A Portuguese engineering company for predictive maintenance solutions and smart grid technologies looks for distributors / agents of its solutions

The Portuguese company, founded in 2011, is specialized on the development of innovative industrial asset condition monitoring solutions focusing in technologies of internet of things, aiming to contribute to the monitoring of the condition of equipment, safety of facilities and people. The SME is also specializing in fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance techniques in electromechanical systems and develops innovative products to monitor electrical motors and power transformers. The proposed solutions are only based in electrical quantities analysis and is a non-invasive method of detection and faults evaluation, simple and easy to install and to operate. Therefore, electric currents and voltage will be measured and acquired through a data acquisition and analysis platform, where the diagnostic machine processes and analyses them in real time. Through a communication network, the platform sends the diagnosis results to a remote server where they are stored in a database and can be viewed through the software solution. In addition to the periodic reports are generated alerts when the diagnosis result warrants it. The monitoring system uses state-of-the-art diagnostic techniques ensuring the detection and assessment of the faults severity of the frequently faults in this type of equipment. In addition to monitoring the operating condition of the equipment, it may be available an additional module that assesses to the thermal module of the transformer, the quality of power service and provides important energy efficiency elements (such as active, reactive and apparent power of each phase, power factor, total harmonic distortion, voltages and current imbalance, undesirable presence of harmonics). This system will warn about the beginning of a fault, follow this fault (its evolution, severity and the equipment degradation) and will notify them when the asset has a critical status (always with the notification about the part is broken). Through this early information about the transformer operation status, the respective maintenance departments can schedule maintenance/replacement action when it will be possible according to manufacturing plans, its budget and costumer demands. The Portuguese company is looking for companies to act as distributors or agents with good relation with the energy utilities or industrial companies. The company is willing to establish a distribution services agreement or commercial agency agreement where expects to find representatives to perform commercial work in their countries and/or franchise agency agreement giving to a sole trader their brand to exploit it in their country.
