‘HALO’ remote monitoring system uses cutting edge technology to create a remote Boilerhouse monitoring system, which uses analogue, digital and mod bus to provide a critical overview into asset performance.

Customers are demanding a more efficient way of monitoring individual assets and there is an increasing need to keep costs down through the process of optimum efficiency. The capability to monitor numerous assets across multiple sites and through one application is becoming more valuable on the digital platform.

Fuel, water, steam and power are monitored in real time, delivering consumption and cost per Kg of steam raised.  On the remote platform, meter readings can be accessed for the last 24 hours, the last week, the last year or between any two given dates.

Through OPEX, remote monitoring accurately predicts ‘real time’ cost savings through precise monitoring of energy use at any time. Instant alarm facilities and essential features, minimises costly downtime in production lead environments. Remote monitoring is most effective when coupled to a BG01 prepared steam boiler, but can be tailor prepared for any energy application.

Instant alarms like burner lockout will automatically generate a series of events.  Tailored for the customer, the system will make a call directly to an on-call engineer who will be able to respond to the issue or alternately will generate an email, call or SMS to an onsite operative. This is an essential feature which allows for an immediate response to minimise costly downtime or interruptions to critical processes.

Some of the features remote monitoring can deliver are:

·  Intelligent 24/7 monitoring of assets.

·  Monitor and manage energy use.

·  Monitor multiple assets in one system across multiple sites.

·  Remote diagnosis of faults.

·  Trending of metered inputs and outputs.

·  Record fault history and resolutions.

·  Monitors alarms, faults and conditions on all assets.

·  Determine peak loads and average demand.

·  Export alarms to service engineers and boiler men.

·  Automatic reporting

·  Remotely determine the boilerhouse status anytime & anywhere.

For example, by monitoring flue temperature, customers will be able to see if there are any changes within the boiler which will result in fuel savings, such as the boiler becoming less efficient if the tubes are dirty.

These features will be highly advantageous within the boilerhouse, resulting in immense benefits including:

·  Cost savings through optimal performance.

·  Improved fault response.

·  Instant alerts on failures – ‘when it matters’.

·  The ability to determine both maintenance and investment strategy.

·  Predictive maintenance to prolong equipment life.

·  Minimal downtime resulting in increased revenue.

·  Calculate and improve efficiencies, reliability and availability.

·  Anticipate service requirements and reduced risk of further damage.

·  Reduced labour costs.
