Use Cases

A typical fuel delivery chain from a distribution storage facility to end consumers may include several types of objects and vehicles. Omnicomm systems are designed to monitor and manage fuel at each stage of this chain.

For each type of facility in the monitoring system, there is a set of recommended reports most suitable for monitoring and operational efficiency.

Typical applications include fuel delivery to remote sites, mobile refueling of machinery, service trucks carrying supply fuel, construction and mining operations, and any fleet where fuel accountability, usage efficiency, and asset monitoring are critical. For mixed fleets and large companies, the solution scales easily — from a few tankers to dozens of vehicles, heavy machinery, and stationary storage.

For a single enterprise, with multiple objects equipped with Omnicomm devices, the most informative report is the Fuel Balance Report, which allows tracking and monitoring fuel flows across the entire company.

A sample set of reports and options specific to monitoring in various industries is shown below. These recommendations may vary depending on the customer’s specific requirements.

Why Omnicomm

Omnicomm’s solutions are tailored for heavy‑duty, harsh‑environment industries: sensors with high accuracy and durability, trackers rated for vibration/dust/weather, flexible integration, and a unified cloud platform enabling fleet‑wide control. This translates into fuel cost savings, improved equipment efficiency, reduced losses, and reliable data for management and audits.

Various Shapes Of Fuel Tanks

In mining and construction equipment, fuel tanks often have complex and varied shapes — cylindrical drums, rectangular modules, baffle‑reinforced compartments, and other irregular designs. These shapes critically affect how well a fuel‑level sensor can measure volume. Proper placement, calibration, and installation are essential to ensure reliable, accurate readings.

Why Tank Shape Matters

  • Heavy-duty machinery and construction/mining equipment often have non-standard or irregular-shaped fuel tanks (cylindrical, curved, non-rectangular, with internal reinforcements, baffles, ribs, sloped bottoms, etc.). The shape affects how accurately a fuel-level sensor measures fuel volume when the tank is partly filled, tilted, or under load.
  • Irregular geometry, internal obstacles (ribs, stiffeners, internal structures), sloping bottoms, or non-uniform cross-sections may cause inaccurate readings, especially if a sensor is placed suboptimally — e.g. off-center, near a wall or rib, or where dead zones/residual pockets exist.
  • For mobile heavy equipment, tilt, slope, or movement (uneven terrain) aggravate the problem: if sensor installation doesn’t compensate for such geometry/tilt, readings may fluctuate significantly, reducing reliability of fuel data — critical for monitoring in mining/construction contexts.

Therefore, correct selection and installation of fuel-level sensors must take tank shape fully into account.

Fuel Bowser (With Dispensing)

A fuel bowser (also called a refueler) is a mobile or fixed vehicle / tank used to dispense fuel to other vehicles or equipment. In an Omnicomm monitoring setup, a bowser is equipped with fuel-level sensors, telemetry, and possibly flow meters to provide accurate data on fuel dispensing, fuel remaining, and fuel losses. This helps fleet operators maintain tight control of fuel operations and reduce losses.

This configuration covers mobile fuel-delivery units (fuel bowsers / tankers) that transport and dispense fuel to vehicles and equipment, with integrated fuel-level sensing, dispensing control, and full telemetry — enabling accurate tracking of fuel issuance, delivery volumes, equipment location, and fuel balance across fleet and stationary storage.

Why Omnicomm

Reliable fuel-level sensors (LLS series) designed to handle motion, vibrations, tilting — suitable for off-road, rough-terrain agricultural machinery.

Modular telemetry and monitoring system — works across different equipment types (vehicles, stationary units, bowsers), allowing flexible deployment.

Transparent fuel accounting and dispensing logging — ensures accountability for all fuel issued or consumed, reducing possibility of unaccounted losses, theft, or misuse.

Scalable architecture — from a single tractor to a large fleet across multiple farms or fields. Data aggregation and reporting make management and decision-making easier.

Operational insights and efficiency improvements — by combining fuel consumption, location, runtime and usage data, managers can derive metrics (fuel per hectare, fuel per hour, idle vs work time), identify inefficiencies, and optimize workflows.

Diesel Locomotives

Diesel-powered locomotives — used in freight transport, shunting yards, industrial rail, mines, and long-haul railways — often consume significant amounts of fuel. Accurately monitoring fuel levels, consumption, refuels and drains, engine operating hours, and runtime behavior is essential for cost control, theft prevention, maintenance planning, and operational transparency.

A monitoring system based on fuel-level sensors, telemetry, and onboard data logging can transform a standard locomotive into a “smart” asset: enabling remote control, fuel accountability, usage analytics — which is particularly important in rail fleets, industrial complexes, mining operations, or enterprises managing multiple locomotives across sites.

Omnicomm provides advanced monitoring solutions for diesel locomotives, recommending the use of 2 to 4 LLS sensors to minimize measurement errors and ensure accurate fuel level readings. Our system offers comprehensive monitoring of essential telemetry data, enabling precise tracking of fuel consumption and operational parameters to optimize locomotive performance and maintenance.

Maritime

Marine vessels — whether cargo ships, tankers, supply barges, workboats, service vessels, or small/medium craft — operate in challenging conditions: fuel consumption is high, tanks may have non‑standard shapes, refueling may occur at ports or remote moorings, and fuel losses or theft are possible. Monitoring fuel levels, consumption, fuel transfers, engine runtime, and vessel location is critical for cost control, safety, compliance, and operational transparency.

With Omnicomm fuel‑level sensors, telemetry, and remote monitoring, shipowners and operators can equip vessels with a “smart monitoring” system — tracking fuel stock, usage, refueling events, vessel position, and generating reports for audits, fuel management, and operational planning.

Omnicomm offers specialized maritime monitoring solutions featuring LLS-Ex 5 sensors designed for large fuel tanks, ensuring precise fuel level measurements in demanding marine environments. Our system provides comprehensive monitoring of basic telemetry and additional onboard equipment, with the optional capability to transmit GPS tracker data via Wi-Fi, enabling enhanced vessel tracking and operational oversight.
