How wireless connectivity is driving new efficiencies in remote tank monitoring
Tanks and the substances they hold are a critical part of many business processes with downtime an unacceptable risk if levels run low or, in the case of waste tanks, capacity is filled. Traditionally, tank monitoring has been an inefficient process involving sending a person to check the level of a tank by visually inspecting the level. Alternatively, loose estimates have been used so trucks have been sent to refill tanks that do not need filling or to empty tanks that are not yet full. This is highly inefficient leading to wasted truck journeys, repeated trips and keeping money tied up in excess inventory.
