    –
    MOBILTEX, a leading provider of innovative IIoT hardware and software solutions for cathodic protection and pipeline integrity remote monitoring within a broad range of industrial and municipal markets, is proud to announce its move to a new state-of-the-art headquarters located within Phase 2 of the Airport Crossing Industrial Park in Calgary.

    This expansion was fuelled by MOBILTEX’s steady growth over the last decade, necessitating larger space for all functional areas of the organization and for more streamlined production flow due to ongoing investments in equipment.

    The newly constructed 18,500-square-foot facility will accommodate leading-edge manufacturing technologies and lean process flows, resulting in increased efficiency and an enhanced overall customer experience. The build-out of the new facility is designed to achieve LEED specifications, with all aspects of the facility promoting energy efficiency.

    “Due to continued growth, we needed to increase manufacturing and warehouse space, as well as office space for our existing service & support teams, as well as expanding engineering and administrative teams. This facility is considerably larger than our current space, allowing us to expand and optimize in many exciting ways,” explained Tony da Costa, Vice President of Engineering for MOBILTEX.

    The unique design on the manufacturing side of the facility enables MOBILTEX to reconfigure the production areas as required based on demand. “We can implement much more efficient lean processes across our entire portfolio of products. This significantly optimizes workflow and increases productivity and efficiency,” said da Costa.

    “We are extremely proud and excited to be moving into our new headquarters in the very near future. The larger, modern facility will allow us to more efficiently deliver product to our customers worldwide but also enhances the development of the next generation of innovative solutions, enables our world-class customer service and support teams, and provides an improved work environment to our employees,” says Marc Bracken, CEO of MOBILTEX.

    The Calgary-based MOBILTEX workforce will be calling the new facility home, allowing for engineering, service and support, manufacturing and administration operation teams to all work more cohesively. Close proximity to Queen Elizabeth Highway 2 and the Calgary International Airport will additionally benefit customers, suppliers and employees.

    Substantial completion of the build-out is set for mid-December 2020, and the scheduled move-in date is targeted for January 2021. Open house events will be announced closer to the move-in date.

    MOBILTEX introduces the CorTalk RMU1 LITE, a robust and purposefully engineered device that enables pipeline operators to quickly and easily automate the collection and transmission of pipe-to-soil potential measurement data from Cathodic Protection (CP) test stations in virtually any location.

    ​​​The CorTalk RMU1 LITE is derived from the field-proven CorTalk RMU1 device and is an ideal solution to cost-effectively achieve high-volume deployment to CP test stations and empower corrosion engineers to leverage IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) remote monitoring. 

    The battery-powered CorTalk RMU1 LITE transmits data by cellular or satellite networks, eliminating the need to physically visit CP test stations to obtain annual pipe-to-soil potential measurements. Test stations are often in remote, difficult-to-reach sites, exposing technicians to hazards in isolated locations, mountainous regions, swamps, airport or train right-of-ways, high-voltage infrastructure, and more. As regulations continue to expand, pipeline operators will be under increasing scrutiny to prove their infrastructure is adequately protected and stay within operational budgets – the RMU1 LITE is the future of regulatory compliance. 

    The CorTalk RMU1 LITE offers user-selectable intervals, greatly enhancing the amount of pipe-to-soil data that is automatically collected. Pipeline operators can take advantage of this capability to collect multiple measurements throughout the year, providing a richer data set to understand seasonal variations and short-term operating irregularities that can negatively impact CP system performance.  

    “Millions of CP test stations are installed on pipeline assets throughout North America and much of the data is only collected annually in a time-consuming, manual process,” said Marc Bracken, CEO. “MOBILTEX developed the CorTalk RMU1 LITE to bring pipe-to-soil potential measurement into the IIoT world with a fit-for-purpose design and an affordable price for large-scale deployment. Benefits are realized in many areas including safety, operational efficiency, and providing engineers access to a much richer and complete dataset in order to improve CP performance and, ultimately, better protect assets and infrastructure. We’re confident pipeline operators will quickly see tremendous value with an investment in CorTalk RMU1 LITE devices.” 

    Data that is transmitted by the RMU1 LITE, and other MOBILTEX remote monitoring devices, is received and stored by CorView, a powerful cloud-based software platform. CorView delivers measurement data, creates trending graphs and reports, and automatically sends alerts if measurements received from the RMU1 LITE are outside of set thresholds or if data is not received at scheduled intervals.
