As one of the leading developers and solution providers for tank monitoring, RCT Remote Control Technology from Gladenbach, Germany, shows how remote monitoring of liquid gas tanks is becoming increasingly smart. While the focus was previously on the transmission of pure level data, user-friendly service apps for users are increasingly coming to the fore. To this end, RCT now also offers AI-based and voice-controlled app solutions for its LEVELview device series.
The LEVELview program will be presented, a modular building block system for the quick setup and safe operation of remote monitoring solutions for tanks. The developer, and manufacturer from Hesse, Germany, thus has a plug-and-play system program with explosion protection 1/0, which can be used to monitor fill levels of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), as well as oil, diesel, gasoline, A1 fuel (Ex0), Ad Blue and water tanks.
With the web app and mobile app "RCT Monitor", users always have the right way to monitor their tank levels. Depending on the requirements, transmission is via Cellular 4G/3G/2G, LTE, NB-IoT, Sigfox, LoRa-WAN, Cat M1, RF or WiFi.
Simple via Plug & Play
Thanks to plug & play technology, LEVELview devices can be installed and set up in just a few steps. Energy providers, service station operators, property managers and municipalities – as well as private users such as home and vacation home owners – benefit from a system that can flexibly meet a wide range of requirements, while at the same time impressing with its simplicity and high level of safety thanks to explosion protection zone 1/0.
AI-based web and mobile apps
New app solutions for web and mobile applications ensure simple and convenient data management. For example, the "RCT Monitor" software automatically informs users by mail, push message, SMS or directly via their company's own ERP system when the tank content is nearing its end. Other smart services include history and consumption data at defined times, projections of remaining tank capacities, information on the best possible time for refueling, display of daily prices with ordering function, emergency call function in the event of heating and tank malfunctions, or order pooling with other customers.
Geodata, logistics routes, billing, etc.
For energy suppliers and their logistics, for example, RCT has developed app solutions that provide information about the geodata of tanks, generate optimal logistics routes for tanker vehicles and enable report management directly at the tank as well as key date-related billing.
In addition, the manufacturer also offers voice-controlled app solutions for Alexa, Siri and Google. Individual product developments are possible on request. RCT thus offers maximum transparency and simplicity for the entire tank management process. The collection of exact data on tank levels creates operational reliability and ensures optimal energy management.
