Level Measurement and Inventory Control in Mining Fuel Storage
Secure on-time deliveries and improve equipment uptime with full insight into your fuel tanks
Tank Monitoring for Fuel Depots in the Metals and Mining Industry
Fuel management is citical in the metals and mining sector: running out of fuel brings machinery to a standstill and generates costly downtime. To secure supply depots are constructed at the site, but how will you know when the tanks at the depot are running low?
A tank monitoring system lets you control your fuel inventory in a cost-effective and safe way. The system can connect level, temperature and pressure measurement to monitor tank contents precisely. An efficient network infrastructure using either a single cable digital bus or wireless communications enables a low installation cost. And the system software provides remote access to live inventory data - from any place at any time. All in all, a tank monitoring system lets you avoid fuel shortage and eliminate manual measurement by giving you real-time overview of your fuel storage tanks.
