Genset Monitoring
Generator sets (gensets) are widely used as primary or backup power sources in industrial facilities, construction sites, remote operations, telecom towers, mining camps, and critical infrastructure. Continuous monitoring of fuel levels, engine runtime, load patterns, and consumption is essential for preventing downtime, ensuring reliable operation, optimizing fuel use, and detecting theft or abnormal behavior.
Omnicomm fuel-level sensors and telematics solutions enable accurate, real-time monitoring of genset fuel tanks and operating parameters. This helps operators maintain fuel autonomy, plan timely refueling, reduce fuel losses, and improve overall equipment efficiency.
