The Challenge
Veltum-Zaporozhye LLC was facing difficulties with their filling station located within the enterprise's territory. The filling station operator was recording the fillings in a paper logbook, which was time-consuming and insecure. Mistakes were often made while filling in the logbook, resulting in discrepancies between the values specified on paper and the actual amount of fuel given. Additionally, fuel was being dumped by drivers, and one fuel pump was out of order.
About The Customer
Veltum-Zaporozhye LLC is a company based in Ukraine that operates in the waste collection industry. The company has a filling station within its territory, which is used for its operations. The filling station was facing several issues, including time-consuming manual record-keeping, data insecurity, discrepancies in fuel records, fuel dumping by drivers, and malfunctioning fuel pumps.
The Solution
Gurtam partner, UMT, upgraded and repaired the fuel pump by adding a LED control panel, a keyboard for configuring the panel and specifying the fuel portion, an RFID scanner, and a SmartBox 5.02 GPS terminal that transfers all the information to Wialon. Each driver was given an RFID card, without which they would not be able to use the pump. If a driver is not listed in the device's memory, the pump will not work.

Improving Vending Machine Profitability with the Internet of Things (IoT)
The vending industry is undergoing a sea change, taking advantage of new technologies to go beyond just delivering snacks to creating a new retail location. Intelligent vending machines can be found in many public locations as well as company facilities, selling different types of goods and services, including even computer accessories, gold bars, tickets, and office supplies. With increasing sophistication, they may also provide time- and location-based data pertaining to sales, inventory, and customer preferences. But at the end of the day, vending machine operators know greater profitability is driven by higher sales and lower operating 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.
