How Remote Monitoring Can Modernise Your Tank Storage

With remote monitoring, you can bring your inventory management to the next level and start making daily procedures easier.

How does remote monitoring work?

Remote monitoring involves the implementation of devices or sensors to collect data, which is transmitted to a central system for real-time observation and analysis.

In terms of tank storage, remote monitoring solutions can now work alongside automatic tank gauging systems to provide on-demand measurements to your mobile, tablet or desktop.

With cloud-based monitoring, you have the added bonuses of:

• Scalability: One of the major benefits of cloud storage is that large amounts of data can be stored, and additional infrastructure costs aren’t needed if your business needs to increase storage.

• Security: Providers can protect your data with measures such as encryption.

New levels of data accuracy

Through the use of advanced algorithms, remote monitoring systems process the raw data from sensors considering outlying factors. This removes the risk of errors, an issue that can occur commonly with manual readings.

While previously monitoring systems may be working inefficiently without detection, remote monitoring systems have measures to prevent this using automatic self-calibration and diagnostic features to ensure accuracy over time.

Measurements on-the-go

One of the most appealing benefits of remote monitoring is the ability to have instant data access to your device. This immediate monitoring means that you won’t need to wait until you’re on site to realise there has been a problem such as material theft or a tank leak.

For businesses with multiple sites, systems can be used to view measurements across all facilities in one place, reducing the need to travel or contact site employees for readings.

Optimise your resources

Remote monitoring systems can help your business strategy through their ease of access. By having a comprehensive view of tank performance, you can allocate resources easier and time new deliveries more efficiently.

Not only this, but by having historical data at hand you can facilitate more informed decision making and carry out trend analysis.

Both features allow your business to operate more cost-efficiently and focus on the constant improvement of your inventory management.

How can I get started?

Even if you’ve been using more manual, outdated measurement systems, it’s never too late to invest in a system which will provide long-term benefits to your business.
