IoT-Based Fuel Monitoring System To Bring About Fuel Efficiency For Your Organisation
Fuel consumption is a major concern area for large organisations, as it forms a major part of their operational costs. As the smart workplace culture dawns upon India, operational efficiency is at the core, to save energy and resources.
Avinash Singh, founder, Briston Technomach, has developed an Internet of Things (IoT)-based solution, FuelArk, to monitor an organisation’s fuel usage. Apart from tracking, the solution offers many other advantages,​ such as data analysis, pilferage control and automatic audit. Data can be accessed from anywhere, at any time.
Fuel costs can be a pressing issue for any company. It is therefore extremely important to track vehicles’ fuel consumption pattern. FuelArk sends alerts if a tracked vehicle needs maintenance to perform better. It also brings about transparency to the entire process.
Fuelark comprises the following:
Level sensor. This is installed inside the fuel tank of the machinery/ vehicle. Data from the sensor is fed into the intelligent computing unit.
Remote monitoring software. A specially-developed algorithm-based software provides features such as timely reports of the consumed and refilled fuel, running and standby hours, and real-time tracking.
Cloud integration. The entire system is integrated with a cloud-based backend network. This provides you with controlled access to your fuel/ energy consumption data/reports from anywhere and at any time. It also minimises any significant investments in backend hardware, and provides you with a high level of data security.
