Thermal Risk Intelligence
Stop fires before there's smoke.
Continuous, contact-based thermal monitoring of electrical panels, busbars, breakers, and critical heat sources. Detect anomalies hours before failure — not after the damage is done.

The Problem
Smoke detectors tell you a fire has started. That's too late.
By the time a smoke alarm triggers in your electrical room, the damage is already measured in thousands of dollars — and dozens of shutdown hours.
How OctosX Solves It
Contact-based thermal monitoring. Always on. Sub-degree precision.
UL-certified, IEC 60068 environmental-rated thermal pass sensors mount directly on busbars, breaker lugs, and cable terminations. Continuous readings every configurable sample interval — not spot-check scans.
Temperature readings with ±0.5°C accuracy. Multi-tier thresholds: advisory, warning, and critical — each with configurable escalation paths. Rate-of-rise detection catches accelerating faults that static thresholds miss.
Dashboard notification → email → SMS → on-call escalation. Configurable per node, per cabinet, per site. Alerts include the specific sensor ID, temperature reading, delta from baseline, and time of first detection.
Every thermal event, every alert, every acknowledgment — time-stamped, tamper-proof, and exportable. Supports NFPA 70B inspection documentation, insurance reporting, and regulatory audits.
Sensor Technology
Powered by Thermalpas — a globally patented thermal-tracking sensor.
Conventional contact thermal sensors lose signal in the interface layer between sensor and surface. Thermalpas closes that gap with a superconductive contact layer — so the temperature you read is the temperature that's actually there.
low thermal conductivity
Sensor reading lags behind real surface temperature. Hotspots are detected late — sometimes too late.
superconductive layer
Sensor reading tracks real surface temperature in near-real-time. Internal temperature changes propagate to the surface — and we catch them as they happen.

Coverage
What gets monitored
Any surface that generates heat under fault conditions — and where that fault could cascade into fire, arc flash, or extended outage.
Who It's For
The people who need to know before the smoke alarm does.
One MCC fire can take a production line down for days. OctosX gives you documented proof that your electrical infrastructure is being watched — every hour of every shift.
Tamper-proof thermal logs support insurance claims, reduce premium risk for carriers who recognize proactive monitoring, and satisfy auditors asking for documented fire-prevention controls.
Named alerts with sensor ID, temperature trend, and time-since-first-detection give maintenance teams exactly what they need to prioritize — and exactly what documentation they need after.
Implementation
Deployed in days. No production interruption.
Thermal pass sensors mount on live busbars and terminal blocks. No panel shutdown required for most installations. A typical MCC room with 30–50 monitored points goes live in one to two days.
SI or OctosX engineer reviews electrical drawings, identifies monitoring points, produces sensor placement plan.
Contact sensors mounted on live infrastructure. IPC installed in control room. Typically completed in 1–2 days without production interruption.
System learns normal operating temperatures per node, per load condition, per time of day. Baseline typically established within 5–7 operating days.
Platform enters active monitoring. Alerts configured for your team's escalation paths. Dashboard live for plant manager and maintenance team.
Typical Deployment
Outcomes
Measured in dollars avoided, not features delivered.
Fire Prevention
Detect thermal anomalies hours before they escalate to arc flash or fire. Documented interventions on record for insurers and safety auditors.
Insurance Leverage
Some carriers recognize proactive thermal monitoring programs. OctosX provides the documentation — continuous logs, baseline deviations, and intervention records — needed to support premium discussions.
NFPA 70B Compliance
Continuous monitoring supports the inspection frequency guidance in NFPA 70B (Recommended Practice for Electrical Equipment Maintenance). Export inspection-ready reports directly from the platform.
Case Study
1 IPC. 56 Nodes. 118 Sensors. Zero production fires.
A furniture manufacturer in Taiwan — high fire-risk processes, complex electrical infrastructure, and a history of MCC overheating events — deployed OctosX Thermal Risk Intelligence across their entire production floor. The system detected three thermal threshold breaches in the first quarter, each of which was investigated and resolved before any production impact.
