Tank level and inventory reconciliation

Illustrative scenario — representative of common industrial IoT applications

Measured tank level reconciled against what the paperwork said was in there.

A bulk chemical storage operation

No client is named, no logo is shown and no figure here was measured at any site (R2).

How it went.

Every study on this site runs the same four beats, in the same order.

  1. 01

    Alert

    Inventory on paper and inventory in the tank drift apart. The gap is only discovered at count, and by then nobody can explain it.

  2. 02

    Cost

    Continuous reconciliation — Measured volume compared against booked inventory, every day.

  3. 03

    Fix

    Level sensors on the storage tanks · Volume conversion by tank geometry · Daily measured-vs-booked comparison in the dashboard

  4. 04

    Restored

The problem

Inventory on paper and inventory in the tank drift apart. The gap is only discovered at count, and by then nobody can explain it.

What would be installed

  • Level sensors on the storage tanks
  • Volume conversion by tank geometry
  • Daily measured-vs-booked comparison in the dashboard

What changes

Before — A variance discovered at count After — A variance visible the day it appears

The number

Continuous reconciliation — Measured volume compared against booked inventory, every day. Illustrative scenario, not a client result. Figure is representative, not measured. [TOM-REVIEW]
