DataCan Services Corporation

DataCan is a design, engineering and manufacturing team that specializes in creating products for down-hole tool data collection solutions.

After the 2006 oil crash, we began using James’ basement to meet and create downhole tools. Although the basement wasn’t our ideal workspace, we made it work- including using an old ping-pong table as a surface to stage our shipments.

We tried to combine the best of everything we each new independently and make the world's best product. We started from day 1 with a full ERP system. We wanted to make downhole pressure gauges that were easy to use and that actually worked. At the time, too many downhole electronic products had high failure rates. 

After being forced to move calibration out of the basement (thanks Katie!), we moved the ping pong table and our noisy calibration system into a MASSIVE 1,500 square foot commercial space, it seemed like a huge risk.

Slowly but surely, we began to develop new designs and the foundation for a healthy small business. A daring few joined us on our journey and the DataCan team was born. In 

Today, our family has grown into a team of almost fifty people. We occupy two offices in two countries with about 20,000 square feet of space (slightly bigger than a basement). We opened a branch in Houston, TX and were awarded Red Deer Canada’s “2019 Business of the Year”. Although we’ve changed a lot over the last fourteen years, one thing remains the same…
