The energy industry is experiencing a period of transformation, and it’s estimated that to reach net-zero, global spending on physical assets in the transition would amount to about $275 trillion between 2021 and 2050.  However, replacing current energy assets and equipment can be costly, time-consuming, and inefficient. Retrofitting legacy energy assets with IoT technology can help track their impact and improve their efficiency. In this article, we will discuss the importance of connectivity for energy retrofit and how it can be achieved.
 

Retrofitting legacy assets with industrial IoT technology is a game-changer, but it relies on the quality of data collected. To collect timely data, connectivity is essential. The ability to remotely monitor energy assets, such as chemical processing equipment and pumps, can be achieved by using sensor technology. 

 

However, poor connectivity remains a significant challenge in many remote and hard-to-reach areas where energy assets are located. This is where Krucial CONNECT can help.
