What continuous aisle-level thermal watch looks like inside your hall.
What goes wrong here.
Every sector fails in specific, nameable ways. These are the ones we scan for.
HVAC Failure
Aerial thermal imaging identifies failing compressors, blocked condensers, and refrigerant leaks across rooftop HVAC arrays. Pattern recognition flags units operating outside thermal envelopes weeks before total failure.
Roof Moisture Intrusion
Thermal differentials reveal trapped moisture beneath roofing membranes that visual inspection cannot detect. Post-sunset surveys map affected square footage for targeted repair before water reaches critical infrastructure below.
Electrical Hot Spots
External switchgear, transformers, and bus connections emit thermal signatures as connections degrade. Aerial surveys cover entire electrical infrastructure in minutes, with findings classified to NFPA 70B severity levels.
Liquid Cooling Infrastructure
As rack densities push beyond 40kW toward 140kW+ for AI workloads, liquid cooling brings new failure modes — micro-leaks at manifold connections, quick-disconnect fittings, and CDU piping. Aerial thermal imaging detects these anomalies across exterior cooling loops before a single leak becomes a cascade failure.
Membrane Degradation
High-resolution visual and thermal imaging identifies UV degradation, seam failures, and mechanical damage across roofing membranes. AI-generated heatmaps prioritize sections by remaining service life.
Equipment Overheating
Exterior thermal signatures from generators, UPS housings, and fuel systems reveal internal stress conditions. Trend analysis across autonomous missions tracks degradation velocity before emergency conditions develop.
What the scan finds.
- 01 Radiometric Thermal Mapping ±0.5°C Full rooftop arrays surveyed in a single pass with 0.5°C thermal sensitivity — precise enough to detect early-stage degradation. Units operating outside their thermal envelopes are flagged weeks before failure.
- 02 NFPA 70B Severity Classification NFPA 70B Electrical findings classified using NFPA 70B severity levels, giving your maintenance team a standards-based priority list. Deliverables also align with ASHRAE temperature monitoring guidelines.
- 03 48-Hour Intelligence Report 48 HR Georeferenced thermal and visual imagery, severity rankings, and recommended next steps delivered within 48 hours of the mission. Includes an executive summary suitable for leadership and insurance stakeholders.
- 04 Post-Sunset Moisture Surveys Thermal surveys after sunset exploit differential cooling rates between wet and dry insulation to find sub-surface moisture. Severity is classified and affected square footage mapped for targeted remediation.
- 05 Autonomous Thermal Trending UP TO 200 MISSIONS/MO A permanently stationed aerial platform conducts up to 200 scheduled missions per month from an on-site dock. Trend analysis detects degradation velocity over time — not just current state.
- 06 Zero-Disruption Operations All inspections are conducted externally — rooftops, perimeters, and mechanical equipment areas. No roof access, no IT coordination, no impact on interior operations.
One day of flight. Every hidden risk, ranked.
A typical data center campus is surveyed in a single day of aerial operations, with prioritized findings targeted within 48 hours.
Asked before engaging.
How long does a full facility assessment take?
A typical data center campus can be surveyed in a single day of aerial operations. The prioritized findings report includes severity rankings and recommended next steps. Turnaround depends on facility size and scope — contact us for specifics.
Do aerial operations disrupt data center operations?
No. All inspections are conducted externally — from rooftops, perimeters, and mechanical equipment areas. There is zero impact on interior operations, no roof access required, and no coordination needed with IT teams.
What compliance requirements do your inspections satisfy?
Our thermal inspections align with NFPA 70B electrical maintenance requirements, ASHRAE temperature monitoring guidelines, and support environmental compliance documentation. Each deliverable maps findings to relevant standards.
How does autonomous monitoring differ from a one-time assessment?
Autonomous monitoring uses a permanently stationed aerial platform with an on-site dock that conducts up to 200 scheduled missions per month. This enables thermal trend analysis over time — detecting degradation velocity, not just current state.
What is included in the findings report?
Every report includes georeferenced thermal and visual imagery, severity classifications, priority rankings, recommended next steps, and an executive summary suitable for leadership and insurance stakeholders.
How do you handle data security for sensitive facilities?
All data is encrypted in transit and at rest using AES-256 and TLS 1.3, with SOC 2 Type I preparation underway. Data is purged according to your retention policy, and we execute NDAs and security agreements before any engagement.
