Supply security due to smart tank level measurement
Remote monitoring of tanks
In the oil, gas and chemical industries, customer tanks are often spread over large distances – even across the globe. Whether to avoid supply bottlenecks or to optimise delivery planning, the Industrial Internet of Things offers powerful solutions through the remote monitoring of tanks.
For over 25 years, Sensile Technologies, a division of WIKA, has been providing comprehensive telemetry solutions – including robust hardware, a secure cloud platform and expert services – tailored to the specific challenges of these industries.
With over 100,000 tanks monitored across more than 70 countries, this flexible, scalable and highly reliable system helps businesses optimise their operations, reduce costs and increase customer satisfaction.
At the heart of this success lie data availability and reliability – which are particularly important for isolated or underground tanks. Whilst reliable hardware is essential, it is the ongoing customer service and commitment to high-quality, actionable data that deliver long-term results and ensure an excellent return on investment (ROI).
