Instrument-Grade Thermal Imaging for Critical Infrastructure
RADIX ruggedized radiometric thermal sensors deliver continuous, calibrated temperature measurement for electrical substations, transformer vaults, underground networks, and industrial facilities. Built for Power Intelligence by Planck Vision Systems.
Compact fixed-point
80 Hz · IP67
<40mK · Dual Spectrum
All models include licensed Sigma Delta Tau™ analytics
Built for the Environments
Others Can't Monitor
RADIX cameras are purpose-designed for continuous operation in harsh electrical environments — not adapted from consumer or commercial thermal products.
Rugged by Design
IP67-rated stainless steel integrated enclosure with high-quality coated germanium optics. Rated for continuous outdoor and underground operation across all climates.
Instrument-Grade Accuracy
±2°C or ±2% calibrated radiometric measurement. Not thermal imaging — temperature measurement. The distinction matters when you are making maintenance decisions.
Sigma Delta Tau™ Licensed
Every RADIX camera includes licensed access to Power Intelligence's patented SDT multi-factor comparative analytics, compensating for emissivity, ambient temperature, wind, humidity, and solar loading in real time.
NDAA Compliant
All RADIX cameras fully comply with National Defense Authorization Act country-of-origin standards. Custom-built for Power Intelligence by Planck Vision Systems — not rebranded commercial product.
Smart Controller
The RADIX camera controller provides power, local image storage, and edge analytics for up to four RADIX cameras with multiple regions of interest per camera. Supplemental sensors connect via the same controller.
Enterprise Security
Encrypted end-to-end telemetry for both on-premise and cloud-based deployments. SCADA and historian integration via FTP, REST, DNP3, or MODBUS. Compatible with existing OT security architecture.
