The Challenge
Averting a power outage
Aggreko’s Remote Operations Center (ROC) received an emergency low-fuel alarm from an Aggreko generator being used by a nationally known cable sports network. Aggreko Remote Monitoring (ARM) embedded in the generator flagged that the fuel level had dropped to 14% — while the network was covering the annual Pilot Pen Tennis Tournament in Connecticut. In the event of an outage, the entire tournament broadcast team — including the production trucks and camera crew — would be without power. Meaning the entire event production would go offline.
