Modi Sensor GAITER – modern liquid level monitoring and tank inventory control

Precise inventory control is becoming increasingly important for businesses that store fuels, AdBlue, heating oil, water, and other liquids. A lack of up-to-date information about tank levels can lead to delivery planning issues, unnecessary downtime, increased operating costs, and loss of control over inventory management. Manually checking liquid levels, estimating fuel quantities "by eye," or basing purchasing decisions solely on employee experience no longer meets the needs of modern businesses. The solution is the Modi Sensor GAITER – a tank level monitoring system that allows for ongoing inventory control without the need to visit the tank every time. How does the Modi Sensor work? In which industries can it be used? Is the system suitable for monitoring diesel fuel and AdBlue? We explain.

 

What is the Modi Sensor?

Modi Sensor is a system for monitoring liquid levels and managing stock in tanks, developed by the Polish company GAITER. The device has been designed for businesses where accurate information on the current status of the stored medium affects operational continuity, logistics, procurement planning and operational safety. The system enables liquid levels to be measured and real-time data to be transmitted to a remote receiver. Information on the tank’s status can be accessed without the need for manual measurement at the installation site.

 

The Modi Sensor can be used, amongst other things, to monitor:

• diesel fuel,
• heating oil,
• AdBlue,
• water,
• other liquids, after consulting the manufacturer.

The system is suitable for use with both steel and plastic tanks. It can also be adapted to different types of tanks, regardless of their shape and capacity. This means that the Modi Sensor tank monitoring system can be used across many sectors of the economy – from transport and agriculture, through industry and construction, to companies with their own fuel facilities.

 

How does the Modi Sensor liquid level monitoring system work?

The primary function of the Modi Sensor system is to accurately measure the liquid level in a tank. A high-quality pressure sensor is used for the measurement. According to the system’s specifications, the measurement accuracy can be approximately 0.5%, whilst the liquid level is displayed on the receiver as a percentage on a 100% scale, in 1% increments. Data from the transmitter is sent to the receiver via radio transmission. The receiver can be placed, for example, in an office, a warehouse or any other location where the staff member responsible for stock can conveniently monitor the current tank level. Under suitable conditions, the receiver can be located up to approximately 150 metres from the tank. In practice, this means that the person responsible for fuel management or stock control does not need to regularly approach the tank solely to check the level of the liquid.

Remote monitoring of fuel or AdBlue levels streamlines day-to-day stock management and enables faster decision-making regarding future deliveries.

 

Fuel level monitoring – the Modi Sensor application

One of the most important applications of the Modi Sensor is monitoring diesel levels in company tanks. Dedicated diesel tanks are used, amongst others, by transport companies, construction firms, farms, manufacturing plants and companies with extensive machinery fleets. In such organisations, diesel is one of the key operational resources.

Running out of fuel may mean:

• machine downtime,
• delay in carrying out the work,
• fleet management issues,
• the need to arrange an urgent delivery,
• additional logistics costs,
• disruption to the work schedule.

The fuel tank monitoring system allows you to check the current diesel level at any time.

Thanks to the low- and high-level alarm settings, users can respond more quickly to changes in liquid levels. The Modi Sensor features audible and visual alarms available on both the transmitter and the receiver. Monitoring diesel levels therefore helps to transform stock management – from a reactive approach to a more informed and planned one. Instead of waiting for a ‘running out of fuel’ warning, a company can regularly check the tank level and plan refuelling well in advance.

 

Modi Sensor a monitoring AdBlue

Another application of the device is monitoring the AdBlue level in the tank. AdBlue is widely used in vehicles and machinery fitted with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems. In transport, logistics, agricultural and construction companies, the demand for AdBlue can be significant. If a company stores AdBlue in its own tank, continuous monitoring of the fluid level facilitates delivery planning and work organisation. The Modi Sensor can be used as an AdBlue tank monitoring system, displaying the current liquid level on the display. Importantly, the device can be configured to monitor several tanks simultaneously.

In a bespoke configuration, Modi Sensor can monitor up to four tanks simultaneously. For example, the system can monitor:

• two diesel fuel tanks,
• one AdBlue tank,
• one tank containing a different operating fluid.

For a business, this means the ability to create a single, convenient point from which to monitor several key stock items.

 

Modi Sensor in transport and logistics companies

Transport companies are among those that are particularly reliant on the efficient management of fuel and operating fluids. A fleet of vehicles generates a regular demand for diesel and AdBlue. For companies with their own tanks, it is not only the storage of fuel that is important, but also proper planning of refuelling. The Modi Sensor fuel tank monitoring system can assist transport companies in the day-to-day monitoring of diesel and AdBlue levels. The person responsible for procurement can check the fluid levels via a receiver located in the office. This reduces the need for manual tank checks and streamlines the flow of information between those responsible for the fleet, the warehouse and procurement. In the transport, logistics and services (TLS) sector, up-to-date stock data can be particularly important during periods of intensive fleet operation, an increased number of orders and high fuel demand.

