Nowadays, having a tank monitoring solution for customers is synonym of not to have to worry about ordering gas and fuel or running out.
For Oil & Gas companies that manage the gas and fuel of client’s tank, it’s a big convenience, they are able to extract more value from current operation by planning deliveries upfront.
Through a tank monitoring solution you can manage your operations with regular tank level updates. So, why expose yourself to the risk of another emergency delivery? Now, it is possible to know precisely how much your customers consume and exactly when and where to deliver.
According to LP Gas survey of retailers “propane gallon sales have increased over the last five years for 62 percent of retailers”.
Reliability Taken to the Extreme
Reliable monitoring systems for LPG and fuel tanks is a primary prerequisite for our customers. As evidenced in photographs published recently, the c.Log, designed by ISA, functioned perfectly in the State of Maine (USA) where the outside temperature was 17 degrees below zero F as well as submerged below 3 feet of ice. That is reliability even in extreme conditions.
c.Log is a multi-purpose autonomous remote management system that provides data logging, automatic meter and dial reading and alarm triggering. The device can be connected to several sensors, wired or wirelessly through an RTU (Remote Transmitter Unit). The received data is saved and forwarded to a cloud server via GSM, CDMA, and through SMS/GPRS, with a configurable sending frequency, from once a week up to, several times a day. With all these features fully operational while submerged under ice the question that arises can be only one: what more can be required?
“For more than 25 years, ISA has been inventing and designing products for the telemetry and remote monitoring solutions market. We have become experts in the downstream Oil and Gas sector. ISA has been delivering reliable and robust products perfected for a quarter of a century.”
This is how ISA is presented in the World LPG Association (WLPGA) site.
India state oil firms plan import 8.5 million – 8.9 million mt of LPG in fiscal 2015-2016 (April – March), up 6% to 11% from 8 million mt the previous fiscal year.
India was one major importer of several oil products such as diesel, and now only import LPG based in long term contracts from major Middle Eastern producers: Saudi Aramco, Qatar’s Tasweeq, Abu Dhabi Oil Co. and Kuwait Petroleum Corp.
The number of smart connected homes is expecting to grow from between 100 million and 200 million homes this year, and between 500 million and 700 million homes by 2020, this according to analyst firm Gartner. With this we can affirm that, although the smart connected home market is still emerging, he is rapidly increasing and is offering an incredible possibilities to the Internet of Things (IoT) companies entering in this market.
According to the view of Gartner, the companies are trying to develop the market to grab share in the home IoT opportunity. Whereby the home appliances have improved in smartness, cellular and cable connections be better and pricing declined, the desire or ability to monitor and control the home as a complete platform of devices and appliances has developed.
The smart homes solutions, are even taking advantage of the void and creating hubs that act as a central command system, using multiple communication protocols to connect to all of the smart devices in the home and connect to the world through the IoT gateway.
O’Donovan ends up concluding that ISPs will be the major benefiters from the emerging of the IoT gateway market. Besides the mobile phone providers are expected to gain also a small percentage of the market, because might not have a sufficient good technology to compete with ISPs. O’Donovan goes even further by making few considerations over the longer term, saying that there will be needed integrated devices or integrated hub and gateway solutions.
With twenty five years of expertise in telemetry, M2M and IoT, ISA – Intelligent Sensing Anywhere, as a smart home solutions provider (ISAhub), where customers can monitor simultaneously the energy consumption of their homes as well as the level of their gas tanks, is also following carefully this sort of reports and the trends for this market.
