Predictive Maintenance Through Thermographic Analysis: Case Study in a Manaus Industrial Pole Company

Abstract

Due to the high demand for electricity in the manufacturing industry, companies to obtain greater profitability on their produced goods, seek and adopt ways to reduce energy consumption, and use predictive maintenance as a tool by applying thermography. Thus, the purpose of the research is to show the importance of thermographic analysis for assessing losses and preserving the safety of the company's physical facilities. The research is descriptive, qualitative and case study. The instrument used for data collection were direct observation and document analysis. In this context, the results obtained were the mapping in the manufacturing facilities and the identification of some failures in the company's electrical system. After this data collection process, it was possible to analyze and plan the corrective actions. In conclusion, it is possible to reduce manufacturing costs through predictive maintenance through the thermographic analysis tool, positively impacting the company's financial results.
