Craggs Energy Technical Manager
The Task
Craggs Energy supplies over 50 million litres per annum of fuels and lubricants to UK homes, farms and businesses via three depots and a national partner network. Taking manual readings was awkward and hazardous on four 230,000 litre tanks at their Padiham Depot.
The Solution
PowTechnology’s Metron telemetry hardware now measures level on all four tanks, automatically sending data and low level alerts via PowTechnology’s MetronView cloud. Post installation, transmit intervals were remotely increased via MetronView to report levels hourly.
The Result
With the PowTechnology telemetry solution installed, regular data and low-level alerts are reported to multiple users, including colleagues based 25 miles away, ensuring that these huge tanks are stocked up and ready to fill the fleet for daily deliveries.
