EPLAN: Maintenance in the cloud
JCloud applications offer a variety of new possibilities. These possibilities can be extensive when one cog interlocks with the next across disciplines. Or, in more concrete terms regarding the EPLAN and Heitec example, when engineering and maintenance “talk to one another”. The showcase of an interface between EPLAN eVIEW, a new cloud-based tool, and HeiMAX, a mobile maintenance assistant, makes the coming smart factory technology understandable in Hanover. How does it all work? EPLAN eVIEW provides a structure parts list that is transferred to HeiMAX. When maintenance is required, the service technicians can jump directly to the appropriate component in the schematics. If, for example, the servicing requires viewing the circuit logic, EPLAN eVIEW provides this data. Read More
Rittal launches its Summer Cooling Promo
Just in time for summer, Rittal has launched its popular Summer Cooling Promo on its best-selling CSA-approved enclosure air conditioners and fans! From May 1- Aug 31, 2019, companies across Canada can take advantage of the special promo prices to stock up on the enclosure cooling systems that help decrease enclosure energy costs while enhancing efficiency.
“Heat can damage equipment inside an enclosure and lead to system failure. This is why installing a cooling solution from an industry leading supplier is a critical factor in extending a system’s life. It’s imperative that engineers design the system to take into account temperature build-up and the presence of water,” said Tim Rourke, President, Rittal Systems Ltd. Read More
JMP Solutions is CSIA Certified for Thirteenth Consecutive Year
JMP Solutions, industrial technology partner to the Fortune 1000, announced it has earned CSIA Certified status in the Control System Integrators Association (CSIA) “Best Practices and Benchmarks” certification program. This marks the thirteenth year JMP has held this coveted certification with CSIA, after receiving its initial certification in 2006.

Rittal & EPLAN Pump out a Powerful Solution for Metro Vancouver
One of Canada’s largest wastewater treatment plants at Annacis Island provides secondary treatment to approximately 175 billion litres of wastewater every year for over 1 million residents in 14 municipalities. After almost 20 years in operation, the variable frequency drives supporting the critical pumping systems for the primary treatment and secondary treatment facilities had to be replaced to ensure that the plant’s high operational availability and reliability will not be compromised in serving the plant, the surrounding municipalities and the environment. Metro Vancouver Regional District chose to deploy Rittal’s enclosure and power distribution solutions with E-plan software to efficiently support vital infrastructure improvements by reducing equipment replacement times and thereby minimizing risk to plant operations.
