Food & Beverage Manufacturing
Catch motor failures, electrical faults, and conveyor heat before they shut down production or start a plant fire
AVIAN monitors your motors, conveyors, electrical panels, and compressors 24/7 so overheating equipment is caught before it halts production or creates fire risk.
Equipment and electrical failures are the #1 cause of plant fires
Electrical failures cause 20% of manufacturing fires. Mechanical failures cause another 17%. In food plants running 24/7, these aren't abstract risks — they shut down lines and destroy equipment.

Where aging equipment and 24/7 production create constant fire risk
Food plants run hard and run continuously. The goal is to catch overheating equipment and electrical faults while the fix is still a work order — not an evacuation.
Motor and bearing overheating
Motors and bearings on conveyors, mixers, and processing lines run under constant load. AVIAN catches the thermal trend before a hot component seizes and shuts down the line.
Electrical panel and distribution faults
Overloaded panels, loose connections, and aging wiring generate heat long before they trip a breaker or start a fire. Thermal monitoring finds them early.
Refrigeration compressor failures
Compressor overheating can degrade refrigerant, damage equipment, and create fire or explosion risk with ammonia-based systems. A single failure can cost $200,000+ in product loss and downtime.
Combustible dust from dry ingredients
Flour, sugar, grain dust, and powdered ingredients are combustible. Heat near processing, conveying, or storage equipment in dusty environments can escalate fast.

FLIR vs. AVIAN: What You Actually Need for Industrial Thermal Monitoring
If you're looking into thermal monitoring for your facility, you've probably come across FLIR. They're the biggest name in thermal imaging, and for good reason. They make excellent cameras.
Our Food & Beverage Package
One system across your motors, panels, compressors, and processing lines.
Built for food and beverage plants that need earlier warning on equipment heat, electrical faults, and fire risk across production and utility areas.
Coverage
Watch motors, electrical panels, compressors, and conveyor equipment across the plant
Thermal cameras are positioned around production lines, electrical rooms, utility areas, and processing equipment — focused on the assets where heat means downtime or fire.
Detection
Catch overheating equipment and electrical faults before they become fires or shutdowns
AVIAN tracks thermal behavior across your plant so a trending motor, loaded panel, or failing compressor is caught while the fix is still routine — not after it stops the line.
Response
Get alerts that reach your team immediately — day shift, night shift, or weekend
Your team gets setup support, alerting, and ongoing tuning so critical heat events are escalated quickly — no matter what shift is running or how lightly the plant is staffed.
