Award-Winning Safety in Action: How Remote Thermal Monitoring Earned a National Innovation Prize

This post celebrates when Ryan Severe of Puget Sound Energy (PSE) won the 2025 Green Cross for Safety Innovation Award from the National Safety Council thanks to his bold use of SYTIS’ TC-90™ bi-spectral camera system. By outfitting nacelles with continuous remote thermal monitoring, he unveiled hidden overheating, slashed dangerous tower climbs in half and enabled real-time diagnostics from the ground (or even a vehicle). The result: far fewer arc-flash and fire risks, better-informed maintenance crews and a major boost to safe, condition-based maintenance protocols that protect people, not just equipment.

Pixel-Perfect Safety: Why High-Resolution Infrared Cameras Make All the Difference

This article digs into how the SYTIS TC-90™ Bi-spectral Card Camera, with its top-tier thermal (256 × 192) and optical (1600 × 1200) resolution, reshapes what “thermal monitoring” can actually do in real-world infrastructure. High pixel count isn’t just about sharper images: it means tiny hot-spots (like a loosening screw or a stressed wire) become visible well before th...

When Inspectors Can’t See the Problem — Why Manual Solar-Farm Checks Often Fall Short

Solar farms are only as productive as their weakest panel; but when inspection relies on human eyes and footsteps, many problems slip through the cracks. This article exposes the hidden flaws of traditional manual inspections: slow coverage of sprawling arrays, missed micro-cracks and soiling, safety hazards for inspectors, weather-dependent scheduling and data you can’t...
