The situation
A family farming business works four properties up to an hour apart. Each has a bulk diesel tank, and there are chemical tanks at the main shed, stock water tanks across the paddocks and a fuel trailer that follows the machinery at seeding and harvest.
Checking tanks means a drive around the properties. In busy seasons, a tank can run lower than anyone expected, and a fuel order goes in at the last minute.
How GAT is set up
- A unit on each diesel, chemical and water tank, battery powered and fitted through an existing opening, with no power or cabling in the paddock.
- The fuel trailer reports its level and GPS location, so the team knows where it is and how much is left.
- One morning report to the farm owner and the fuel supplier, with every tank, litres remaining and percentage full.
What changes day to day
Fuel is ordered on the actual level, with time to spare, and nobody spends the morning driving between tanks in the busiest weeks of the year.
