HOUSTON, Texas, Sept. 1, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Andium, an expert resource for proven IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) remote-field monitoring and communications technologies, has been announced by Inc. Magazine as No. 200 on the Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies.
"We're very proud to be recognized by Inc. for our vision of using IIoT to empower forward-thinking leaders to address a wide range of industrial challenges," says Andium CEO Jory Schwach. "Our next-gen remote monitoring and AI solutions are allowing industrial players to bring even their most antiquated systems into the Industry 4.0 revolution."
Using IIoT to Build A Smarter World
Andium's products are empowering its clients, including some of the world's top 10 energy companies, to operate more cost-effectively, safely and sustainably. From flare tracking to thermal tank telemetry, Andium is saving oil and gas clients millions of dollars annually, while helping them reduce their carbon footprint and increase the safety of their personnel on a daily basis.
For context, the cost of methane leaks is an estimated $2 billion per year and 13 million metric tons – enough natural gas to fuel 10 million homes. Energy Security Council, a Houston-based security group, has estimated a 1 to 3 percent loss rate of crude oil due to theft, at a cost of about $2.1 billion per year.
To help energy companies avoid methane leaks and other costly losses, Andium's technology is able to bring connectivity and visibility to even the most remote field sites without the need for an infrastructure overhaul.
"In about 60 days, our ability to communicate with field techs at wells sites shifted from 40 percent of its wells to 90 percent," reported one of Andium's global energy clients. "And that connectivity—from a remote, unconnected field tech to one who can communicate instantly with experts in the office—has spawned a sea change in the company's ability to get expertise to the wellhead."
Empowering Leaders to Create Meaningful Change
Schwach founded Andium on the premise that with the right team, he could provide industrial leaders with the tools they needed to bring about meaningful change without overhauling their entire operations. Rather than requiring companies to invest in complicated and cost-prohibitive infrastructure to enhance their operations and drive data to the cloud, Schwach devised a way to bring cost-effective digital intelligence directly to the field.
"We understand that one of the fundamental keys to empowering leaders in any industry is unwavering end-to-end support," says COO Ari Nielsen. "The client is the ultimate expert in their field. They shouldn't also need to be an expert in IIoT."
