The company has leveraged its core
gas detection technology and connected
it with a cloud analytics
package. This enables oil producers to
then conduct Leak Detection and
Repair (LDAR) work, which often takes
places in remote areas. The industry is
shifting from using portable technologies
that an individual would carry to
technology that is connected to the
internet, such as data logging, GPS
and the cloud. “We still have portable
platforms, but connected portable
platforms. We have mobile platforms
where we have vehicles that drive
around a city network, and we have
aerial platforms like drones and UAVs,”
says Tuttle. The CEO highlights the
introduction of connected methane
sensors placed amongst city grids,
available on a 24/7 basis.
However, the role of analytics has
a much greater presence in the
company’s overall business strategy.
