EHT Guys

EHT Guys专门从事电伴热系统的维护、调试和施工。他们是一家加拿大公司，总部设在滑铁卢，致力于简化和现代化的热跟踪过程为他们的客户。他们希望开发一种名为实时监控仪表板的独特软件应用程序，该应用程序将能够集中和显示从任何制造商的热跟踪系统收集的实时数据和警报。该应用程序将允许客户查看其热跟踪系统的整体状态和健康状况，并允许维护人员优先考虑警报，以大大减少对警报进行排序所花费的时间，并更好地管理工作负载。 当工业管道暴露在非常低的温度下时，存在流体冻结和管道破裂的真实的风险，可能将有害物质泄漏到环境中。同样，许多行业需要将过程流体保持在特定温度下以用于制造过程。电伴热是用于将这些工艺流体保持在指定温度的方法。通常，这些系统配备有本地控制能力，以允许可编程加热序列和报警信号。例如，一个普通的工业设施有超过3,000个伴热电路，通常每天产生450个活动警报。考虑到伴热系统故障的潜在灾难性性质，需要合格的电工来调查和诊断每个实例，其中许多警报是滋扰警报。这给技术人员带来了大量积压的工作，因此需要整合从本地控制器捕获的数据，并将这些数据在线迁移，以便于实时了解布线系统的健康状况。 在Conestoga的SMART中心的支持下，EHT Guys正在寻求开发和推进该领域的技术，使客户的维护和工程变得容易。

EHT Guys specializes in the maintenance, commissioning and construction of Electrical Heat Tracing systems. They are a Canadian company, based in Waterloo, ON, committed to simplifying and modernizing the heat trace process for their clients. They want to develop a unique software application called Live Monitoring Dashboard, which will have the ability to centralize and display real-time data and alarms collected from any manufacturer's heat trace systems. This application will allow clients to see the overall status, and health, of their heat trace systems, and will allow for the prioritization of alarms for maintenance staff in order to greatly reduce time spent sorting through alarms and to better manage workloads. When industrial piping is exposed to very low temperatures there is a real risk of fluids freezing and bursting the pipes, potentially leaking harmful substances into the environment. Likewise, many industries require maintaining process fluids at a specific temperature for use in manufacturing processes. Electrical Heat Tracing is the method used to keep these process fluids at a specified temperature. Typically, these systems are equipped with local control capabilities to allow for programmable heating sequences, and alarm signalling. To illustrate, an average industrial facility has over 3,000 heat trace circuits, typically generating 450 active alarms per day. Given the potentially catastrophic nature of heat trace system failures a qualified electrician is required to investigate and diagnose each instance, with many of those alarms being nuisance alarms. This creates an overwhelming backlog of work for technicians, so there is a need to consolidate data capture from local controllers and to migrate that data online to facilitate a real-time picture of the health of the cabling systems. With support from Conestoga's SMART Centre, EHT Guys are seeking to develop and advance the technology in this sector to make maintenance and engineering easy for their clients.
