Telemetry Applications

Powelectrics tank level telemetry verifies deliveries, catches thieves and much more. 

For larger consumers of heating oil or automotive diesel the increase in the cost of fuel increases the need to understand that suppliers are invoicing for the correct amount has never been greater.

For fuel oil distributors it is important to optimise your logistics and at the same time ensure that your customers do not run out product.

The use of Powelectrics remote tank level monitoring solutions helps both parties.

Whatever term you use for Telemetry, whether it's remote monitoring, M2M, Machine2Machine, Machine2Man or even Man2Machine then Powelectrics wire free telemetry products will serve you well. Our devices have been designed with the user in mind so that they are easy to configure and install.

We can interface to machines in different ways, whether it be via process signals, or serial communications, including Modbus , or even Profibus.

From working with our customers analysing their data, we know 86% of deliveries are inefficient when they don't use vendor managed inventory (VMI), and that by fitting our VMI telemetry 24% fewer deliveries are needed. This saves money, improves customer service, reduces CO2 emissions and allows for future expansion. Also see our Remote Inventory Management applications and read about our Chemical Inventory Management.

Railway networks can now remotely monitor the temperature of the railway tracks quickly and easily using the Metron2 from Powelectrics, therefore being able to identify when speed restrictions need to be put in place to prevent the tracks from buckling . The temperature sensor clips onto the track and the telemetry unit is hidden under the rails. There's no cable required to install the system.

We have a range of products which can be used to provide automatic and remote metre reading. This will save you time and expense by not needing to go round to every remote location and gather the data manually. Our metre reading applications allow the efficient collection of data, which can be delivered over both wired and wireless connections. See more on our Remote Metre Reading applications.

There is often a need to monitor environmental changes and respond quickly – this is where our remote environmental monitoring applications come into their own. Whether it’s monitoring the flow data of irrigation systems or responding quickly to a flood, our systems are perfect for this level of remote monitoring. See our Remote Irrigation Telemetry, Water Telemetry and Water Level Monitoring applications for more information.

Our wire free and reliable GSM Security Systems are perfect for monitoring breeches and security breaks. The systems we can deploy are ideal for power free environments where there is no access to mains power. Our systems include features like sending alert text messages to your mobile and full management through dedicated web software.

By monitoring the inlet and outlet temperature it is possible to determine how efficiently the air conditioning system is operating, and by monitoring the flow it is possible to determine if there is an issue with the fan or perhaps a blocked filter. This leads to a proactive maintenance regime as well as rapid response to critical applications.

By remotely monitoring the level in their customers tanks LPG distribution companies can benefit in many ways. The fully approved METRON ATEX is well proven with large numbers deployed and enjoys best in class battery life versus running costs and is rapidly becoming an industry standard.

The main benefits lie with larger volume users on a “top up” regime. Not only are major savings made as fewer deliveries are required to deliver the same volume of product, but the customer benefits from a much higher level of service and the number of run outs are dramatically reduced.
