Explore how industrial thermal imaging is helping plants improve process optimisation, monitoring, safety and energy efficiency, with expert insight from LAND’s Manfred Hayk, in the February 2026 edition of Operations Engineer Magazine.

Operations Engineer Magazine | February 2026“Although there’s an ongoing shortage of skilled professionals in the thermography sector (more on that later), the application of industrial thermal imaging is more popular and widespread than ever before.

Assessing the current situation, Manfred Hayk, technical product and application support manager at LAND, a business of AMETEK Inc, says: “Based on the latest thermal imaging detectors with high image resolution, fast response times and improved sensitivity, thermal imaging systems are increasingly being used in industrial applications.”

He adds: “These are now routinely integrated into measurement systems that enable data analysis and processing of measurement data from so-called ‘thermograms’ using software tools optimised for process control, such as LAND’s ImagePro software.”

Hayk also cites another growing trend of temperature measurement data from thermal imagers being provided for remote process monitoring via open digital and analogue interface structures to process control systems and higher level databases.
