Dialog Enterprise, the corporate ICT solutions arm of Dialog Axiata PLC, recently unveiled a timely technological solution to monitor and measure fuel and energy consumption with precision.
Developed in partnership with the University of Moratuwa Research Laboratory and rigorously tested and used on Dialog’s own base stations, the solution was released ahead of schedule to help organisations efficiently manage their fuel usage and consumption.
Based on the Internet of Things (IoT) technology, this solution uses multiple sensor types to record and showcase information in systems in real time, 24/7 and alerts the users via SMS, email, or the web when critical thresholds are reached.
The solution also offers users a wide range of options to trigger alerts based on their security clearance and allows them to view the status of all their currently operational vehicles on one dashboard.
Dialog has successfully used this IoT solution at locations where its towers are placed which brought about several benefits including reductions in maintenance and manpower cost, the elimination of fuel fraud, better visibility of energy consumed, improved overall efficiency and reductions in waste. The data gathered from this solution also proved to be beneficial in future planning.
This futuristic fuel and energy consumption monitoring solution has been developed in line with Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) compliance and has greatly helped Dialog engineers to overcome their day-to-day struggles in maintaining uninterrupted power and connectivity during times of fuel shortage.
