What you have today

Genset tanks get forgotten until they're empty and the power is out, or until someone notices the fuel bill doesn't match runtime. Remote sites are worse - by the time a service truck arrives, the outage has already cost more than the diagnostic.

What we add

A DUT-E sensor reads the tank to ±1%. A GSM head pushes data to your dashboard every minute. Refill-soon alerts at 25%, critical alerts at 10%, theft alerts within 60 seconds of an unauthorized drain. SMS, email, or webhook into your existing systems.

What you'll see

Every refill, every runtime hour, every drain event - on one timeline.

Once installed, fuel level and runtime stream to your dashboard at a configurable interval. Refill events, drain events, and projected empty time are surfaced automatically.

  • Fuel-level curve - natural draw-down during runtime with a forward projected-empty indicator.
  • Refill spikes - exact volume and timestamp, reconciled against fuel-vendor receipts.
  • Drain events - sudden drop with no runtime triggers an alert with location, volume, and timestamp.

Two ways to do it

Pick the configuration that fits your site setup.

Most operators standardize on standalone GSM. Sites with an existing building management system integrate over RS-485 instead.
