According to the company, Anova UTM meets the need for a global, affordable tank monitor that works with multiple tanks simultaneously and future-proofs communications by working over a wide variety of communication networks and carriers, including LTE CAT-M1, automatically switching to the strongest network signal.

“We know that profitability in the propane distribution business jumps exponentially when tanks are monitored,” says Chet Reshamwala, CEO of Anova. “Our Anova UTM opens the door for distributors to better manage the cost of monitoring with a multi-tank capability, to gain new efficiencies with versatile and global communications support, and to drive new efficiencies with comprehensive reporting, alerts and ease of installation.”

“As a digitalization partner to the industry, it is our job to ease the path to profitability in fuel distribution, and we are achieving this with advanced, trusted technology, powerful software analytics, slick mobile apps and cost-effective options, such as our easy Hardware-as-a-Service monthly subscription offering,” adds Dillan Fernando, head of the LPG, Fuels and Lubricants Business Unit at Anova.
