If you’ve ever managed heat tracing in an industrial facility, you already know the challenge: having data isn’t the same as managing the system effectively. That’s where Raychem SmartTrace comes in. Raychem SmartTrace is designed to help facilities move beyond basic monitoring and toward actionable heat trace management—improving reliability, reducing unnecessary work, and lowering overall operating costs.
Raychem SmartTrace is a cloud-based platform that combines two key capabilities:
Heat trace monitoring
Heat trace management
While these are often grouped together, they solve very different problems.
Raychem SmartTrace monitoring provides real-time visibility into your heat trace system. With monitoring, you can:
View the status of heat trace controllers remotely
Receive alarms and notifications
Adjust configurations without being in the field
In many ways, it replicates the experience of standing in front of a controller. But while monitoring tells you what’s happening, it doesn’t tell you what to do next.
In most facilities, heat trace systems generate a high volume of alarms and alerts. Without context, this creates two common challenges:
Teams react to alarm volume, not priority
Maintenance work becomes inefficient or duplicated
The result? More work, more cost, and not necessarily better reliability.
Raychem SmartTrace management builds on monitoring by turning data into decisions.
Instead of treating every alarm equally, Raychem SmartTrace:
This shifts the focus from managing alarms to protecting operations.
Raychem SmartTrace integrates with systems like SAP and Maximo to provide visibility into:
This helps eliminate duplicate work and ensures teams act on the right issues at the right time.
Additional tools help track:
The result is a clearer, more accurate view of system health.
When used together, Raychem SmartTrace monitoring and management deliver measurable impact:
This is where facilities typically see the greatest value - not just in visibility, but in operational efficiency.
Because Raychem SmartTrace is cloud-based, it removes many of the limitations of traditional systems.
Instead of being tied to a single workstation:
This broader access improves collaboration and speeds up response times.
Raychem SmartTrace is designed for simple, cost-effective deployment.
Key advantages include:
This makes it well-suited for both centralized and remote facilities.
Heat tracing is critical to protecting process systems—but managing it efficiently has always been a challenge.
Raychem SmartTrace addresses that challenge by combining:
The result is a system that not only shows you what’s happening - but helps you act on it.
