UVS Secures Deal to Help Keep the Lights on in Tanzania

UVS, the control room video wall specialists, have won a deal which will help identify and prevent problems with the electricity generating network in Tanzania.

The company is working with TANESCO, the Tanzania Electric Supply Company Limited, via the Finnish integrator ELTEL, at its brand new monitoring and control centre in Dar es Salaam.

UVS is creating two video walls, each made up of eight of its 70-inch LED rear projection displays, which will be operating 24/7 to help keep the lights on in the East African country.

eyevis rear projection LED cubes are perfect for demanding environments such as control rooms. The service-friendly design enables long service intervals and reliable operation.

One of the eyevis video walls will be used to monitor TANESCO’s GE SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) applications.

The second will oversee the Distribution Management System (DMS), which monitors and controls the entire distribution network efficiently and reliably.

UVS is working on the project with Finnish integrator Eltel.

UVS managing director Steve Murphy, who has flown out to Tanzania to oversee the project, said: “An electricity generator and distributor like TANESCO requires reliability and equipment which is easy to service, so we are delighted that they have seen the benefits of eyevis technology.

“Our video displays will be working 24/7 to ensure that the supply and distribution network runs smoothly and help keep the lights on for the people of Tanzania.”

UVS, which also has bases in London and Manchester, has two UK demonstration venues to allow potential customers to witness at first hand the state-of-the-art products which can help them.

The venues, in Euston, London, and Stockport, Manchester, are operated on an appointment basis and clients can provide details of the issues they face in advance so UVS  can demonstrate how their technology can help.
