Kel-Gor Limited is an industrial contractor headquartered in Sarnia, Ontario, incorporated in 1969. Kel-Gor Limited specializes in custom fabricating industrial process equipment including process piping, structural steel, pressure vessels, fired heaters, cracking furnaces, heat recovery units, modular process units, cold boxes, tanks, hoppers, stacks, ducts and more. The company also specializes in mechanical contracting, including construction and repair of industrial facilities together with oil refineries, chemical plants, industrial gas producers, oil and natural gas pipeline stations, power generating stations, pulp and paper plants, waste water treatment plants and more. Kel-Gor has identified that there are bottlenecks in efficiency posed by the manufacturing of large-scale tube or vessel products, and they require a more flexible workspace environment along with streamlined and automated product tracking of piping spools to subcontractors and shipping. Kel-Gor is partnering with Lambton College to optimize and develop automated solutions to Kel-Gor's manufacturing processes to improve process productivity and waste reduction. Lambton College's Bluewater Technology Access Centre's (BTAC) research team will work closely with the Kel-Gor team during the project. The success of the project will allow Kel-Gor to optimize manufacturing efficiency, utilize human resources more effectively and reduce costs to enable themselves to accept more projects, become more competitive and increase market share.

Kel-Gor Limited是一家工业承包商，总部位于安大略萨尼亚，成立于1969年。Kel-Gor Limited专门定制制造工业过程设备，包括工艺管道，结构钢，压力容器，火焰加热器，裂解炉，热回收装置，模块化工艺装置，冷箱，罐，料斗，烟囱，管道等。该公司还专门从事机械承包，包括炼油厂，化工厂，工业气体生产商，石油和天然气管道站，发电站，纸浆和造纸厂，废水处理厂等工业设施的建设和维修。Kel-Gor已经发现，大规模管道或容器产品的制造存在效率瓶颈，他们需要一个更灵活的工作空间环境，沿着流线型和自动化的产品跟踪，以便将管道线轴交付给分包商和运输。Kel-Gor正在与兰顿学院合作，优化和开发Kel-Gor制造流程的自动化解决方案，以提高流程生产率和减少浪费。兰顿学院的蓝水技术访问中心（BTAC）的研究团队将在项目期间与凯尔-戈尔团队密切合作。该项目的成功将使Kel-Gor能够优化制造效率，更有效地利用人力资源并降低成本，使自己能够接受更多的项目，变得更具竞争力并增加市场份额。
