Case Study:
Canadian Advanced Inc., Edmonton, Canada

Leading the pack with quality

Summary

Canadian Advanced Inc. is the only manufacturer in Canada that produces Electric Submersible Pumps, used in the oil and gas industry.

This Edmonton start-up has overcome significant hurdles to achieve a high level of success. Their secret - a high-quality product that differentiates them in the marketplace.

By working with Advanced Measurements, Canadian Advanced has been able to dramatically improve their crucial testing process. The pumps manufactured by the company are now 100% tested and ready for the harsh 'downhole' environment where mistakes are costly and quality assurance is paramount.

Details

Problem

Canadian Advanced needed to perform quantitative analysis on customer pumps both before and after the rebuild process. They required:

• A custom-designed control and monitoring system that could be loosely defined at the start, then more precisely defined later as the mechanical system was being built.
• A solution that was flexible, accurate and able to provide test result comparisons with API published performance curves.

Solution

Advanced Measurements created a low cost, highly flexible solution to improve their testing process:

• Advanced Measurements built a custom control and monitoring system
• System was implemented on-site to interface directly with a mechanical test bench designed by Canadian Advanced.

The solution has provided Canadian Advanced with:

• The ability to collect operator-independent test results.
• The ability to print and e-mail full-color reports.
• The ability to archive test results in a database for future reference.
• A strict quality assurance program, enabling them to assert their presence in a highly competitive industry.

Benefits

As a result of working with Advanced Measurements, Canadian Advanced has been able to dramatically improve testing on their Electric Submersible Pumps, thereby reducing costs. Specifically, the benefits have included:

• A decrease in the amount of time used by operators to gather test results, and a dramatic increase in efficiency.
• An increase in the quality and availability of information, allowing Canadian Advanced to prove the quality of their product to customers and differentiate themselves from competitors.

It's obvious that the solution provided by Advanced Measurements has had a positive effect on the success of Canadian Advanced, allowing them to prove themselves as a start-up company in a highly competitive industry.
