Automated Tank Monitoring System

It is important to monitor the fill level of the silos and tanks for the different types of raw materials stored in silos and tanks, so that unexpected run-off of raw materials does not result in production disruption and costly unscheduled refilling. Automated tank control benefits both the user of the raw material and its supplier. The user has one less concern when the tank announces itself as the raw material diminishes or even adds space (if so programmed). Suppliers can monitor the status of tanks throughout their customer base in real-time and utilize information to plan the route of refueling vehicles, thereby minimizing logistics costs.
