The Challenge
The biggest challenge for Telular was ensuring that they collected the right data from their connected devices to provide value to their customers. With the vast amount of data available, it was crucial to minimize distractions and focus on the most relevant information. Additionally, Telular needed to transition from hardware-oriented discussions to delivering real value through recurring services and the power of the information obtained from connected devices. This required efficient data management and the ability to provide actionable insights to their customers.
About The Customer
Telular Corporation is a company that develops products and services leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to provide connectivity services across various industries, including trucking, security, and bulk storage management. With nearly three decades of experience in connecting people and machines through cellular networks, Telular has evolved to focus on collecting data and providing intelligence to their customers. The company operates multiple business units, such as SkyBitz for asset tracking, TankLink for the oil and gas industry, and Telguard for interactive alarm systems. Telular's mission is to deliver value and intelligence using smart connected devices, helping their customers make informed decisions and optimize their operations.
The Solution
Telular implemented Jasper's Control Center to manage their connected devices, focusing on three main areas: back-end systems, technical support, and rate plan management. The Control Center's Spotlight feature provided invaluable real-time insights and deep diagnostics, enabling Telular to quickly identify and resolve issues. Integration APIs allowed seamless activation and deactivation of units, while web services APIs enabled Telular to adapt their rate plan structure to changing conditions, optimizing costs. The partnership with Jasper facilitated Telular's expansion into new markets, providing a consistent interface across different carriers and simplifying the integration process. This collaboration allowed Telular to enhance their support functions, improve operational efficiencies, and deliver greater value to their customers.

Taking Oil and Gas Exploration to the Next Level
DownUnder GeoSolutions (DUG) wanted to increase computing performance by 5 to 10 times to improve seismic processing. The solution must build on current architecture software investments without sacrificing existing software and scale computing without scaling IT infrastructure costs.
Case Study
Remote Wellhead Monitoring
Each wellhead was equipped with various sensors and meters that needed to be monitored and controlled from a central HMI, often miles away from the assets in the field. Redundant solar and wind generators were installed at each wellhead to support the electrical needs of the pumpstations, temperature meters, cameras, and cellular modules. In addition to asset management and remote control capabilities, data logging for remote surveillance and alarm notifications was a key demand from the customer. Terra Ferma’s solution needed to be power efficient, reliable, and capable of supporting high-bandwidth data-feeds. They needed a multi-link cellular connection to a central server that sustained reliable and redundant monitoring and control of flow meters, temperature sensors, power supply, and event-logging; including video and image files. This open-standard network needed to interface with the existing SCADA and proprietary network management software.

Refinery Saves Over $700,000 with Smart Wireless
One of the largest petroleum refineries in the world is equipped to refine various types of crude oil and manufacture various grades of fuel from motor gasoline to Aviation Turbine Fuel. Due to wear and tear, eight hydrogen valves in each refinery were leaking, and each cost $1800 per ton of hydrogen vented. The plant also had leakage on nearly 30 flare control hydrocarbon valves. The refinery wanted a continuous, online monitoring system that could catch leaks early, minimize hydrogen and hydrocarbon production losses, and improve safety for maintenance.

Airport SCADA Systems Improve Service Levels
Modern airports are one of the busiest environments on Earth and rely on process automation equipment to ensure service operators achieve their KPIs. Increasingly airport SCADA systems are being used to control all aspects of the operation and associated facilities. This is because unplanned system downtime can cost dearly, both in terms of reduced revenues and the associated loss of customer satisfaction due to inevitable travel inconvenience and disruption.
