Abstract
The global economy of the 21st Century will place continued pressure on newer and better products. Products will have tighter and tighter specifications to meet the demand of the sophisticated consumer. For industry this will mean that the development department will have to update old products or more likely, create entirely new products to keep up with this demand. For the manufacturing and process plant this will mean a product with tighter tolerances, better quality and uniformity, while increasing machine and plant efficiency. To accomplish this, facilities will place tighter specifications on the manufacturing process, which will in turn, place greater demands for additional and improved process monitoring and control. Process Monitoring and Control Instrumentation has been a growth industry and will only continue to expand well into the 21st Century. One technology that is only now beginning to penetrate this area is Infrared Thermography.
