NaviPdM® AI Inspection Assistant
Most crews capture good thermal and acoustic data. Fewer have a system for it. NaviPdM turns your FOTRIC camera surveys into a repeatable inspection program: planned routes, readings trended per asset, and the finished report built in one click.

The gap between a survey and a program
Thermal and acoustic cameras find problems. What happens after the trigger pull is where most inspection efforts fall apart.
01 Images sit in folders
Last quarter's scan of the same breaker is on someone's laptop. Without per-asset history, you can't see a connection heating up over time — only that it's hot today.
02 Results depend on who held the camera
Two techs walk the same substation and come back with different targets, different framing, different severity calls. Consistency is the hard part of any PM program.
03 The report eats the next day
An afternoon of scanning turns into a full day of sorting images, matching them to assets, and formatting the deliverable. That cost is why surveys get skipped.
How it works
NaviPdM runs on the camera and closes the loop from route planning to finished report.
Plan the route
Build inspection routes by substation, line, or panel schedule so every asset gets covered on every pass — nothing skipped, nothing scanned twice.
Capture
The camera identifies and locks onto the inspection target. Scan the asset's QR tag and the reading files itself to the right equipment record.
Diagnose
Delta-T comparisons between phases and components, severity ratings aligned to NFPA 70B®, and trend curves built from every prior visit.
Report
One click generates the Word or PDF report your manager or customer expects — findings, images, and severity already in place.
Watch it on a real panel:
QR asset registration through finished inspection, in about two minutes.
Runs on the FOTRIC cameras you already know
NaviPdM is built into FOTRIC's current thermal, acoustic, and combined imagers.
Thermal Imaging
P-Series · V-Series
Professional handheld thermal cameras for panel, MCC, and substation inspection rounds.
Acoustic Imaging
H-Series · H7 · H-Flex
Microphone-array imagers that locate partial discharge and compressed-air leaks at distance.
Thermal Imaging
V-MiX · P-MiX
Thermal and acoustic in one unit. One walk covers both failure modes.

What the AI actually does
Not a chatbot bolted onto a camera. Each function removes a manual step that causes missed or inconsistent findings.
Automatic target lock
Finds and holds the inspection target so framing doesn't depend on the operator.
QR asset identification
Scan a tag, and every image and reading files to that asset's record automatically.
Temperature trending
Tracks each asset's readings across visits, so a slow rise shows up before it becomes a failure.
Delta-T diagnostics
Compares like components under like load — the method that separates real faults from sun-heated steel.
NFPA 70B®-aligned severity
Findings rated against the standard your maintenance program already references.
One-click reporting
