The 90-second scene
10:14 a.m., MCC lineup. Load is steady, production can’t pause, the arc-flash label says “serious.” Old habit: crack the door to “get a better shot.” New habit: you don’t open anything. You kneel to the IR window, lock the camera recipe, and take the same view you took last month. The image pops: one lug is 24 °C hotter than its twin at the same load. Work order now; re-scan hot after torque. Fifteen minutes later, the delta is 11 °C. You just turned risk into a measurement.
Principle: Scan through IR windows at known load with fixed camera settings and compare like-to-like; act on ΔT—not color.
