Know exactly what’s in every tank, all the time. AFLO delivers end-to-end fluid level monitoring systems for workshops, depots and industrial sites—so you can prevent runouts and overfills, reconcile deliveries, and make smarter purchasing decisions. Built for Australian conditions, our solutions cover diesel, petrol, AdBlue/DEF, lubricants, coolants, waste oil, water and selected chemicals across self-bunded tanks, IBCs, drums and fixed plant.
A well-implemented tank level monitoring setup gives your team real-time visibility on inventory, consumption and alarms—onsite or remote—reducing emergency callouts, downtime and manual dip checks. AFLO’s specialists design a system that matches your tank construction, fluids and workflow, then supply, install and commission the complete package with training and after-sales support.
What a professional fluid monitoring system includes
Level sensors (fit-for-purpose options)
-
Ultrasonic / radar (non-contact): ideal for fuels and AdBlue when you want no wetted parts; excellent for tall tanks and irregular shapes.
-
Hydrostatic pressure probes: robust, accurate across a wide range of fluids; great for fixed tanks and underground applications.
-
Float / reed and capacitance sensors: simple, durable options for clear switch points or continuous measurement in known conditions.
Control & communications
-
Local controllers with clear level readouts, configurable alarms and relay outputs for pumps/valves.
-
Telemetry gateways using cellular, Wi-Fi or LoRaWAN for remote sites, with secure dashboards for multi-site fleets.
-
Alerting via high/low level alarms, rapid-drop leak warnings, delivery detection and time-based notifications.
Dashboards & reporting
-
Real-time tank levels, volume and ullage
-
Consumption trends and minimum stock thresholds
-
Delivery reconciliation and audit trails
-
Multi-site summary views for operations and procurement
Integration
-
Tie into existing fuel management, workshop fitout equipment, and maintenance systems.
-
Optional exports or APIs for ERP, job management or business reporting.
Benefits for workshops and fleets
- Inventory certainty: Live levels and forecasted days-to-empty prevent runouts and last-minute freight premiums.
- Safety and environmental control: Early warning for rapid losses and overfill events; better housekeeping around waste oil and coolant.
- Operational efficiency: Cut manual dipping and after-hours checks; streamline deliveries with data-driven reorder points.
- Cost control: Reduce small top-ups, optimise bulk buys, and validate supplier deliveries with accurate before/after volumes.
Built for the real world
Every site is different. AFLO engineers the solution around your tanks (vertical, horizontal, bunded), fluids (diesel, AdBlue/DEF, oil grades, water, coolant, waste oil), ambient temperatures and available power (mains, solar, battery). We match sensor technology and materials to fluid compatibility and vapour zones, and position hardware for safe access, serviceability and clean cable routing.
AFLO’s process
-
Site review & specification – confirm tank details, venting, fill points, required accuracy, telemetry coverage and alarm strategy.
-
Design & supply – select sensors, controllers, gateways, antennas, cabling, and mounting hardware.
-
Install & commission – mechanical and electrical installation, calibration to tank strapping charts, alarm testing and user training.
-
Support & expansion – spares, repairs and future roll-outs to additional tanks or sites.
Common use cases
- Diesel and petrol: remote depots, yard tanks and service bays; verify deliveries and automate reorders.
- AdBlue/DEF: non-contact or compatible wetted materials to avoid crystallisation issues; dedicated dispensing to prevent cross-contamination.
- Lubricants and coolants: centralised monitoring across multiple small tanks with hose reels and metering.
- Waste oil: track collections and avoid accidental overfills; maintain clean and compliant storage.
- Water and washdown: ensure sufficient reserve for fire safety or wash activities; monitor bore and rainwater usage.
FAQs
Which sensor is best for diesel?
Non-contact ultrasonic/radar and hydrostatic probes are both excellent; the choice depends on tank geometry, installation constraints and required accuracy.
Can I see multiple sites in one dashboard?
Yes. Multi-site dashboards show live levels and alarms across all tanks, with filters for fluid type and location.
How accurate are the readings?
Accuracy depends on the sensor type, tank geometry and calibration. During commissioning we calibrate against your tank strapping chart and verify readings at several set points.
What if my tanks are off-grid?
Use solar-powered telemetry with low-draw sensors. Data updates can be scheduled to balance battery life with reporting needs.
