3.1 Inventory control
By using Tankvision to monitor the tank level and stored volume of valuable liquids
remotely, owners or operators of tank farms or terminals for petroleum products and
chemicals (liquids) can visualize the volumes or mass of the stored medium in real time. The
data can be used to plan the inventory and distribution. The data can also be used to manage
tank farm operations like pumping or transferring products.
Tankvision has its unique concept using network technology. Without using proprietary
software, the users can visualize and manage their valuable liquids stored in the tanks by a
web browser.
Tankvision is a flexible and cost effective solution due to its scalable architecture. The
application coverage goes from small depots with only a few tanks up to refineries.
