Motors
Thermal Imaging can pick up overheating motor bearings and other mechanical equipment.
An annual thermal Imaging non destructive testing program reduced this plant's downtime to zero by picking up an overheated front bearing.

Gearboxes
Thermal Imaging can pick up overheating gearboxes preventing costly downtime.
Thermal Imaging used to predict a $75 dollar bearing failure saving the plant 250,000 in downtime.

Transformers or Static Machines
You cannot see the overheating transformer coils, but Thermal Imaging picked up these under-rated / overloaded transformers. All of the embedded temperature sensors had failed leading to fire danger, and costly downtime.
Thermal Imaging predicted early failure of this air cooled transformer, preventing lift failure in a high rise building.
