Better maintenance means a more productive economy.

IRISS was at MRAM 2026 in Mumbai, where industry leaders explored how better asset management could help India recover productivity lost to breakdowns, unplanned downtime and premature equipment replacement.

Featured in this MTI News article, IRISS founder and CEO Martin Robinson explains the connection:

“Better maintenance is a direct driver of productivity and economic growth.”

From condition-based maintenance to informed decisions using asset data, the opportunity is clear: keep equipment running longer, reduce waste and give maintenance teams the insight to act before problems escalate.

Equipment reliability affects everything from pharmaceutical production to continuity of patient care.

In this Pharmabiz article, IRISS founder and CEO Martin Robinson explains how reliable assets support greater equipment availability, fewer production disruptions, lower operating costs and less waste.

It’s a message that drives our work: help teams identify developing problems, make informed maintenance decisions and keep critical operations running.

The next IRISS x Eaton certification cohort starts November 9th.

Four days of practical, standards-aligned training in infrared thermography. Backed by two names that have spent decades in electrical safety and reliability. You will leave with a Level I certification and skills you can put to work immediately.

Three cohorts are available through 2026:

Infrared Thermography Level I
November 9 to 12

Ultrasound Level I
November 2 to 5

Built for maintenance teams, reliability engineers, electricians, and safety professionals. If your team needs certified inspection capability this year, the dates are there. The May cohort is the most immediate.

Most vibration reports are good at telling you something is wrong. Fewer tell you what to do about it.

Our vibration analysis service is built around the second part. IRISS analysts use spectrum, waveform, and envelope analysis to tell imbalance apart from misalignment and bearing wear. Then they hand you a prioritized report: what's failing, why, and what to fix first.

Once the repair is done, we measure again to confirm it worked.

Vibration analysis that ends in a decision, not a data dump. Link in the comments.

Most acoustic inspections end the same way: findings on one device, notes on another, and an afternoon spent turning both into a report.

Sonus Viz is a tablet-based acoustic camera built to close that gap. Tag an asset with NFC, capture the finding, and upload it to your cloud-based CMMS in real time, while you're still standing next to the equipment.

It detects leaks in compressed air, gas, and vacuum lines and estimates the annual cost avoidance. It also identifies electrical faults by capturing decibel levels, acoustic waveforms, and high-resolution images, with 24 MEMS microphones pinpointing where the emission is coming from.

In the latest issue of MRAM Insider, Mark Paul, Global Director of Sales and Marketing at IRISS, explains why electrical reliability belongs at the center of asset strategy, and why a reading that doesn't lead to a maintenance decision is just noise.

The conversation continues at MRAM Expo 2026 in Mumbai, October 7 to 9. Martin Robinson speaks at the conference, and the IRISS Asia Pacific team runs a hands-on ODSR workshop on October 8.

Most electrical incidents don't start with a dramatic failure. They start with a connection running warm inside a closed cabinet, or a contractor working from last month's procedure.

Both are visibility problems, and on October 13 IRISS is bringing an answer to each to Electrical Safety & Operational Reliability in Data Centers 2026 at the Westfields Marriott in Chantilly, VA.

E Sentry puts smart sensors on energized equipment, so your team sees electrical risks before they become incidents and opens fewer live cabinets to find out. Safe-Connect connects people, procedures, and safety information in real time, so everyone on site, contractors included, works from the same picture.

Find us at our stand near the main stage. Registration is required, and the link is in the comments.

The target was 115.8°F. Through a calcium fluoride crystal window, the camera read 82.4°F.

Same target, same camera, two years after install. Through a polymer window that started with the same transmission rate, it read 115.9°F.

That's a measurement error of more than 28% in a test published in Uptime Magazine. Crystal degrades, so unless someone re-tests the window, a serious fault reads as a minor one. Patented polymer optics hold their transmission, which is why IRISS builds windows around them.

CAP, VP and Flex IR are all on one page. Link in the first comment.

One thing new thermographers rarely get told: a single thermal image can't tell you if something's actually wrong.

Temperature alone isn't the diagnostic. Rate of change is. A connection running warm every year at the same load isn't necessarily a problem. A connection that's 15 degrees hotter than it was six months ago, at the same load, is the one that needs attention.

Without a baseline, you're not doing condition monitoring. You're taking a photo.

September is a reminder. Electrical safety is an everyday responsibility.

This , IRISS is highlighting the importance of safe isolation, competent people, and maintenance practices that put safety first.

Safer maintenance also starts with how equipment is designed and inspected. Infrared windows allow thermal inspections with electrical panels closed, helping reduce exposure to energised components. When maintenance requires isolation, there is no substitute for following the correct procedure.

From inspection access to practical training, every improvement should support one goal: getting people home safely.
