In industries such as construction, mining, and agriculture, mobile fuel tankers are actively used for fuel delivery and vehicle refueling. This type of operation allows fuel to be transported to remote areas or locations without stationary refueling stations, ensuring an uninterrupted fuel supply for vehicles operating in these regions.
Monitoring fuel in such operations requires special considerations for effective fuel management. First and foremost, it is essential to continuously track the volume of fuel in the tanker to monitor remaining stock and prevent unauthorized leaks or shortages. Another critical aspect is controlling fuel dispensing volumes to ensure proper refueling and eliminate potential discrepancies. Additionally, it is necessary to monitor fuel consumption by the tanker itself, as it also uses fuel.
Furthermore, the equipment used for refueling must be certified and comply with strict explosion-proof regulations. This is essential to ensure safety in environments where fuel operations pose increased risks to human health and safety, as well as to prevent fires and other hazardous situations.
Omnicomm’s solution addresses all the specific requirements for fuel tanker monitoring, processing and analyzing key information required for effective control. It efficiently collects data from multiple fuel level sensors, processes data from flow meters, and calculates dispensing volumes. With Omnicomm’s solution, it is possible to accurately track where and when refueling occurs, as well as compare dispensed fuel volumes with the actual amount received by the vehicle tanks.
Omnicomm fuel level sensors are a key component of the system. The Omnicomm LLS-Ex 5 sensors are explosion-proof certified and designed for installation in fuel tanks, ensuring safe operation in high-risk conditions.
GPS-trackers play a crucial role in real-time tracking of fuel tanker locations. By collecting data from multiple fuel sensors and the fuel dispensing unit, they ensure the accuracy of refueling operations at specific locations.
The solution includes specialized reports on fuel tanker operations:
Flow meters are specialized devices designed for precise measurement of fuel dispensed from a fuel tanker or a stationary fuel station. They ensure reliable fuel accounting, eliminating errors and inaccuracies. By using flow meters, businesses can achieve high-precision fuel tracking, minimize losses, and prevent theft.
The Omnicomm system ensures not only fuel dispensing and consumption control but also enhances safety at sites utilizing mobile refueling schemes. Implementing our solution helps reduce operational costs, improve process transparency, and enhance the reliability of fuel accounting.
