Digital solution enables continuous fleet and equipment monitoring
Vivo Energy, the pan-African retailer and marketer of Shell and Engen-branded fuels and lubricants, has announced the launch of its new VE-CEM continuous equipment monitoring solution, powered by Digital Twin technology from its partner, Intangles.
VE-CEM obtains real-time data from the electronic control unit, or ECU, to provide actionable insights into systems such as the engine, aftertreatment, brakes, battery and alternator, air intake, as well as driver behaviour.
The new offer is suitable for the transport and logistics, mining, construction, and agriculture sectors and aims to help reduce downtime, cut maintenance costs, improve fleet availability, and enhance operational decisions.
“With VE-CEM, our customers will be able to predict issues before they happen – slashing costs, boosting productivity, and gaining greater confidence in their operations. This new offer will deliver real value where it matters most: keeping fleets and equipment working reliably, day after day,” said Vivo Energy CEO Stan Mittelman.
The solution is designed to be easy to install using a compact device that connects directly into the vehicle or machinery. Once connected, customers can access predictive insights on a secure platform accessible from any device.
Engen GM: commercial Sharveen Maharaj added: “Our commercial customers face real pressures: tight margins, high equipment maintenance costs, and rising expectations around safety and sustainability. VE-CEM provides something they have long needed – the ability not just to monitor, but to predict equipment failures and take action before a breakdown ever occurs. That foresight changes the game. It turns maintenance into a strategic advantage, reduces costs, lowers fuel consumption, and improves fleet availability.”
