Remote tank level monitoring gives a variety of opportunities to users, including the integration of local automation to your remote monitoring system. This is done though the level sensor’s alarm trip points and optional outputs.
Simple applications are designed to alert remote personnel to a full or empty tank. However, initiating a local process with a trip point or an output can be crucial in more complex scenarios.
Security Camera Control
Consider a used oil collection company aimed at preventing theft. Used oil is valuable, and often targeted by thieves. By connecting security cameras to remote level switch points, the company ensured that the cameras start recording whenever a specific amount of oil is removed within a set time frame. This proactive measure helps deter theft and enhances security. Now the security camera starts recording when a preset amount of oil is removed within a certain window of time.
Pump Control
Another example is pump control. Level or pressure sensors can connect to a controller or PLC, which will activate a pump monitor. Activating a level or pressure sensor output to turn pumps on and off is a common task. With remote monitoring sensors, this same task can be performed, merging traditional applications with new technology and greater visibility.
Local Alarm Activation
Visual and audio alarms are also an effective option. A flashing red light or warning announcement can be critical in preventing issues or managing operations more effectively.
The potential actions triggered by an output level or a trip point are numerous, and these are just a few enhancements that can be added to our Tank Cloud remote monitoring platform. Additionally, our sensors can monitor the on/off status of various other applications, making our Nomad remote monitoring system an excellent choice for versatile monitoring needs.
