Challenge

As the world continues to demand more fuel consumption, oil and gas companies are trying to make the supply chain as efficient as possible. One of the simplest applications to automate is tank gauging processes at fuel terminals. In many cases, technicians are still manually gauging tank levels for inventory purposes. This gauging includes numerous safety processes and, more importantly, time! The challenge is that all equipment needs to meet Class 1 Division 2 approvals.

Solution

The good news is that Zlinx® radio modems, designed and manufactured by B&B Electronics, are Class 1 Div 2 approved. This wireless technology, with off-the-shelf components, helps solve tank gauging problems. With Zlinx® radio modems, a technician can monitor multiple tanks in one glance and use his time for more productive tasks. Fully programmed wireless solution kits, including hardware, are also available.
