CUMMINS INDIA LIMITED LAUNCHES DATUM IN COLLABORATION WITH REPOS ENERGY

Cummins India Limited announced the launch of DATUM (Data Automated Teller Ultimate Machine), an intelligent Fuel Management System, in collaboration with Repos Energy at CII EXCON 2023 at the Bengaluru International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). As a part of the collaboration, Cummins will market and distribute the DATUM range of products through its vast distribution network in India.

Currently, customers face multiple challenges while managing their fuel operations, including cumbersome procurement processes, fuel pilferage and adulteration, high dead-mileage operations, and unbalanced diesel inventory. Managing fuel requirements for multiple sites through conventional and manual processes locks working capital, contributing to a higher Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and lower profitability. DATUM addresses these customer challenges by offering a solution that enhances visibility into the downstream diesel value chain, driving cost and operational efficiency for its users.

DATUM leverages sensors and digital technologies to provide real-time updates on fuel inventory and consumption across multiple installations. The safe and certified smart fuel storage solution enables remote monitoring of fuel levels, sends alerts when fuel level is low, and facilitates 24x7 doorstep delivery of diesel, thereby enhancing the efficiency of operations while reducing its carbon footprint. The entire process, from fuel ordering to payment and invoicing, is digital. The customer benefits from reduced fuel procurement costs, improved management of diesel inventory, higher asset utilization, and assurance of the quality and quantity of fuel consumed. This has shown a direct reduction of up to 10% in fuel costs, coupled with a significant improvement in operational uptime.
