Adding The Forth Dimension: Game Changing Thermal Profiling Technology from iRaptor Founder Vitor Barros

EMS@C-LEVEL · 7 Nov 2024 · 4m

What this episode covers

Vitor Barros, founder of iRaptor, introduces the company's 4D profiler, a device that maps temperature and vibration to monitor production equipment. He explains how measuring vibration alongside thermal profiles allows manufacturers to detect subtle machinery issues, such as fan vibrations, before they cause quality defects or equipment failure. Barros highlights the product's universal applicability across various factory assets and its strategic partnership with Quiptech to expand into the Mexican market.
