Case Study: Tata Communications achieves smarter gas distribution and major cost savings with Contus IoT solutions

Tata Communications cuts gas distribution costs 5X with Contus

Tata Communications, a major multinational telecom company, sought to implement a robust IoT framework to manage gas distribution in Mumbai. Their challenges included monitoring gas leaks and faults remotely, developing systems to detect both personal and commercial leaks, and integrating IoT for automated billing and consumption tracking. They partnered with vendor Contus to address these requirements.

Contus engineered a solution using LoRaWAN technology, creating an IoT-enabled framework that managed daily consumption and provided automated machine readings. This system generated individual customer reports, fetched GPS data for device location, and archived data for over a year. According to Tata Communications, the Contus solution resulted in a 5X cost reduction in gas distribution, a 15X reduction in data loss, and over 100,000 man-hours saved annually.
