Did you know that our gas analysis equipment is used on many of the satellites orbiting the Earth to gather data on atmospheric gases? Fitting this same equipment to Santa’s sleigh would help him to gather valuable data that could be used to help tackle climate change.
With Santa's toy manufacturing all year around, it is important for him to stay on top of his emission monitoring to reduce any harmful impact to the environment and remain compliant. That is why he relies on ABB's Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS), combined with our digital solutions such as ABB Ability™ Genix Datalyzer and ABB Ability™ Condition Monitoring for measurement devices, he can minimize his impact on the environment while keeping a close eye on the health status of his equipment.
Closer to the ground, as he makes stops in urban and suburban areas, Santa can help to protect the environment and improve air quality with ABB’s latest mobile gas leak detection technology. ABB Ability™ Gas leak detection is our world-class laser analyzers, Santa uses this solution to measure methane emissions wherever he finds them, whether they’re from the gas pipelines that crisscross the globe or his own reindeer.
It can be handheld, vehicle mounted, or even sleigh-mounted to detect natural gas leaks at speeds of up to 55mph/88km/h. Equipped with this technology, Santa can check that emissions from every chimney on his journey are within regulations.
For Santa’s reindeer team, working flat out all night can work up a serious thirst. Santa therefore needs to know that he can count on a ready supply of water wherever and whenever he needs it. Luckily, when it comes to water measurement, our AquaMaster4 flowmeters provide the highest levels of accuracy, enabling Santa to get up to the minute data on water availability.
With the global ABB service network, there is support all over the world that is ready with spare parts, training, commissioning, upgrades or retrofits to help Santa and the elves perform the maintenance required. With a range of service contract options available, Santa can also rest assured that expert help and assistance with spare parts will always be on hand, no matter where he is on his journey.
Making his list and checking it twice has never been easier for Santa now that he is running his operation as efficiently as possible. His fully connected enterprise can now rely on accurate, up-to-the-minute measurements of a range of parameters, with the added benefits of advanced data analysis to help him spot any areas for improvements.
Merry-making, made easy.
