Data Insights and Advanced Analytics with Watlow’s THERMALWATCH™ Plant Monitoring Solution
Transformative Data Management
THERMALWATCH is Watlow’s smart services and advanced analytics program designed to provide actionable insights of your thermal systems’ performance. It collects key process parameters to pinpoint opportunities for enhancement across various metrics such as uptime, yield, energy efficiency, and repeatability.
At the heart of the solution is Watlow’s deep understanding, developed from more than
100 years of designing and manufacturing thermal systems. THERMALWATCH is combined with a robust data management platform that displays near-real-time information about system performance. This includes vital metrics such as power delivery, controller health, and environmental factors affecting system performance. By utilizing sophisticated data analytics and expert analysis, businesses can identify inefficiencies, predict equipment failures, and optimize their operations to improve safety, minimize downtime, and boost overall productivity and quality.
Climate Change and the high-speed door
The symptoms of Climate Change are now very apparent with increases in global temperatures and changes in weather patterns being two of the warning signs.
Can industry help to mitigate the situation? Clearly industry, from manufacturing to storage, can assess the efficiency of the premises they occupy. The ever-open door in busy production facilities is a classic example of energy inefficiency where not only does costly heated air escapes, more energy is required to replace the lost heated air. This seems to be generally acceptable by industry.
For temperature control and energy management, the automatic door such as Hart’s Speedor is the solution. This fast-action door is the perfect answer. With its quality engineering and durability, Speedor high-speed doors will help to maintain temperatures within a building while keeping energy costs at an acceptable level.
Hart can manufacture industrial door systems customised to meet specific needs. As an
example the Speedor Storm variant is ready for anything the weather can throw at it. Be it a factory, warehouse, storage facility or any kind of plant operation, where doors must be open frequently for people and traffic the Speedor Storm can withstand wind up to ‘wind class 5’ as defined by DIN EN 12424.
Whether it’s access for deliveries, forklifts or people, there are far too many businesses that leave major entrances open for an unnecessary amount of time. The knock-on effect is wasted heating, higher costs and a less than optimal working environment.
Speedor Storm is designed specifically to take care of this. It can help with productivity because entering and leaving can be done more rapidly than non-automatic doors. Further it enhances the working environment because the high-speed operation, even on large doors, means there are no unnecessary open stages.
In turn this lowers energy consumption, important at a time when the cost of energy shows little sign of improving and of course reduced energy use has a positive impact on Climate Change.
In conclusion Hart Door Systems’ Speedor range can make a very significant contribution to energy conservation and a carbon footprint. The combination of automation and high speed operation prevents the passage of heated or cooled air escaping from a building only to heat the car park for instance.
