50% discount on the HIKMICRO AI56L Acoustic Imaging Camera

Detect compressed air and gas leaks faster than ever with the HIKMICRO AI56L Acoustic Imaging Camera. Thanks to advanced acoustic imaging technology, you locate leaks in seconds, even in complex industrial facilities.

Why leak detection is so important

Compressed air leaks are among the biggest hidden energy losses in industrial plants. In many factories, 20 to 30% of the compressed air produced is lost due to leaks.

By quickly detecting and fixing leaks, companies can:

  • Drastically reduce energy costs
  • Reduce downtime and maintenance through rapid detection of gas and compressed air leaks
  • Making plants operate more efficiently thanks to greatly reduced inspection time
  • CO₂ emissions reduction

HIKMICRO AI56L: fast and visual leak detection

The AI56L acoustic imaging camera uses an array of microphones to detect ultrasonic sounds of leaks and convert them directly into a visual image on the screen.

This allows a technician:

  • Locating leaks faster
  • Inspecting large facilities more efficiently
  • Plan maintenance more effectively

Smart Try - exceptional introductory offer

To introduce companies to this innovative technology, HIKMICRO is launching the Smart Try promotion, in which you temporarily 50% discount receives on the AI56L.

Promotion conditions

  • Model: HIKMICRO AI56L
  • 50% discount
  • Promotion period: 15 March - 30 June
  • Valid for project applications and registered opportunities

Applications

The HIKMICRO AI56L is widely used for inspections of:

  • Compressed air systems
  • Industrial gas systems
  • Production facilities
  • Energy and utilities

Seminar - Fluke and the energy transition 2

LHM-Ebanners-Fluke-Seminar20257

Curious about what solutions Fluke has to offer regarding the energy transition?

Following an earlier seminar on Fluke and the energy transition, in this half-day seminar we will take a closer look at measuring itself. What should voltage quality meet, how do we gain insight into energy losses and what do the signals look like around current loads and power sources.

The energy transition is in full swing and the big challenges are clear. Energy costs combined with grid congestion are a big headache for entrepreneurial Belgium.

In addition, energy-saving measures, newly emerged -and even mandatory- systems for additional ‘dynamism’ concerns on the electric grid. What does that actually look like? What needs to be met? And how do we get all this insight? What, why and how do we measure all this is what this seminar is about.
