EHT Guys

EHT Guys专门从事电伴热系统的维护、调试和施工。他们是一家总部位于安大略省滑铁卢的加拿大公司，致力于为客户简化和现代化热跟踪流程。他们希望开发一种名为Live Monitor Dashboard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，并允许为维护人员确定警报的优先顺序，以便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。 当工业管道暴露在极低的温度下时，确实存在流体冻结和管道破裂的风险，有可能将有害物质泄漏到环境中。同样，许多行业要求在制造过程中将工艺流体保持在特定温度下。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，这些系统配备了本地控制功能，以允许可编程的加热顺序和报警信号。举例来说，一个普通的工业设施有3000多个热跟踪电路，通常每天产生450个活动警报。考虑到热跟踪系统故障的潜在灾难性性质，需要一名合格的电工对每个实例进行调查和诊断，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在线迁移该数据，以便于实时了解布线系统的运行状况。 在Conestoga SMART中心的支持下，EHT人员正在寻求开发和推进该领域的技术，以使他们的客户更容易进行维护和工程设计。

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.
