Industrial manufacturing has diverse applications for acoustic imaging. Sorama’s acoustic cameras make leak inspection, partial discharge detection, and mechanical anomaly detection safer, more effective, and efficient across various sectors.
Our extensive range of acoustic cameras covers all aspects of acoustic monitoring in diverse industrial environments. From product design with the CAM64 and CAM1K to production monitoring with the CAM iV64s, and L642, and ensuring safety and sustainability in Ex-zones with the CAM iV64Ex and L642Ex, our solutions provide complete support for your operational needs.
In a manufacturing environment, undetected leaks and mechanical anomalies can lead to operational disruptions, safety hazards, and increased costs. For industries like automotive, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and many others, the consequences of overlooked issues can be detrimental, affecting productivity and profitability.
That’s where acoustic cameras come in. By providing a clear visual representation of sound, these devices allow for effective monitoring of industrial assets, ensuring that potential problems are identified and addressed promptly.
The Sorama CAM iV64Ex and L642Ex acoustic cameras are designed for use in hazardous zones (ATEX & IECEx certification pending). The CAM iV64Ex is a handheld device for in-field measurements in hazardous areas, reducing the time operators spend in risky environments. The L642Ex, suitable for fixed monitoring and integration into robotic platforms, enables autonomous inspections. These solutions ensure safety and compliance while effectively detecting and monitoring potential hazards.
Sorama’s acoustic cameras can be utilized across a wide range of industrial applications beyond hazardous zones. Industries including automotive (e.g., tire manufacturers), food and beverage, energy, water treatment, pharmaceuticals, and others can all benefit from acoustic cameras. Whether monitoring air leaks in production lines, detecting anomalies in high-voltage equipment, or ensuring safety and efficiency in operational processes, these cameras provide actionable insights.
Whether performing routine inspections as part of a predictive maintenance plan or conducting targeted measurements, acoustic imaging is an ideal solution for the manufacturing industry. Both the monitoring sensor and handheld devices contain 64 microphones that capture incoming sound waves. Together, they detect, locate, and visualize leaks using an integrated HD camera, providing operators and maintenance staff with a real-time image of gas and air leaks, partial discharges, and mechanical anomalies. This speeds up repair time and reduces unnecessary losses, contributing to operational efficiency.
Acoustic cameras operate effectively in various environments, from noisy production floors to windy outdoor areas. Simply point and shoot the camera’s sensor head at the testing area, and leaks are instantly visualized on the 7-inch touch screen. With the press of a button, a snapshot can be captured and shared with repair crews or integrated into your maintenance management system.
Predictive maintenance with acoustic inspection offers essential advantages for sustainability, safety, and operational efficiency in manufacturing. Through early detection of potential issues, acoustic cameras streamline maintenance and keep operations running smoothly. The benefits of acoustic inspection in manufacturing include:
1. Resource conservation and cost savings:
Early leak detection prevents unnecessary resource losses, reduces inspection time, and avoids costly repairs and fines.
2. Improved equipment reliability and longevity:
Acoustic cameras catch mechanical issues and gas leaks early, extending the lifespan of machinery and supporting operational reliability.
3. Enhanced operational efficiency:
Keeping machinery at peak performance minimizes downtime and ensures production targets are consistently met.
4. Greater safety:
Acoustic cameras enable safe, remote leak detection, minimizing the need for technicians to enter hazardous areas.
5. Optimized production capacity:
Addressing leaks promptly ensures the production system runs at full capacity, reducing the risk of prematurely needing increased capacity due to undetected emissions.
6. Increased sustainability:
Detecting leaks early, especially methane emissions, helps reduce environmental impact and supports compliance with regulations.
7. High performance in diverse environments:
Acoustic cameras work effectively in noisy or variable conditions, accurately pinpointing leaks by isolating specific sound frequencies.
Our sound imaging technology offers versatile solutions through fixed, handheld, and autonomous inspection devices, each designed to meet unique industrial needs. For continuous, 24/7 monitoring in remote or hard-to-reach locations, the L642 family excels, providing seamless integration with the online Listener platform for real-time, actionable insights to maintain and improve site health. For autonomous inspection, the L642 can be integrated into robotic platforms, enabling fully automated monitoring across factories, production sites, and other demanding environments.
The Sorama CAM iV64s, optimized for handheld inspections, combines a comfortable grip and intuitive interface, allowing easy operation even with gloves. Designed for efficiency in fast-paced industrial environments, its lightweight build and ergonomic design reduce operator fatigue during extended use, making it ideal for quick, thorough assessments across various systems.
Investing in Sorama’s acoustic cameras enhances the safety and efficiency of manufacturing processes while aligning with sustainability goals. With the ability to detect leaks (discover more on our blog about how to effectively detect gas leaks) and anomalies across various environments—be it in hazardous zones or other industrial sites—our technology supports industries in minimizing risks and optimizing operations.
Embrace the power of acoustic imaging to transform your maintenance strategies, enhance operational efficiency, and contribute to a safer, more sustainable future in manufacturing.
The Sorama L642 is a fixed acoustic monitoring system for continuous noise and sound source analysis in industrial and environmental settings. The Sorama L642Ex (ATEX-certification pending) provides the same advanced capabilities in Ex-zones for safe leak detection, partial discharge, and mechanical monitoring.
The Sorama CAM iV64s is a handheld acoustic camera designed for mobile inspections of gas and air leaks, as well as mechanical diagnostics, detecting both audible and ultrasonic frequencies. In Ex zones, the Sorama CAM iV64Ex (ATEX-certification pending) delivers precise detection and visualization for enhanced safety and predictive maintenance.
