Off-grid energy distributors improve efficiency, sustainability and reduce costs in the following ways Real-time asset monitoring.
SHV Energy and Sigfox are launching a global liquid petroleum gas tank level monitoring solution.
The project has been implemented in France, Belgium and Germany, and has already produced lower carbon emissions and improved customer satisfaction. In the next three years, 50,000 units will be launched globally. Sigfox’s IoT (Internet of Things) asset monitoring function enables SHV Energy To reduce costs Oil tank level monitoring, Improve efficiency and productivity at the same time.
SHV Energy is the world’s leading distributor of off-grid energy such as LPG, LNG, biofuels and renewable energy. It has 30 million customers and 16,700 employees in 25 countries/regions. 0G network pioneer Sigfox cooperates.
SHV Energy has established a telemetry center of excellence and used Sigfox’s solutions and partner Aton SB SpA to provide a homogeneous global solution for tank level monitoring, providing complex data analysis and connected smart devices Daily fuel tank level reading. SHV Energy can now optimize delivery routes and schedules, and improve sustainability by reducing the company’s carbon footprint.
In addition, Sigfox-based solutions are more cost-effective than cellular alternatives. The savings stem from low-cost components, no SIM card, and moderate connection costs.
Simon Gilchrist, SHV Energy’s global project leader, explained:
“Data collection is critical to the success of our business. With the Sigfox solution, our efforts to simplify this process have been greatly promoted. We are now able to collect information at a very low cost, which makes for a wider global rollout Homogeneous storage tank monitoring system.”
“Sigfox exceeded our expectations. Its network and technology partners will help achieve our strategic goal of making the most of telemetry capabilities.”
“In terms of providing connectivity solutions with direct environmental benefits, the global Sigfox 0G network was delivered again. In multiple regions, with the support of our Sigfox operators, our SHV energy solution helps reduce carbon dioxide emissions because of remote tanks Position monitoring ultimately reduces the number of overall site visits and eliminates unnecessary visits,” Ian Terblanche, senior vice president of global sales at Sigfox added.
