Avolta Connect 2.1: Strengthening Gas detection, monitoring and Dispatch Operations
eLichens is proud to announce the release of Avolta Connect 2.1, the latest evolution of its connected methane gas monitoring platform designed for gas utilities, industrial operators, and safety-critical infrastructures. Built around our connected natural gas detectors, this new version further bridges the gap between methane gas detection, operational awareness, and field intervention.
With version 2.1, Avolta Connect continues its progression from a monitoring platform to a decision-support and dispatch-oriented solution, enabling organizations to respond faster, prioritize better, and manage gas leak events with greater confidence and clarity.
A Platform Designed for Operational Scale
As gas networks and industrial sites grow in size and complexity, the ability to maintain a clear, structured view of operations becomes critical. Avolta Connect 2.1 introduces a new region-level organization that allows users to aggregate multiple device groups under a unified operational scope. This approach enables supervisors and safety managers to visualize gas activity and device status across entire territories, while still retaining access to detailed analytics at region or device group levels.
The map interface has been redesigned accordingly, displaying one marker per group with a direct visual indication of overall status. Gas alarms, technical issues, offline devices, and fully operational assets are instantly identifiable, allowing teams to assess risk distribution across a region in seconds. This higher-level visibility is particularly valuable for gas utilities managing large, distributed infrastructures.
Improved Visualization for Control Rooms and Daily Operations
Avolta Connect 2.1 enhances the user experience with more flexible and intuitive visualization tools. All widgets now support full-screen mode, making the platform better suited for control rooms, large displays, and focused analysis sessions. Whether reviewing maps, device lists, or historical trends, users can concentrate on critical information without distraction.

From Gas Detection to gas Dynamics
Beyond detecting gas, understanding how a situation evolves over time is essential for effective decision-making. Version 2.1 introduces a gas rate indicator that analyzes the evolution of gas concentration during an alarm. By highlighting whether gas levels are increasing, stable, or decreasing, the platform provides immediate context on leak dynamics.
Displayed consistently across analytics and dispatch views, this indicator helps operators prioritize interventions, identify rapidly escalating situations, and avoid unnecessary mobilization when conditions are stabilizing. It transforms raw alarm data into actionable insight.
Smarter Alarms for Smarter Responses
To support more precise and proportional responses, Avolta Connect now integrates three gas alarm levels. These levels align with regulatory requirements such as UL1484 while offering configurable thresholds to match operational needs. Each level can trigger distinct workflows, from internal notifications to emergency escalation, ensuring that the right teams are engaged at the right time.
Visual differentiation across the platform makes alarm severity immediately clear, reducing interpretation time during critical events and improving coordination between monitoring teams and field responders.
A Dispatch-Oriented View of Gas Safety
With Avolta Connect 2.1, the dispatch interface becomes even more central to gas utility operations. The platform now includes gas alarm history directly within the dispatch view, providing operators with temporal context and improved event tracking. Active and resolved leaks are clearly distinguished, and events are prioritized based on recency, enabling dispatchers to focus on what matters most.
This evolution reinforces Avolta Connect as a practical operational tool, supporting not only detection but also intervention tracking and resolution management.
Reliable Notifications and Operational Focus
To ensure critical alerts reach the right people at the right time, SMS notifications have been added alongside email and phone calls. This multi-channel approach strengthens reliability, particularly for on-call teams and decentralized operations.
In parallel, a new operational filter allows users to focus exclusively on devices that are fully functional, excluding those in alarm, trouble, or offline states. This simplifies performance monitoring and supports routine checks of network health.
Continuous Progress in Connected Gas Safety
Avolta Connect 2.1 reflects eLichens’ commitment to delivering a connected gas safety platform that evolves with the operational realities of gas utilities and industrial operators. By combining scalable visualization, smarter alarm management, and dispatch-ready workflows, this release marks a significant step forward in how gas risks are monitored, understood, and managed.
As the platform continues to evolve, Avolta Connect remains focused on a clear objective: turning gas detection into actionable intelligence that improves safety, efficiency, and response times across critical infrastructures.
