Remote Fuel Tank Monitoring System
Knowing how much fuel capacity Pete has available is crucial. Fuel prices fluctuate weekly, and when it's as expensive as aviation gasoline or jet fuel, buying when the price goes down is especially important. Pete monitors fuel prices closely. He can check his phone app and know exactly how many liters he has available. This lets him optimize his purchasing strategy & run a profitable business. |
| Common Problems | Solutions |
| Manual monitoring control - Monitoring systems without remote access and control, or with limited remote access, prevent real time decision making and quick emergency response | Safe and easy remote access- Access and control our devices via any web browser or on our mobile app. Easily and safely check levels, receive email alarms, and automate local control |
| Failing level sensors - Many types of level sensors struggle with fuel due to its volatility. Whether it’s vapor layers, expansion, or corrosion, improper or cheap sensors won’t do the job | Proven reliable sensors- Our float level sensors are designed specifically for and proven in the Oil and Gas field. They are perfect for harsh environments and hazardous locations |
| High cost - Hazardous location approved, industrial-grade monitoring and control systems tend to be expensive, negatively affecting small to medium sized operations | Affordable industrial-grade solutions - Our rugged sensors and controllers are designed for heavy-duty automation applications common in industrial environments indoor and out |
