In today’s industrial landscape, acoustic imaging is becoming indispensable. From detecting compressed air and gas leaks that drain energy budgets to diagnosing partial discharge that threatens electrical reliability, acoustic inspection delivers insights that traditional tools can’t capture. However, while the technology is powerful, managing inspection data, ensuring compliance, and maintaining efficient workflows remain ongoing challenges.
That’s where FOTRIC NaviPdM® Venus steps in.
Turning Acoustic Data into Action
NaviPdM® Venus is FOTRIC’s AI-powered inspection assistant, designed to bring intelligence and structure to every acoustic inspection. When paired with FOTRIC acoustic imaging cameras, such as the H-series and H-Flex, Venus transforms raw acoustic data into organized, actionable reports.
Key benefits for acoustic inspections include:
Automatic Object Recognition – Whether scanning for compressed air leaks in manufacturing plants or corona discharges in substations, Venus identifies inspection targets on the spot.
Automated data registration: Link QR code to inspection points to boost data collection efficiency
Guided Acoustic Workflows – Inspectors follow structured steps that ensure nothing is overlooked, improving consistency across teams.
On-Device Annotations – Mark leak points, discharge locations, or anomalies directly on the acoustic image.
Real-Time Analysis – Distinguish between leak types or discharge stages without waiting for offline processing.
Supporting Energy Efficiency and Safety Compliance
Compressed air and gas leaks can waste thousands of dollars annually per facility, while undetected partial discharges can lead to catastrophic equipment failures. Venus helps teams catch these issues early and document them effectively, aligning inspection practices with predictive maintenance goals and NFPA 70B/70E compliance requirements.
End-to-End Traceability
With NaviPdM® Venus, inspection data isn’t just stored—it’s traceable and shareable. Every acoustic inspection is logged with images, annotations, and AI-driven insights, giving maintenance teams a reliable history of asset conditions. Reports can be generated instantly, ensuring managers and safety officers get the visibility they need.
Flexible Report Template Customization
NaviPdM® Venus also supports customizable report templates, allowing organizations to tailor inspection reports to their exact requirements. From adding company branding and compliance references to structuring data for specific asset classes, teams can align documentation with internal standards or regulatory frameworks. This flexibility ensures that every acoustic inspection report not only captures critical findings but also fits seamlessly into existing maintenance and compliance systems.
A Smarter Future for Acoustic Inspections
As more industries adopt acoustic imaging, FOTRIC NaviPdM® Venus ensures inspections are not just about detection, but about decisions. By bridging the gap between field findings, diagnosis, and work orders, Venus empowers teams to save energy, prevent failures, and enhance safety—without adding complexity to their workflow.
