What Thermal Imaging Adds: Unique Value for Field & Industrial Work
The inclusion of a built‑in thermal sensor distinguishes XP Pro Thermal from standard rugged smartphones. This opens a suite of applications and efficiencies in professional contexts.
- On-the-spot Thermal Diagnostics — FLIR Lepton 3.5 sensor with MSX enhancement enables detection of heat anomalies, insulation failures, overheating components or hidden leaks.
- Efficient Inspection Workflows — Reduces gear bulk, lowers risk of equipment loss or damage, and speeds up inspection routines.
- Adaptable Use in Harsh Environments — Retains full rugged certification even in rain, dust, vibration or extreme temperatures.
- Fast Data Capture & Sharing — Mobile connectivity allows thermal data to be shared in real time.
- Field-Ready Controls — PTT, SOS, and thermal capture buttons accessible with gloves or PPE.
- Cost & Space Efficiency — Reduces need for separate thermal cameras and smartphones.
