Shell and TWTG sign global software agreement
13/01/2023
Dutch Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solution provider TWTG has secured an enterprise framework agreement to supply its vibration analytics solution to Shell Information Technology International BV. Only months after delivering 2500 wireless NEON Vibration Sensors to Shell Energy and Chemicals Park Rotterdam, the pioneering scale-up has reinforced the position of industry innovators by securing a precious global agreement to supply the company’s vibration application.
The monitoring solution forms part of SolidRed, TWTG’s IIoT middleware, designed to provide engineers with invaluable, ultra-precise insight into rotating equipment, retrofitted with TWTG’s NEON sensors. The application interprets data collected from on-site assets and provides operators with a visualisation of the full-spectrum vibration analysis from any remote monitor within Shell’s closed system.
John Tillema, CTO and founder at TWTG, believes this agreement is the perfect next step for Shell after the initial NEON vibration sensor roll-out.
“It demonstrates Shell’s trust in TWTG’s capabilities as both a device manufacturer and a solution supplier. We are honoured and super proud to support Shell in its journey towards the digital future.”
For Shell engineers who need to know more than simply the RMS velocity and RMS acceleration data, the data application creates far greater insight by transforming raw data into tangible, workable information.
Additionally, although lacking the specialist insight achievable via NEON products, the interoperability, openness and ease of SolidRed still permits engineers to retrieve, combine, analyse or redirect data from most other third-party LoRaWAN sensors. The vibration application roll-out sits within Shell’s current IT architecture and TWTG’s open approach to development ensured the easy integration with other systems, including Shell’s sensor.
