WHERE CAN WE INSTALL OUR REMOTE MONITORING SYSTEM?

1. For private use in private households or small businesses

For installations that have tanks for private use, for example, both for private households and for small and medium-sized companies that want to monitor their tank consumption.

To provide customers with all their tank data, such as pressure levels, quantity …. and to conveniently monitor the consumption of their tanks.

This can be applied to a variety of situations, such as water tanks, diesel tanks, HVO, etc. Users can access an online platform (Inpro Cloud) or a mobile application where they can see in real time:

– The consumption level

– Receive alerts when levels are low

– Alerts when anomalies are detected

– Track consumption history

This information allows them to better manage their resources, plan replenishment or adjust their consumption habits to optimise costs.

2: For internally managed companies

In this case, it may be for companies that need to track the internal consumption of their fluid storage tanks within their operational centres. They need not only to monitor the status, but also to analyse the consumption in order to forecast the overall demand with their suppliers.

Companies can use our remote monitoring equipment to control the internal consumption of their reserves, whether it be diesel, water, HVO, lubricants, Adblue, antifreeze, etc…

Productos de medida y control.

This can include monitoring storage tanks for water, diesel, HVO, lubricants, antifreeze, etc. The ability to monitor fluid levels in real time enables companies:

– Optimise your operations

– Efficiently schedule replenishments to avoid production interruptions

In addition, analysis of consumption data can help forecast future demand and optimise inventory management and supply chain planning in collaboration with suppliers.

3. For external management companies

In this scenario, our products would be for companies that need to track the external consumption of their customers’ fluid reservoir tanks. They require not only monitoring the condition and quality of the fluid, but also analysing the consumption to forecast the overall demand with their suppliers.

Remote monitoring allows these companies to have instant visibility of their customers’ consumption and to anticipate their needs. Moreover, it achieves the following:

– Monitoring the state of the reservoirs

– It can help these companies develop predictive models to anticipate future customer demand by analysing consumption data.

– Optimise delivery routes

– Improve operational efficiency.

This can lead to increased customer satisfaction by ensuring a consistent and timely supply of the required products.

CASE STUDIES – PROJECTS

Companies that are using our wireless fluid level monitoring and control solutions

Company AVANZA (ALOSA) AUTOCARES Y AUTOBUSES, S.L. Zaragoza. Spain 

ALOSA, with a large part of the structure and its almost 200 coaches operating in Zaragoza and the rest of Aragon, is integrated into AVANZA: one of the main operators in the road passenger transport sector in Spain and a leading company in mobility.

Company requirement

This public transport company asked us to monitor the internal consumption of its diesel fuel tank reserves for refuelling coaches, in order to monitor the status and foresee the need to refill diesel when necessary.

Inpro’s solution

Therefore, we installed a Tankalert GSM device for each diesel tank with its corresponding Ultrasonic Probe in each city or town where they have a tank. These devices were connected to our Inpro Cloud platform, where all the information about the diesel reserve level of the tanks is recorded.

Our Inpro Cloud platform monitors in real time, sends data to our platform once a day and provides a map on which you can see the exact location and level of each sensor in the tanks. If the diesel level of a tank is running low, a red “emoticon” sign appears on the map, while if the tank is full, the “emoticon” of the tank is green. However, our platform also has a “dashboard” section where the levels of each tank are specifically detailed.

Equipment installed by Inpro

Solution we provided to Alosa Bus Company for 5 depots:

  • 5 GSM Tankalert: 1 per vessel
  • Ultrasonic probes
  • Inpro Cloud Platform: for remote monitoring, with subscription
