This configuration covers heavy‑duty equipment commonly used in mining, construction, road works, earth‑moving, or quarries: excavators, bulldozers, dump trucks, loaders, cranes, generators, stationary equipment, etc. The goal is to monitor fuel consumption, equipment operation (hours, load, idle time), location / geofencing, and fuel supply/dispensing for improved efficiency, safety and cost control.

Typical Equipment Configuration

	OMNICOMM LLS 5 fuel level sensors are exceptionally robust, extremely precise (99.5% accuracy), totally reliable (highest possible ingress protection rating of IP69k) and super-safe. They deliver consistently high accuracy in even the harshest conditions.​ This sensor is ideal for both vehicles and stationary fuel storage facilities, guaranteeing seamless operation and maximum economic efficiency. OMNICOMM LLS 5 using unique fuel analysis technology FUELSCAN® developed by OMNICOMM which compares the physical characteristics of filled fuel with the characteristics of the fuel used for calibration to introduce a correction coefficient that automatically adjusts sensor readings to deliver accurate measurements. It means that no additional calibrations will be required.
	KTZ-MX is the extension cable, with options from 10-15-20 meters, to connect LLS-Ex 5 (located in hazardous area) to BIS-MX (located in the safe zone).
	OMNICOMM Profi is a high-tech GPS-tracker designed for use in challenging environments. It is ideal for vehicles operating under extreme conditions, including construction and agricultural machinery, mining equipment, and heavy-duty vehicles. With IP54 protection, Profi ensures reliable navigation and monitoring, delivering accurate data even in the most remote locations.​ Using OMNICOMM Profi in heavy industries allows efficient tracking of machinery even under the most demanding conditions. Integrated with the OMNICOMM Online platform, this solution provides full fleet control, enhancing productivity and reducing risks. Its durable and reliable construction ensures stable operation even in the harshest environments, maintaining connectivity and supporting real-time processes.
	OMNICOMM ICON is a modern multifunctional display designed to show key vehicle performance parameters in real time. ICON provides drivers with timely and clear information, improving control over fuel consumption, speed, engine operating modes, and other critical indicators. The display integrates with the vehicle monitoring system, optimizing equipment use and enhancing safety. ICON is used together with OMNICOMM GPS trackers and/or up to 4 LLS digital fuel level sensors and reads the data through the RS-485 digital interface.​ ICON helps transport and logistics companies monitor vehicle operation, reduce fuel costs, and prevent emergencies.

Key Advantages and Strengths:

• The LLS sensors (LLS 4 or LLS 5) are purpose-built for heavy machinery, with high environmental resistance: robust casing, sealed connections, dust/water resistance, and ability to operate under heavy vibrations, jolts, dirt — common in mining/construction sites.
• High measurement accuracy ensures real fuel level readings even when fuel sloshing or varying fuel densities, which helps avoid under- or overestimation due to harsh operating conditions or terrain changes.
• Continuous, real‑time monitoring of fuel level enables immediate detection of refuels, draining, leaks, or unauthorized fuel removal — crucial in remote job‑site operations where manual fuel checks are impractical.

Why Omnicomm

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.
