ExcelSense Technologies Is proud to announce our partnership with Ensol Systems who specialize in building rugged, reliable clean power systems that are field proven and purpose-built for the most challenging off-grid industrial locations. With their vast expertise in fabricating, manufacturing and electrical design, Ensol Systems continually develop innovative solutions of the highest caliber that are considerate of the environment. Whether it is power, communication, security or technology, Ensol team develops a custom solution, which fits their customers’ specific needs. ExcelSense is excited to announce that Ensol Systems is a distributor and exclusive custom package integrator of their ToughEye™ cameras for remote power systems.

ToughEye™ is a self-cleaning camera which can operate in dirty, oily, wet and dusty environments continuously. The camera self-cleans using a patented technology, similar to the blink of an eye, without requiring any water or detergents against abrasive dust, mud and grease. Its reliability and effectiveness has led to ToughEye™ being used in 14 unique categories of applications in mining, material handling terminals, forestry and manufacturing in Canada, USA, Australia and South Africa. The applications range from autonomous/regular haul truck vision to material transfer points and mining drills.

“With the push towards industrial automation, we see an increasing need for remote cameras and sensors in rugged industrial environments. The challenge has always been that sensors deployed in dirty environments required frequent human intervention, limiting their usability. The ToughEye™ is truly a first of its kind technology and has been designed specifically to address this issue. We’ve seen the positive impact it’s had at Teck’s Greenhills operation where now every haul truck is equipped with a ToughEye™ camera. We believe the ToughEye™ will quickly become a critical component of industrial automation projects and we’re excited to work with ExcelSense to bring this solution to a wider market.” - Jim Brasset, Ensol Systems

Existing solutions fail to alleviate the vulnerability of cameras to extremely dirty environments, leading to the poor performance of even the best designed monitoring systems. With ToughEye™, no maintenance is required for the life of the camera. There is no requirement for fluid tanks, hoses, pumps or nozzles, reducing maintenance and points of failure. In addition to its revolutionary self-cleaning lens, ToughEye™ can operate in the coldest and hottest places on earth as well as under conditions of high vibration and shock.

“We are excited to see such a strong alignment between Ensol’s and ExcelSense’s missions, which is about ensuring operational visibility without adding the burden of additional regular maintenance or external infrastructure. Ensol’s remote power stations provide reliable power for months without maintenance; the value to the customer can only be maximized when Ensol’s solution is paired with a maintenance-free sensor. Leveraging the strong industry presence and proven track record of Ensol will help to expand the reach of ToughEye™, elevating the reliability of industrial automation.” - Nima Nabavi, ExcelSense Technologies.
