In December of last year, SARS Corp acquired the UtilityEye™ from Andronics, Ltd. This breakthrough technology remotely monitors propane and butane gas tank levels via satellite. The UtilityEye LPG system can monitor tanks both above and below ground. It is ideal for commercial and residential tanks and identifies fuel levels as well as sends utility notifications when a tank is filled and/or transmits alarms when fuel levels drop to a predetermined level.
After visiting some of the world’s largest propane suppliers, SARS has increased its projected 2008 sales of its UtilityEye™ system to $16 million, which amounts to delivering a total of 25,000 monitoring units. The company is hoping to deliver the additional units to key customers during the summer months when the weather is more advantageous for installations.
The company is excited about delivering the UtilityEye to the industry as stated by Clayton Shelver, CEO of SARS, “Our meetings with the world’s major propane suppliers have demonstrated a great opportunity to leverage SARS® UtilityEye two-way data solutions for monitoring and managing remote assets, specifically vehicles and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) tanks in Europe, North America and South America.”
He also added, “The application of this technology has generated worldwide interest. The ability to remotely measure LPG levels in propane tanks can reduce delivery costs significantly. In many cases the return-on-investment can be less than 18 months.”
SARS’ line of services also includes the SARS Tracpoint®, a solution that uses General Packet Radio Service and satellite technologies to track and monitor the movement and location of vehicles.
