do best with full con idence in their plant and equipment.” PO Box 253, Kumeu Auckland, New Zealand brad@thermalimagingservices.net.nz 021 0231 5702 – North Island 021 373 532 – South Island Utilisingdataoutside thevisible spectrum for thebene it of our clients and their production facilities.
