As heavy-duty vehicles such as bulldozers and excavators work at the site, to improve refueling efficiency, they rely on tanker trucks to bring the fuel to where they work. For fuel delivery companies, it is vital to implement a fuel tanker monitoring system to provide a high-precision measurement of the fuel level in real time. Fuel tanker monitoring also prevents fraud of fuel and unauthorized use of fuel and gives detailed information about fuel fueling and draining. Moreover, it saves information about fuel in the tank for further analysis and provides an organized fuel usage history.

The eBOX800-511-FL Integrates the Data from Sensors on the Oil Tanker
|
|
| |
|
Axiomtek recommended its eBOX800-511-FL as a fuel level controller to monitor and manage the fuel level the truck carries. The eBOX800-511-FL is powered by the Intel® Core™ i5-7300U processor. This rugged embedded platform comes with two PCI Express Mini Card slots for real-time data transmission of fuel levels and other parameters.
The eBOX800-511-FL has a full IP67-rated extruded aluminum and heavy-duty steel case for dust protection and water resistance. It offers operational stability with M12-type I/O connectors and four N-jack waterproof antenna openings for WLAN and WWAN usage. Moreover, it has a wide operating temperature range of -30°C to +60°C and a vibration endurance of up to 3 Grms, which allows it to be installed on any trucks roaming in harsh environments around the world. The fanless rugged system also supports a wide range of 9V to 36V DC power input with power protection.

Enhancing Fleet Management Efficiency: The eBOX800-511-FL and Real-time Sensor Connectivity
|
| |
|
The eBOX800-511-FL establishes a seamless connection with an array of sensors through a wireless connection. This connectivity not only empowers the control center but also places vital information at the fingertips of the driver, facilitating efficiency.
One of the key strengths of the eBOX800-511-FL is its ability to monitor a spectrum of critical parameters promptly. Through the wireless connectivity options of 3G/4G LTE, it ensures the real-time transmission of data from sensors, capturing essential metrics such as fuel level, temperature, pressure, and potential leaks. Real-time monitoring offers a proactive approach to safety and operational efficiency for refueling other working heavy-duty vehicles.
|
 |
| Benefits |
|
First, the solution ensures safety while integrating an embedded system with pressure and temperature sensors that can detect any leak and offer the driver notification. Secondly, the volume sensors monitor fuel level not only for the driver but also transmit the data to the control center to facilitate more efficient truck dispatching for refueling tasks. With a clear history of fuel usage, the solution prevents steal or unauthorized use of fuel, enabling analysis and operation optimization and maximizing potential profits for the operators.
