Shepherd
Monitor and Protect
Purpose-built FLIR thermal cameras watch your header’s bearings, belts and components every second of harvest — catching overheating before it becomes a fire.

Overview
The difference between a warning and a write-off
Shepherd is a thermal monitoring system built for the harvest. Industrial-grade FLIR cameras mount directly on your harvester’s critical zones and stream live thermal feeds to your in-cab display — so you can see exactly what your machine is telling you, without leaving the seat.
With header fire claims rising sharply, early detection is the first line of defence. Shepherd identifies overheating components up to 30 minutes before ignition, giving you the window to act before flames appear and the season is lost.
