SHV Energy is a leading global distributor of off-grid energy
such as LPG, LNG and is active in the area of biofuels and
renewable energy solutions. It supplies gas under brands, including
Calor Gas, Gaspol, Liquigas, Pinnacle, Primagas, and Primagaz
across four continents.
The company will fit smart devices to both legacy and new gas
tanks, along with an antennae and a magnet mechanism that measures
the gas. Each of these smart telemetry devices includes an Orange
global SIM, which transfers data to SHV Energy’s offices via the
Orange global mobile network. There the data is collected and
analyzed to ensure that a customer’s gas tank is never empty. SHV
Energy is also alerted if the tank registers any malfunction or
leak. The data is also used to optimize gas delivery routes to
reduce the company’s carbon footprint.
“The move toward smart metering and the deployment of digital
functionalities are critical in delivering the best possible
service in supplying gas to our customer base. With this innovative
IoT connectivity solution from Orange Business Services we can
increase the flexibility, reliability and robustness of our
network, and become greener in the process,” explains Marieke
Schoningh, SHV Energy Management Board Member.
Orange’s global mobile network is enhanced by an alliance of
operators and more than 500 roaming agreements. This ensures that
data gets to the data platform at SHV Energy’s offices fast,
efficiently and securely. In addition, Orange provides value-added
services, such as service and implementation management, to
accompany SHV throughout its entire IoT journey. Orange Business
Services was positioned as a Leader in Gartner's 2019 "Magic
Quadrant for Managed IoT Connectivity Services, Worldwide."
“Connectivity is a key enabler of IoT. SHV Energy’s smart
monitoring deployment is an excellent example of how a company can
use our IoT connectivity solution to connect devices safely and
reliably to transport data for actionable business insight and
build a successful IoT-enabled business,” says Fabrice de Windt,
senior vice president, Europe, Orange Business Services.
