Monitoring in SmartTrace refers to real-time tracking and alerting of your heat trace systems’ performance. Management, on the other hand, involves actively controlling and optimizing those systems. With SmartTrace, you get both, ensuring your heat trace infrastructure is not only monitored for issues but also managed to prevent them.

We have extensive experience in networking heat trace controllers, and we often utilize radio technology to achieve this. The best part is that this is a proven and cost-effective solution. It allows for seamless communication between controllers and the SmartTrace platform, ensuring comprehensive monitoring and management.
No, SmartTrace is not a traditional subscription service. It’s a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, which means you have continuous access to the latest updates and features as part of your usage. We are constantly improving and enhancing SmartTrace to provide you with the best experience.
You own your data. At EHT Group, we understand the importance of data security and privacy. Your data is yours, and we ensure its confidentiality and security.
SmartTrace is hosted in the cloud for several reasons. It provides universal accessibility, allowing you to monitor and manage your heat trace systems from anywhere. The cloud offers unlimited data storage and computational power, ensuring scalability and robust performance for your needs.
 SmartTrace is an extremely secure platform, and we have developed a specific integration method that aligns with facility heat trace networks. It’s important to note that SmartTrace is already installed and trusted in some of the world’s largest oil and gas facilities, which speaks to its reliability and security. We can work closely with your team to address any concerns and ensure a seamless implementation process.
SmartTrace is designed to connect to a wide range of heat trace controllers, assuming they have communication capability. This includes controllers from major brands such as nVent (Raychem / Digitrace), Thermon, Nextron, Chromalox, and even PLC-based heat trace controllers. If there’s a controller that SmartTrace currently can’t connect to, our team is continually expanding our compatibility, and we can have it integrated within a week or two to ensure comprehensive monitoring and management.
SmartTrace provides real-time insights into your heat trace systems’ performance, enabling you to identify and address issues proactively. This not only reduces the need for costly emergency repairs and minimizes downtime but also plays a crucial role in optimizing how your heat trace systems operate and are configured. This optimization can lead to significant power savings and a reduced CO2 footprint, making it not only a cost-saving solution but also an environmentally conscious one. Over time, these benefits translate into both financial and sustainability gains for your facility.
Yes, SmartTrace is designed for easy integration into existing heat trace systems. Our team can work with your facility to seamlessly incorporate SmartTrace into your operations, whether your controllers are networked or not.
We offer comprehensive training and support to ensure you get the most out of SmartTrace. Our team will guide you through the setup process, provide training for your staff, and offer ongoing support to address any questions or issues that may arise.
Absolutely. SmartTrace is designed to adapt to the unique requirements of your facility. We understand that no two facilities complete heat trace maintenance activities in the same way. That’s why SmartTrace’s management processes are entirely customizable. This includes tailoring how we integrate your facility’s scheduling and process data into SmartTrace. We work closely with you to ensure that SmartTrace aligns seamlessly with your specific processes and needs, offering a personalized solution that maximizes efficiency and effectiveness.
At EHT Group, we specialise in heat trace networking solutions. SmartTrace is built to utilize simple robust networking and conductivity principles to ensure reliability and future troubleshooting.Â
No proprietary hardware is required. Â
SmartTrace is perfect for both large-scale installations, and small applications where no network infrastructure is in place (think water towers or remote locations.)
SmartTrace will connect to a heat trace infrastructure where existing hardwired connections to heat trace panels (EHT) are already established.
This will typically consist of a networked system consisting of a fiber network and serial media converters.Â
We are radio communication experts.Â
Radios are a perfect solution to connect hard-to-reach heat trace panels where traditional wiring is unfeasible.Â
Traditionally we utilize industrial 900MHz ad 2.4GHz serial radios. Â
Perfect for small applications in remote locations. Think pump stations, water towers, and pump houses.Â
Locations, where heat trace infrastructure exists but no existing network infrastructure, are in place.Â
SmartTace will connect to industrial cellular network equipment we install inside your heat trace controllers.Â
