Satellite where there is no coverage
Each unit uses 4G where it can and switches to satellite where it cannot, so the most remote tank reports like the rest.
Mining tank monitoring
Tank levels from the pit, without the drive.
Diesel, lubricant, coolant and process fluid tanks spread across pits, camps and haul roads. Units report over 4G where there is coverage and over satellite where there is not, with no site power, Wi-Fi or cabling to arrange.

Why monitor remotely
Built for sites with no signal.
Nothing to connect to site IT
Units are self-contained and battery powered. There is no site network, power or cabling to organise, and no IT approval to chase.
Fewer trips to check a tank
Daily levels replace the drive out to dip a tank at the far end of a haul road, freeing people for real work.
One view for the mine and the supplier
Reports can be split by site, pit or contractor, and your fuel or lubricant supplier can see the tanks they keep full.
Applications
Mine site tanks we monitor
Bulk diesel and fuel farms
Large bulk storage tanks feeding the fleet, reported by site and tank.
Lube bays and containers
Engine, hydraulic and gear oils, coolant and grease in workshop and field lube bays.
Camp and generator tanks
Diesel feeding camp generators and remote power, so camps do not run short.
Mobile tanks and fuel trailers
Level and GPS location together, wherever the tank is moved to around the lease.
Process chemicals and water
Reagents, treatment chemicals and process or stock water tanks.
Something unusual
Sumps, process vessels and hard-to-reach tanks, with our engineering team designing the method.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pit 3 fuel farm: Tank 1, Diesel | Diesel | 86,300 | 110,000 | 78 |
| Pit 3 fuel farm: Tank 2, Diesel | Diesel | 42,700 | 110,000 | 38 |
| Main workshop: Hydraulic oil | Hydraulic oil | 1,880 | 2,850 | 66 |

The unit
Self-contained. Nothing to wire up.
A submersible pressure sensor measures the level, and the unit reports level and GPS location over 4G or satellite. It fits through an existing opening on the tank, with no drilling, welding, site power or cabling.

Questions
Mining tank monitoring: common questions
Does the unit need to connect to the site network?
No. Each unit has its own 4G and satellite connection and its own battery, so there is nothing to connect to site IT, power or Wi-Fi.
What happens where there is no mobile coverage?
The unit reports over satellite instead. It chooses between 4G and satellite on its own, including while a mobile tank moves around the site.
Will the units cope with site conditions?
Units are rated IP68 and operate from −20 to +80 °C, with a battery life of up to seven years.
Who installs units on a remote site?
Most installs take 5 to 10 minutes through an existing opening on the tank, so site staff can fit them. GAT and our installation partners can also install them for you.
Can our contractor and our supplier see the reports?
Yes. Reports can be split by site, pit, division or contractor, and each recipient sees only the tanks they are responsible for.
