Question 1

What is IoT tank monitoring and what does it measure?

Accepted Answer

IoT tank monitoring uses level sensors, temperature probes, and pressure transmitters to continuously track tank contents in real-time. The system monitors fill levels, consumption rates, temperature, and leak indicators for any liquid or gas storage.

Question 2

How does IoT prevent tank overflows and stockouts?

Accepted Answer

IoT platforms use predictive analytics based on consumption trends to forecast when tanks will need refilling or risk overflow. Automated alerts trigger at configurable thresholds, and integration with supplier systems can automate replenishment, eliminating both emergency deliveries and overflow incidents.

Question 3

What ROI does tank monitoring IoT deliver?

Accepted Answer

Tank monitoring typically reduces delivery costs by 20-30% through optimized scheduling, eliminates emergency deliveries that cost 2-3x normal rates, and prevents product loss from leaks. Fuel distributors commonly achieve ROI within 6-12 months through route optimization.

Question 4

How does IoT detect tank leaks?

Accepted Answer

IoT systems detect leaks by monitoring consumption patterns that don't match expected usage, sudden level drops, and temperature anomalies. Cloud Studio's algorithms can identify leaks as small as 0.1% of tank volume per day, enabling rapid response before environmental contamination occurs.

Question 5

How quickly can tank monitoring be deployed?

Accepted Answer

A single tank can be instrumented in under 2 hours with wireless sensors requiring no tank modification. Fleet deployments of 50-200 tanks typically take 2-4 weeks. Cloud Studio provides instant dashboards and alerts from sensor activation, with no coding required.

Question 6

Can tank monitoring integrate with delivery and ERP systems?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Cloud Studio integrates with fleet management, delivery scheduling, ERP, and billing systems through REST APIs. Automated reorder triggers based on tank levels feed directly into supplier ordering systems, creating fully automated replenishment workflows.
