Managed remote tank and silo monitoring
Tanktel gives manufacturers, suppliers and logistics teams live visibility of tank and silo levels, with alarms, trends, delivery history and secure access for the people who need it.
Use real consumption data to plan refills, reduce futile deliveries, support Vendor Managed Inventory and keep production supplied across Australia and New Zealand.
Remote monitoring built for industrial supply chains
Tanktel monitors tanks, silos and IBCs using common industrial level instruments including radar, ultrasonic, pressure and load-cell systems. Data is collected, stored, displayed and reported through a secure web platform, helping users make delivery decisions from current information instead of phone calls or estimates.
A complete managed monitoring service
The value is not just the hardware. It is the full monitoring workflow, from field readings to supplier access, alarms, delivery history and reporting.
Secure web dashboard
View current levels, trends, alarms and site status from desktop, tablet or phone.
Reorder and critical alerts
Email and SMS notifications help teams act before stockouts or delivery issues occur.
Usage trends and forecasting
Historical data helps estimate time-to-empty and plan refill windows using real consumption.
Supplier-only access
Give suppliers visibility of only the sites, silos or products they service.
Driver delivery entry
Driver Login records quantity, docket details and delivery timing for reconciliation.
Exports and integrations
Use CSV exports or optional SFTP/API workflows for ERP, dispatch or reporting systems.
How managed monitoring supports JIT deliveries
Instead of waiting for customers to call, dispatch teams can see which sites need product, which sites can wait, and which deliveries are urgent.
Measure
Field equipment reads the tank or silo level using the installed sensor technology.
Transmit
Readings are sent to Tanktel using telemetry, SCADA-to-cloud, FTP or API workflows.
Alert
Reorder, low, critical and delivery thresholds trigger notifications when action is needed.
Deliver
Drivers enter delivery details, then stock movement can be reconciled against the trend.
