Three North American utilities are to deploy Ubisense's gas leak detection software to improve real-time surveying of over 11,500 miles of natural gas distribution and transmission pipelines.They are the first deals of Ubisense's VeroTrack product following the integration of the InMaps acquisition made in September 2011.
"Ubisense VeroTrack automatically tracks what was surveyed where, by whom and when," said Richard Green, Ubisense CEO. "And it does so with a 15-20 per cent cost savings over current manual processes."
Ubisense has to date been more readily associate with its manufacturing and assembly tools, but Green has always stated there is a broad range of applications for its real-time location solutions.
"We are pleased with the traction Ubisense Vero Track is receiving – the feedback we have had from customers has been positive and we expect the momentum to continue across our Geospatial offering," said Green.
Ubisense says the VeroTrack software increases surveying efficiency by 20 per cent by allowing users to automatically track and mark progress, highlight problem areas, and store the data for quick retrieval, while also automatically highlighting facilities surveyed and recording gas detector readings.
