Intangles Solves the Mystery Behind Tanker Fire
Intangles’ advanced analytics and real-time monitoring capabilities provide critical insights that prevent catastrophic incidents, ensuring safety and operational continuity for industrial fleets.
Situation
A tanker belonging to one of our key customers in the industrial gases sector caught fire, resulting in significant damage. Despite stringent safety standards, this incident raised serious concerns about potential lapses in vehicle maintenance and safety protocols. The incident occurred during mid-afternoon when the tanker, fortunately unloaded, could have led to a severe disaster.
Solution
After the organization’s internal investigation yielded inconclusive results, they turned to Intangles. Utilizing our Digital Twin platform, which integrates real-time data insights, we conducted an independent analysis. Our device, transmitting operational data even during the fire, allowed us to accurately assess the vehicle’s condition prior to the incident.
Success
Intangles’ analysis revealed that the fire was caused by a short circuit in the auxiliary wiring, not by any faults within the engine or battery-alternator assembly as initially suspected. This insight corrected the initial misdiagnosis and confirmed that the internal vehicle mechanisms were not at fault, thereby upholding the organization’s high safety standards.
Outcome
The precise identification of the cause reassured the organization about the integrity of their safety and maintenance standards. As a result of our effective diagnostic capabilities, our devices were mandated for installation across the entire fleet and extended to the fleets of third-party vendors to prevent future incidents.
