Development of a Monitoring System for Industrial Assets in Severe Environments
FY 2023-24
Summary
Enertics Inc., located in Milton, Ontario, specializes in advanced technology for monitoring, diagnosing, and predicting the health of vital industrial assets, ensuring optimal asset uptime while reducing unforeseen expenses related to emergency maintenance and production losses due to unexpected failures. The company's technology is ideal for various electrical and mechanical rotating equipment, including electric motors, pumps, compressors, gearboxes, and journal bearings.
Enertic's current intellectual property (IP) for their hardware and software product is suitable for externally powered sensor devices, particularly for general-purpose applications in medium-to-heavy industrial settings like steel and manufacturing plants. The novelty of the technology lies in integrating multi-variate sensing technologies, including ultrasound acoustics, magnetic flux, triaxial vibration, and temperature signatures. Coupled with cutting-edge analytics, it delivers automatic and precise asset health notifications, ensuring customer reliability.
Enertics aims to develop an innovative, standalone product using its existing IP. This device will be equipped with advanced self-powered sensors and software for specialized use cases, including hazardous environments like petrochemical refineries and mines. It will also serve wet environments where external power sources are impractical.
Enertics and Lambton College will collaborate to develop an innovative asset health monitoring, diagnostics, and predictive system for a hazardous and wet environment. This new system will incorporate wireless communication to send data remotely. The team will also focus on optimizing power consumption for the integrated sensor system.
The project's success will establish new IP for Enertics' battery-powered product, designed for advanced hazardous and wet environments. This will significantly enhance our competitiveness and drive growth in these segments and customer applications. The project is pivotal for successful product launches and customer deployments, enabling Enertics to expand globally in these identified use-case applications. Anticipated incremental sales of up to $2 million within the next 2-3 years are expected, accompanied by the creation of 2-3 new high-value technology jobs in Ontario.
