Tank Level Monitoring System (TMS): Fluid Level in Every Tank

MANTRAZ's tank level monitoring system reads fluid level in each tank on a schedule and brings it into your dashboard as a live number and a history. It works with more than one type of level sensor, so the same system can cover tanks that are set up very differently from one another.

How the tank level monitoring system reads a tank

• a sensor reads the fluid level in the tank at a set interval
• readings are sent to MANTRAZ and shown on the dashboard
• every change is stored, not just the current reading
• alerts fire when a level reaches a condition you set
• the trend helps you follow how fluid inventory in that tank is moving

Built for different tanks, not one sensor type

Tanks on a vessel are rarely all the same. A fuel tank, a fresh water tank and a ballast tank can each call for a different sensor, and the same type of tank on two vessels can still be installed differently. MANTRAZ's tank level monitoring system is not built around one fixed sensor — the sensor fitted to each tank is chosen to match the tank type, the fluid, how it is installed, the accuracy needed and how the vessel or facility operates.

Why level data matters beyond a single reading

Tank level monitoring is one of the basic building blocks of IoT-based asset management aboard a vessel. A level reading on its own only tells you what is in the tank right now, but tracking it over time supports questions that come up in daily operations: planning a fill, watching inventory, noticing a tank trending toward empty or full before it becomes a problem, and working maintenance schedules around what a tank is actually holding.

The same level history also feeds into the reports and alerts your team already relies on elsewhere in MANTRAZ, so a tank's level is never just a number sitting on its own screen.

Who uses it

Operators and crew use tank level monitoring to see fluid levels without a manual check. Fleet managers and office teams use the trend and alerts to plan refills and catch an empty or overfilled tank before it disrupts operations. Technical teams choose the sensor that fits each tank when a vessel is fitted out.

Fitting it to your tanks

Every vessel's tanks are different, so setting up a tank level monitoring system starts with looking at what you already have onboard. To see how it can be set up on your own tanks, contact the team for a demo.
