Remote tank monitoring
Remote tank monitoring that ends the drive-out route
Cisterns on farms, IBCs at customer sites, water tanks on rooftops three towns away — when tanks are scattered, checking them is a driving job. Remote tank monitoring puts every level on one dashboard, so trucks roll when a level says so, not when the calendar does.
01
Checking a gauge costs a tank of diesel
A route of ten sites is a day behind the wheel to collect ten numbers. Most visits confirm that nothing changed — the route exists for the one tank that did.
02
The empty tank calls you first
Between visits, tanks are on their own. The site that runs dry doesn’t appear on any schedule — it appears on your phone, angry, when the damage is already running.
03
Routes are planned blind
Without live levels, refill runs are guesses: some stops are pointless, some come too late, and the truck is never loaded quite right for what it finds.

How remote tank monitoring works with Kilo
Equip each site — sensor plus gateway
A battery-powered level sensor goes on the tank, a small gateway nearby carries readings to Kilo over the internet. LoRaWAN spans kilometers of open ground, so one gateway can cover a whole farm or yard.
Every site, one screen
Real-time dashboards line up all tanks across all locations — current level, trend, and days-to-empty at a glance, from the office or your phone.
Dispatch by level, not by calendar
Low-level alarms with escalation chains flag the sites that actually need a visit — push, SMS, or email — so every trip on the route earns its diesel.
Hardware, ready to work
Get long-range level sensors and gateways from the Kilo Electronics store — pre-configured on request, so each site kit arrives ready to install in one visit. No IoT team required.

Remote tank monitoring FAQ
How do readings get back from a remote site?
Each site gets a gateway that forwards sensor readings to Kilo over whatever internet connection the site has. The sensors themselves need no connection of their own — they reach the gateway by LoRaWAN or mioty radio, over kilometers in open terrain.
How many tanks and sites can I monitor?
As many as you have. Dashboards group tanks by site and region, so two cisterns or two hundred read the same way — one screen, sorted by who needs attention first.
How long does a site run without maintenance?
Years. The level sensors are battery-powered and transmit sparingly by design, so there are no charging rounds — the platform shows battery state, and replacements join a planned visit.
Can alerts go to different people per region?
Yes. Every alarm carries its own escalation chain with its own recipients and channels — so the northern route’s driver gets the northern tanks, and a missed alert escalates to the dispatcher.
