Description

In a highly competitive global marketplace, industrial organizations increasingly seek digital intelligence to better manage and operate assets to meet critical business demands, address the increasing shortage of thermal expertise in the workforce, and provide real-time energy management and sustainability monitoring. Understanding how to track energy consumption, emissions, reliability, and resiliency of plant operations is imperative so that facility managers can implement the right sustainability roadmap to meet corporate and shareholder goals, improve worker conditions and safety, and optimize production. In most thermal process systems, information is trapped at the equipment level. What if there was a way to leverage advanced sensors and analytics to create a connected thermal solutions system that could provide real-time energy and sustainability insights? Thermal IQ was developed as a remote monitoring solution that could securely connect combustion equipment to the cloud, making critical thermal process data available anytime, anywhere, on any smart device. It offers seamless integration for every plant personnel, from operators to managers, allowing them to see what is happening within their facility through real-time alerts when key parameters exceed normal limits. By being able to leverage this thermal process information into real-time actionable intelligence, industrial customers were able to realize sustainability, energy, and non-energy benefits such as: • Improved safety and operational risk management by ensuring 100% compliance to procedures and reducing annual incidents by 10% • Increased reliability and operational excellence of thermal equipment and processes through better visibility resulting in a reduction of unplanned downtime by 50% and maintenance costs by 10% • Reduced energy consumption and optimized demand • Lowered energy costs by 10% and GHG emissions by 5% by being able to make more informed energy and emissions management decisions.
