Numerex Corp. (Nasdaq: NMRX) has announced that Simmons Corporation, a major outsourcing vendor of compliance monitoring services for owners of underground storage tanks in the United States and Canada, has selected Numerex to provide integrated satellite-based monitoring solutions, which combine expertise and services from both companies.

  Using Numerex technology, Simmons can give QLF the ability to monitor liquid feed levels in any of its hundreds of remote tanks around the country by inserting a transmitter in the existing probe that is dropped inside the feed tanks. The transmitter sends an alarm signal when the tanks reach a certain level.  Manual on-site diagnostic visits from field technicians are no longer needed, reducing travel costs and improving operational efficiencies. Simmons' primary business channel services consist of distribution centers and facilities such as gas stations and convenience centers. Its proprietary solution, Wilco™, is an Underground Storage Tank (UST) and Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) compliant fuel management service that transmits data from the fuel tanks to the control panel via Simmons SIRVEY software. Simmons then compiles global compliance reports in order to meet U.S. legal and regulatory leak detection requirements.
