The potential savings for clients are contingent upon the package they select. By and large, clients who subscribe to our monitoring services, which incorporate the following, can expect extended generator lifespans, identification of opportunities for fuel savings based on their industry and energy requirements, lower maintenance expenses, decreased costs for call-outs and after-hours work, diminished dependence on maintenance management resources, and elimination of load testing expenses. Additionally, clients can avoid the opportunity cost of a generator failing to start.Clients who opt-in on our management services benefit from our load management expertise that helps clients protect their generators from over or under-utilisation, while our refuelling planning and governance help clients avoid refuelling from taking place too early, have access to benchmarked contractors at fair rates and have a prioritised diesel supply agreement in place.  ## ### What are the long-term advantages of utilising the service? In the long run, our clients can anticipate a reduced need for staffing, a prolonged lifespan of their generator fleet, and the prevention of one significant generator failure per generator every five years. Additionally, the accumulation of data over time results in improved maintenance and scheduling for clients and ensures that major generator services remain up-to-date. ## ### How does this differ from our guys going to check on the generator? Online monitoring is a more reliable, 24/7 service solution that offers realtime access to relevant data. Organisations that cannot afford downtime, such as hospitals and dairies, save on the costs of hiring people for the sole purpose of watching over their generators at night. Furthermore, the data collected is accurate and more detailed and allows for data trending, which empowers you to make informed decisions about your generators.  ## ### What controllers are the hardware compatible with? Our hardware is compatible with most controllers. ## ### Does Pragma’s Asset Performance Management service integrate with other asset types or just generators? Yes, the service is also offered on switchgear and transformers. We’re currently working on a solution for fridges and HVAC. Contact us if you would like to become part of our pilot project.  ## ### Can Pragma secure a diesel supply with the service? We can assist clients in getting prioritised diesel supply agreements with our fuel production partners.   ## ### Do we have contractors on our books that can “help” with generator maintenance? Yes, we have a vetted database of contractors with predefined rates to ensure our clients can access refuelling and maintenance specialists at fair prices.  ## ### Who will do the installation? We can install the hardware on your behalf, or if you have skilled resources on-site, your team can install the hardware.  ## ### How will we receive notifications? We can facilitate notifications via SMS, email or Telegram. We do not send notifications via WhatsApp because WhatsApp has a group size limit.  ## ### How many people can get the notifications? We do not limit the number of people who can receive notifications.  ## ### Do you notify clients in case of fuel theft? Yes, clients receive a notification when a sudden drop in fuel level occurs, which could indicate theft. ## ### Do you notify clients in case of battery theft? Yes, clients receive a notification when a battery is disconnected.  ## ### Can the service be scaled for clients with many generators to be more cost-effective? Yes, contact us to discuss your specific needs.  ### Projects and success stories ##### Upgrading a back up generator using IIoT technologies Read more about how our Asset Health Management team brought an older generator into the digital age with IIoT. ##### Shell Ultra City generators replaced at end of life As backup generators become more and more critical to conducting business in South Africa, getting the most of these assets is critical. This case study shows how our team went about replacing four generators at Shell Ultra Cities in South Africa and the value delivered during the process. ##### Aiding a municipality in monitoring and managing more than 200 generators In this case study, we illustrate how our Asset Performance Management for Generators solution assists a South African municipality in taking control and proactively managing more than 200 generators ranging from 30kVa to 2000kVA. ### Resources Brochure | Asset Health Management on Generators (pdf | 0 bytes)* Other resources ... ### Contact the specialist ##### Rhynard Prins Business Development Manager Email me LinkedIn ### Other solutions Asset Performance Management Switchgear APM Asset Care Service Focused Improvement × #### Email
