Ensuring The Safe Storage Of Fuel With Smart Monitoring

PARTNER

RAZRLAB is a software and hardware developer with ample experience in communications, distribution, security, facility management, and financial services. In the past 14 years, it has worked on multiple high-profile IoT projects in Africa and the Middle East. One such project was for its client in Jebel Ali, Dubai. The client was facing this exact problem, and RAZRLAB rose to the challenge.

SOLUTION

The solution RAZRLAB came up with was to place a sensor over the fuel tank to accurately and continuously monitor fuel levels via guided wave radar technology. Any deviation from the normal amount, dictated by routine fuel usage and tank refills, will immediately be registered and reported for analysis and inspection. This also includes sudden drops in fuel levels, which indicate theft.

This data is then relayed to a custom RAZR cloud platform with the help of our TRB245 industrial cellular gateway, connected to the sensor via a via RS485 interface. This sturdy and compact model was specially designed for industrial applications and helps facilitate connectivity in challenging environments without the need for cumbersome cables and additional hardware, thereby keeping infrastructure complexity to a minimum.

This was especially useful in this case, as fuel tanks are often located underground and away from the city, where a wired connection would be inefficient. Boasting its dual SIM and auto-failover capabilities, TRB245 was the perfect fit – able to provide an uninterrupted, high-speed internet connection.
