RIO DE JANEIRO – Brazil's sprawling landscape and complex logistics have long posed a significant hurdle for its massive liquid propane gas (LPG) industry. Now, one global tech leader is stepping in with a solution that promises to revolutionize how energy is managed and delivered across the nation.
Anova, a titan in the world of industrial Internet of Things (IoT) solutions and tank monitoring, has officially set its sights on Brazil. The company is poised to make a grand entrance by launching a powerful suite of technologies designed to bring unprecedented efficiency and intelligence to the country's propane sector. This strategic move is set to be a major highlight at the upcoming Liquid Gas Week 2025, held in Rio de Janeiro this September.
At the heart of this expansion is the Universal Tank Monitor (UTM), a rugged and highly accurate device engineered to monitor propane levels in a wide array of storage configurations. But the hardware is just the beginning. The UTM seamlessly integrates with Unify, Anova's sophisticated cloud platform. This powerful combination gives businesses a real-time command center to oversee their entire tank inventory, accurately forecast customer demand, and slash operational costs by optimizing delivery routes.
To put this power directly into the hands of field staff and end-users, Anova is also rolling out its Connect and Go mobile applications, creating a fully integrated ecosystem from the tank to the smartphone. The entire platform will be officially unveiled to the Brazilian market during the prestigious event hosted by the World Liquid Gas Association (WLGA) from September 22-26.
Alexis Ateca, Anova's Vice President of Product Development and Marketing, highlighted the strategic importance of the move. "Brazil is a key market for propane, with unique logistical challenges," Ateca stated. "By bringing the UTM, Unify, and our mobile applications, we are providing local distributors with the advanced tools they need to overcome these hurdles, enhance safety, and improve their bottom line. This is about transforming data into a decisive competitive advantage."
This launch marks a pivotal moment for Brazil's energy logistics. By introducing a smart, connected infrastructure, Anova isn't just selling a product; it's offering a new blueprint for operational excellence. For distributors struggling with inefficiency and unpredictable demand, this technological infusion could be the game-changer they've been waiting for, promising a future of smarter, leaner, and more profitable operations.
