What are the needs of fuel retail companies?

●Automatic tank gauge is the basic demand in such a big Retailer of more than 2000 fuel stations, and these ATGs must be able to connect to the Internet, allowing managers to see information such as real-time storage of each tank remotely in their office.

●As required by regulations the single-layer underground tanks were replaced with double-layer storage tanks, a large number of environmental leakage sensors will be installed.

What solution did OKet® do?

●OKet® upgraded the ATGs console already used in the fuel station, and connected the double-wall tank leak sensors and the double-wall pipeline leak sensors to the console through the ATG probe communication line in the manhole well. Not only did the retailer not add alarm systems, but they didn't even re-embed the communication lines, saving a lot of money.

●As the OKet® ATG console is an 8.0-inch color touch screen, OKet®'s software upgrade is to add a leak detection sensor monitoring interface on the ATG console. It helps the operator of the fuel station to see the status and alarm of these sensors very intuitively.
