The paper will describe the parameters of the IR systems used for inspecting the quality of thermal insulation in rotating kilns used in cement production. The systems are provided with a laser targeting device and a remote radio control device. They include: an 'Introcon-05' IR scanner, a laptop PC, an adapter of the communication line, a synchro-unit and a 'Thermoinspector' software. The latter one allows data filtering and thresholding in order to indicate defect zones. The built-in defect characterization algorithm enables estimates of a residual thickness of the thermal insulation layer. The systems are being used by several Russian producers of cement
