Experience
Entek has a wide array of project and product experience. A brief summary of some of the
more recent projects is given below:
Supply of Mobile Data Processor (MDP) units and software to BC
Ministry of Forests Fire Protection Branch.
Entek played a significant role in the development of the
Resource management system used by the BC Ministry of Forests, Fire protection Branch. The
system provides real time location of all fire fighting assets and fires. It also provides
full 2 way messaging capabilities between all vehicles/aircraft and dispatchers/district
offices. The system provides graphic and forms workstations for all district supervisors,
dispatchers, air tanker bases, and fire report telephone centers. All data is logged onto
a central database in Victoria. A full digital low VHF data network connects all the
aircraft and vehicles with the ground based stations.
Cutter suction positioning systems including all
hardware, sensing systems, Entek's own SeeLevel tide gauge system, and
DredgeTrak and HydroTrak software.
Entek has developed real time positioning software and
hardware systems that are used extensively in the dredging industry. These turnkey systems
provide 3 dimensional graphic views of the river bottom, cutter and dredge positions,
shorelines, markers, and any other data layers or features required. The system stores all
data collected into a project database for reviewing, editing, plotting and exporting to
other systems.
Design and supply of complete Electrical E-Houses
to Escondida Copper mine project in Chile and Highland Valley Copper Mine in Logan Lake BC
including programming and supply of computer systems for start sequence control and
permissive and supervisory systems.
Entek supplied key control system components and software for
the successful installation and startup of 10 long belt conveyor systems (~1 km) capable
of 7000 tons per hour (6000 HP each). Entek took full responsibility for safe and proper
startup of multi-million dollar systems.
Design and manufacture of measuring and process
control computers used in mobile log delimbers and feller processor heads.
Entek develops and manufactures computer control systems used
in mobile logging equipment for measuring and optimization of bucking. This has become a
standard product line and is supplied to many of the equipment manufacturers including
Balderson Inc. (a subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc.) Entek has successfully met all quality
requirements demanded by the equipment manufacturers.
Design, manufacture, programming and installation
of precision paper ream de-stacker systems for Island Paper Mills, Annacis Island B.C.
A high precision and time critical turn-key application
including mechanical hardware design and manufacture, electronic control system design and
manufacture, software design, installation, documentation and training. Accuracy and
timely completion and installation of the job were extremely critical. The system was
completed on time and performed beyond the customer's expectations.
Concept, design and supply of Vehicle monitoring
and data collection units for 240 ton Mining trucks at Westar Mine, Elkford BC.
The concept and development of the PM1000 monitors directly
resulted in the sale of 120+ mine trucks to Westar Mine in Elkford BC by Transwest
Dynequip Ltd. Entek coordinated the technical requirements for data set out by General
Electric (electric drive propulsion system), Cummins (2000 HP diesel engines), Michelin
(tires), Haulpak (truck frame, body and hydraulics) and Westar mine management.
Supply of vehicle tracking, sensing, and
messaging system for State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources.
Entek supplyed hardware and software components for the
State of Michigan Department of Natural Resources. The completed first phase of the system
provides real time monitoring of 350 state vehicles. Each vehicle is equipped
with an Entek MDP (Mobile Data Processor) system which includes sensor inputs, GPS
positioning, emergency transmitter, 2 way messaging capability, notebook PC interface, and
RF low band VHF digital network modem.
