FLIR App Now Enabled in Egalvanic: A Faster, More Connected Way to Perform Infrared Inspections

Infrared inspections are one of the most valuable tools electrical contractors have for identifying potential equipment problems before they become failures.

But capturing the thermal image is only one part of the job.

The real challenge is making sure that image is connected to the correct asset, properly documented, easy to find later, and ultimately turned into something useful for the customer.

That’s why we’re excited to announce that Egalvanic is now FLIR App Enabled, bringing FLIR thermal imaging and Egalvanic’s electrical asset and maintenance workflows even closer together.

For contractors already performing infrared thermography or looking to build IR inspections into their electrical maintenance offering, the goal is simple:

Spend less time managing inspection data and more time delivering value to customers.

Bringing Thermal Imaging Into the Electrical Maintenance Workflow

FLIR thermal imaging technology allows technicians to identify abnormal heat patterns that may indicate loose connections, overloaded circuits, deteriorating components, load imbalances, or other developing electrical problems.

FLIR’s newest app-enabled iXX-Series cameras take that concept further by supporting applications directly within the camera environment. The cameras are designed around connected, app-driven inspection workflows that help teams capture consistent data and move information from the field into the systems where it can actually be used.

With Egalvanic now FLIR App Enabled, contractors can bring that same connected approach into their electrical maintenance programs.

Instead of treating infrared scanning as a standalone activity, thermal inspection information can become part of the ongoing history of the electrical asset.

Capture Once. Use the Data Everywhere.

One of the biggest problems with traditional infrared inspection workflows is what happens after the technician takes the image.

Images may need to be downloaded, renamed, organized, matched to equipment, entered into spreadsheets, added to reports, and eventually stored somewhere the next technician may or may not be able to find.

That creates unnecessary administrative work, and valuable equipment history can easily become fragmented.

Egalvanic is designed around a different approach.

Each electrical asset can maintain its own digital history, including inspection information, maintenance records, findings, images, and other asset-level data.

By incorporating FLIR-enabled workflows into that environment, contractors can create a more direct path from inspection → asset → finding → report → maintenance action.

The result is cleaner data and a much more useful record of what is actually happening with the equipment over time.

Faster IR Inspections in the Field

Speed matters when technicians are scanning hundreds or even thousands of electrical assets.

Egalvanic already helps contractors organize infrared inspection programs using asset records, QR codes, facility information, inspection routes, and online or offline field data collection.

FLIR App-enabled capabilities further support that field-first approach.

Instead of bouncing between disconnected tools and reconciling information later, technicians can follow a more structured digital inspection process.

That can mean:

• Less manual data entry and image organization

• Better association between thermal data and the correct electrical asset

• More consistent inspection workflows across technicians

• Faster movement of information from the field to the office

• Less time rebuilding reports after an inspection

• Better visibility into previous inspection and maintenance history

For contractors trying to scale their infrared services, eliminating even a few minutes of administrative work per asset can make a significant difference across a large facility.

Better Data Creates Better Maintenance Decisions

The value of infrared thermography increases dramatically when contractors can compare what they see today with what has happened in the past.

A thermal image by itself provides a snapshot.

A thermal image connected to an asset's ongoing maintenance history provides context.

Was this component running at a similar temperature six months ago?

Has the temperature differential increased?

Was a repair previously recommended?

Has the equipment experienced similar findings before?

When inspection data stays connected to the asset, contractors and facility teams can begin looking beyond individual inspection results and toward long-term equipment health.

That is where infrared thermography becomes an important part of a broader predictive and preventive electrical maintenance strategy.

From Finding a Problem to Showing the Customer Why It Matters

Infrared inspections can also create an important opportunity for contractors.

When a technician identifies an abnormal condition, the contractor isn't simply delivering an image. They're identifying a potential maintenance need.

Egalvanic helps contractors organize those findings into actionable information that can be documented, reported, tracked, and used to support future maintenance recommendations.

Instead of handing a customer a static IR report once a year, contractors can build an ongoing record of the customer's electrical system.

That changes the conversation from:

“Here is what we found during this inspection.”

to:

“Here is what has changed with this asset, what needs attention, and what we recommend doing next.”

For contractors expanding into recurring electrical maintenance programs, that distinction matters.

Supporting NFPA 70B Electrical Maintenance Programs

Infrared thermography can also play an important role within a broader electrical maintenance program.

NFPA 70B has increased the focus on documented electrical maintenance, equipment condition, inspection intervals, testing, and maintenance history.

Egalvanic was built to help contractors and facility teams manage those programs at the asset level.

By bringing thermal inspection information into the same environment as electrical asset records and maintenance history, teams can build a more complete picture of equipment condition instead of maintaining separate systems for IR inspections, maintenance activities, and compliance documentation.

The result is a more connected electrical maintenance program and a stronger record of the work being performed.

Built for Contractors Who Want to Scale IR Services

For electrical contractors, infrared thermography shouldn't have to be a labor-intensive standalone service.

It can be part of a larger recurring maintenance strategy.

Egalvanic combines infrared thermography, electrical asset tracking, NFPA 70B maintenance management, field data collection, reporting, and other electrical service workflows within one platform.

Now, with Egalvanic FLIR App Enabled, we're continuing to reduce the gap between capturing information in the field and putting that information to work.

Because the future of electrical maintenance isn't another folder full of thermal images.

It's knowing which asset the image belongs to, what has changed, what needs attention, and what should happen next.