Phrases related to this use include, amongst others:

Fuel monitoring in agriculture

Modern farms are increasingly using their own diesel tanks. Tractors, combine harvesters, telescopic loaders and other agricultural machinery generate a high demand for fuel – particularly during periods of intensive seasonal work. Sowing, harvesting and soil preparation are periods during which an unplanned shortage of diesel can disrupt the work schedule. That is why monitoring fuel levels on a farm can be a vital part of stock management. The Modi Sensor enables real-time monitoring of diesel levels without the need to check the tank each time. The farmer or the person in charge of the farm can monitor fuel levels using the receiver and plan the next delivery in advance. The system can also be used on agricultural holdings that store other types of liquids. If the medium is different from those typically supported, please consult the manufacturer, GAITER, regarding the suitability of the device.

 

Modi Sensor in the construction industry

Construction machinery requires fuel. Excavators, loaders, bulldozers, rollers, power units and other equipment used on construction sites consume diesel on a regular basis. Construction companies with their own fuel facilities need up-to-date information on stock levels. The Modi Sensor fuel tank monitoring system can help construction companies monitor their diesel levels. This enables the company to plan fuel deliveries in advance and minimise the risk of situations where a shortage of fuel disrupts the operation of machinery. Fuel level monitoring is particularly important for companies with a large fleet of machinery and those undertaking intensive projects requiring continuous operation of their equipment.

In such circumstances, even simple information about the current fuel level becomes a key element of operational management.

 

The use of Modi Sensor in industry and manufacturing plants

Liquid level measurement systems are also used across a wide range of industrial sectors. Manufacturing plants may store fuels, oils, water and other media required for operational processes. In such facilities, monitoring liquid levels in industrial tanks affects internal logistics, supply planning and process safety. Modi Sensor can handle various types of tanks, regardless of their shape and capacity. Additionally, the system is capable of detecting inter-jacket leaks. Automatic monitoring of critical levels and alarms for low and high levels enable staff to respond more quickly to situations requiring their attention.

In industrial companies, this means being able to monitor stock more effectively without having to carry out constant manual checks.

 

Modi Sensor at petrol stations and company fuel depots

GAITER designs, manufactures and implements solutions for measuring fuel, AdBlue and other liquids in tanks. Modi Sensor meets the needs of businesses with their own fuel depots and storage tanks. Measuring the fuel level in a tank can be crucial for companies wishing to improve their monitoring of the current state of the liquid. A display unit located in the office allows for a quick check of the liquid level. A low-level alarm, meanwhile, can alert staff to the need to schedule a delivery.

In this way, tank monitoring becomes part of the company’s day-to-day fuel management.

 

Leak detection system – additional tank monitoring

A liquid leak from a tank can result in financial losses and operational problems. The Modi Sensor is equipped with an inter-jacket leak detection system. This feature allows for greater control over the installation and enables users to be alerted more quickly to situations requiring attention. The system also monitors critical liquid levels and utilises audible and visual alarms.

In practice, the user is not merely provided with information on the percentage level of the liquid. The Modi Sensor also serves as a tool to support the monitoring of the tank’s condition.

 

Low and high liquid level alarms

One of the key features of the Modi Sensor is the ability to set alarms for low and high liquid levels. Why is this important?

• A low fuel level may mean you need to arrange a delivery.
• A high liquid level may require extra care when managing stock or refilling the tank.

The system can alert the user via audible and visual signals on both the transmitter and the receiver. This means that monitoring the liquid level does not have to rely solely on the employee’s memory or on regular manual measurements.

 

What happens during a power cut?

In businesses, the measurement system should also be prepared for situations involving power cuts. The Modi Sensor transmitter, which is responsible for taking measurements, is fitted with a battery that can keep the system running for up to 10 days. Once power is restored, the transmitter and receiver are designed to automatically re-establish the connection.

This solution reduces the need to carry out an additional system start-up procedure following a standard power cut.

 

Can the Modi Sensor be fitted to a second-hand tank?

Yes. The Modi Sensor can also be fitted to an existing tank. In this case, please contact the manufacturer or an authorised distributor. Specialists can assess whether the device is suitable for a specific installation and carry out the necessary installation. This is important information for businesses that already have their own tanks for diesel, AdBlue, heating oil or water and wish to implement a modern liquid level monitoring system without having to replace their entire storage infrastructure.

 

One system – monitoring of up to four tanks

In many companies, a single tank is not enough. A company may have separate tanks for diesel, AdBlue and other fluids used in its day-to-day operations. The Modi Sensor can be customised to monitor up to four tanks simultaneously.

This solution is of particular interest to:

• transport hubs,
• farms,
• construction companies,
• industrial plants,
• companies with their own machinery,
• companies that store several types of liquids.

Instead of checking each tank individually, the user can monitor key stock levels more conveniently.

 

Why does automatic liquid level measurement replace visual checks?

One of the biggest problems in stock management is the lack of up-to-date data.

1. “There should be enough fuel.”
2. “The tank is still about half full.”
3. “We checked the AdBlue a few days ago.”

Such information does not constitute precise data on which to base effective delivery planning and the management of a company’s resources. Electronic liquid level measurement replaces estimates with actual readings from the system. The Modi Sensor displays the liquid level as a percentage. This enables the person responsible for procurement to make decisions based on up-to-date information about the tank’s status.

This is particularly important in companies where demand for fuel or other utilities fluctuates rapidly.
