Validere Introduces Mobile App and Smart Alerting Features to Streamline Data Collection and Emissions Quantification

businesswire | April 11, 2023

Validere, a measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) SaaS company, today announced the launch of its new mobile application and smart alerting features, which will connect field operators, executives, and their environmental teams responsible for responding to, quantifying, and reporting emissions events. The new app enables clients to create custom forms to fit the specific needs of their business. Teams can collect and integrate field data to fulfill key organizational functions like regulatory and voluntary workflows. This includes field inspection data (e.g., maintenance and leak information) and other operational data (e.g., truck tickets, field tests, product quality tests, etc.). With the app’s offline capabilities, users can submit data from the field using a phone or tablet, even when the device is disconnected from the internet. It will then automatically sync to the Validere platform once an internet connection is available. This enhanced connectivity removes the distance between the office and the field, simplifying workflows across the organization and giving managers and executives real-time data — backed by measurement science — to make accurate and timely emissions-related and operational decisions. “Companies are missing the connectivity of field data, operating conditions, and emissions measurements to achieve their carbon reduction and sustainability goals,” says Kayla Ball, Chief Product Officer at Validere. “We leverage our platform and our expertise in measurement science to quantify the magnitude of emissions events and improve confidence in operational decisions to reduce the time it takes to address them.” The new mobile app is set to launch on the Google Play Store for Android devices this month and on the Apple App Store for iOS devices in Q2 2023. In addition to the app, the new smart alerting feature helps users address emissions events or events outside of normal conditions by integrating all the relevant information from their field, operational, and emissions data into one place. Users can easily configure alerts to correlate information from both emissions systems and operational data sources. This allows them to track and contextualize emissions events to quickly address issues and quantify the associated emissions. Learn more about all the new features. "The release of these new features will help our customers focus on the true core issue: emissions quantification,” says Nouman Ahmad, Validere Co-Founder and CEO. "In order to make real progress with emissions reduction, core operational data must be linked together with an advanced ecosystem of technology to unlock true quantification." About Validere Validere is a measurement, reporting, and verification (MRV) SaaS company that helps energy organizations transform disconnected, incomplete data into clear and immediately actionable pathways to financial and environmental value. Over 50 of North America’s leading energy companies rely on Validere’s technology and multidisciplinary experts to understand their physical and environmental commodities and navigate an increasingly complex environment with clarity and ease.

MachNation’s Independent IoT Testing Platform Affirms the Reliability and Scalability of 1NCE’s Enterprise-grade Software

businesswire | April 17, 2023

MachNation, a global leader in testing and benchmarking Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, has completed a comprehensive evaluation of the newest IoT software from 1NCE, a global IoT connectivity and software company. 1NCE engaged MachNation’s Tempest to provide independent analysis of the resiliency, reliability, and quality of 1NCE OS, its enterprise-grade IoT software that’s available complimentary to customers using the company’s Lifetime Flat connectivity. In 2018, 1NCE set out to address the gap in the marketplace for low-data IoT use cases, which is estimated to be as high as 80 percent of all IoT projects. In 2023, the company expanded its software business with the launch of 1NCE OS, which was designed to deliver powerful IoT software tools that accelerate customers’ time-to-market without vendor lock-in or paying for unnecessary features packaged into most IoT platforms. MachNation conducted a variety of tests that realistically simulate connected devices using 1NCE’s software to process tens of millions of data messages to customers’ cloud accounts. MachNation’s Tempest tested 1NCE OS using multiple protocols: CoAP (for low-data, low-power devices) and CoAP with DTLS security (for low-data, low-power devices with encryption). In the latest test, in March 2023, 1NCE OS was observed to reliably allow the delivery of binary-encoded payloads to the cloud up to 750 messages per second (the equivalent to one message being sent by all 10,000 testing devices every 13.3 seconds) with a 0.000685 percent failure rate. And for JSON-encoded payloads, 1NCE OS reliably delivers up to 1,000 messages per second (the equivalent to one message being sent by all 10,000 testing devices every 10 seconds) with a failure rate of 0.000442 percent. Both types of payloads offer five nines of reliability (99.999%). For enterprises that place the strongest emphasis on security, the addition of Datagram Transport Layer Security (DTLS) is a must for any connected device, but issues frequently happen with data leakage and slow performance. In Tempest testing, MachNation determined that the application of DTLS, combined with the use of binary instead of text payloads, would have minimal impact on latency to the cloud. Steve Hilton, Co-Founder at MachNation, said: “1NCE OS software demonstrates enterprise-grade reliability and scalability for IoT devices, especially devices speaking useful protocols like CoAP. It has some of the best self-recovering code we have seen in the industry.” Ivo Rook, Chief Operating Officer at 1NCE: “With 1NCE OS, our software team set out to deliver clever tools that make IoT easier to use. MachNation’s testing results validate our work. It proves that we’re onto something big with our approach to exposing data to our customers and enabling them to manage the lifecycle of their connected products.” About 1NCE 1NCE is the only connectivity and software company providing IoT at a lifetime global flat rate. Our mission is to deliver true cross-border, future-proof IoT without uncertainty or hassle over the lifetime of a device.
