AI-driven thermal cameras
21/09/2026
Ensuring grid reliability while minimising downtime is a critical challenge for modern utilities. Traditional thermal inspections, while effective, rely heavily on manual interpretation, making them time-consuming, subjective and prone to missed insights.
To solve this, Flir has partnered with Prasanna Technologies to combine its industry-leading iXX-Series thermal cameras with Styra, an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered analytics platform. The integration creates a smarter, faster approach to asset health monitoring, transforming raw thermal data into real-time, actionable intelligence.
The Flir + Styra solution addresses the most common friction points in traditional utility maintenance workflows. Advanced AI eliminates guesswork by automatically detecting anomalies and scoring them by severity, helping teams prioritise critical risks over minor deviations. A geospatial, map-based interface provides a ‘single pane of glass’ view across substations, transmission lines and distributed infrastructure.
The platform replaces slow, manual data entry by generating standardised, audit-ready compliance reports in seconds and intelligent filtering reduces noise so field crews can focus exclusively on high-risk issues before failures happen.
Built for scale with global support and field-ready mobile access, this integrated platform allows decision-makers and field technicians to collaborate seamlessly from anywhere.
