As oil, gas, and energy job sites increasingly adopt remote operation technology, a pressing question arises: How can contractors and facility owners utilizing on-site heat treatment services trust that the provider implementing remote-control technology has real-time visibility into critical equipment data and operating statuses?
Service providers attempting to use a hybrid version of true remote-control technology often leave a gap in this crucial area, making it challenging to remotely monitor and operate heat treatment equipment, prevent issues, and ensure quality assurance without constant on-site action. This lack of visible data in their operating systems can lead to unexpected delays, costly rework due to failed heat cycles, and ultimately a loss in client trust in their tech stack.
A New Standard for Real-Time Equipment Monitoring
Superheat has proactively solved this problem by enhancing our equipment and Superheat SmartCenter™ communication platform with recent hardware and software upgrades. These improvements provide even more precise real-time equipment status read-outs, delivering unprecedented visibility into the equipment used to execute the heat treatment process.
Through recent advancements to our patented (8,361,252 B2) remote wireless technology, field staff using the SmartView app and our centralized SmartCenter operators can now monitor every critical operating status and tolerance range within the equipment in real time. This level of transparency ensures that all stakeholders have access to the same accurate data, allowing for seamless collaboration and rapid response to any deviations from the equipment’s prescribed parameters, specifically ones that could adversely affect the outcome of a heat treatment cycle.
A Direct Line of Sight to Critical Information
This updated tech feature provides 100% digital visibility into all major equipment gauge cluster statuses, enabling remote SmartCenter operators and job site teams to conduct diagnostics and alarm potential issues before they occur. If a critical status within a heat treatment rig or generator falls out of tolerance or exceeds a specification threshold, our system triggers an instant notification. Based on the alarm type, this allows field technicians or panel operators to intervene proactively, preventing failed heat cycles, minimizing project delays, and ultimately reducing client costs.
Key Equipment Status and Calibration Information:
- Equipment & Temperature Readings: Control mode, gen tier, engine speed, coolant temp, gen total watts, and gen percentage full power
- Engine operating Indicators & Critical Fluid Levels: Inlet manifold temp, turbo pressure, oil pressure, fuel, injector rail pressure, def tank level, and def tank temp
- Voltage and Current Levels: Heater draw and output, and gen battery reserve
- Equipment Calibration & Triage Status: Calibration dates, calibration documents, and status tagging (Green vs Pink)
- Communication Signals: Network ID, refresh rates, type, and quality
Industry-Leading Visibility at No Additional Cost
Unlike traditional approaches that require additional fees for enhanced monitoring or diagnostics tools, we have incorporated our real-time equipment overwatch feature into our standard remote operational procedure at no added cost to clients. When partnering with Superheat, customers automatically receive these value-added benefits as part of our full service SmartWay offering, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and service excellence.
