Starting with the propane industry, Otodata revolutionised LPG distributors’ operations with innovative telemetry systems, enhancing efficiency and reducing costs.
Today, the company continues to transform liquid fuel tank telemetry with cutting-edge innovations, offering tailored solutions for diverse tank types and monitored products.
We spoke with Guy Lanrezac, General Manager Otodata Europe, who shares the latest advancements in telemetry solutions. Guy also explains how Otodata is developing new hardware and software solutions to meet the evolving needs of distributors as well as significantly improving effectiveness and reducing cost, making them an option for the entire distributor community.
Tailored solutions for every tank
Delivering precision and reliability for all tank types and contents, Otodata offers the industry’s most comprehensive range of sensors for liquid fuel tanks. Building on its LPG expertise, Otodata recognises the unique challenges of monitoring various tank types and contents, providing solutions that ensure accuracy and operational reliability.
Key innovations include:
- Hydrostatic pressure sensors: Ideal for large tanks or hard-to-reach fittings.
- Capacitive sensors: Bluetooth-enabled for high precision, allowing one monitor to communicate with up to eight tanks or barrels.
- Float sensors: A simple, robust, and cost-effective option with a display for heating oil tanks.
- Radar solutions: Perfect for IBC tanks and specialised products like AdBlue.
These advanced sensors empower fuel and lubricant businesses to optimise inventory management, streamline deliveries, and reduce costs while meeting the diverse demands of their operations.
Seamless fuel management with the Nee-Vo app
By giving users full control of their fuel management anytime, anywhere, the Nee-Vo app ensures a seamless and real-time fuel management experience. Designed to complement Otodata’s telemetry systems, the app provides both distributors and end users with unparalleled convenience and functionality.
With the Nee-Vo app, users can:
- Monitor in real-time: Track tank levels, usage history, and refill schedules directly from a smartphone.
- Set custom alerts: Receive notifications for low levels, upcoming deliveries, or unusual usage patterns.
- Request refills and make payments: Simplify operations with integrated options.
- Boost brand visibility: Use white-labelling and in-app promotions to engage customers and strengthen branding.
For distributors, the Nee-Vo app is a powerful tool to streamline workflows, enhance customer satisfaction, and build stronger brand loyalty.
Revolutionising tank monitoring with Direct-to-Application technology
Simplifying telemetry adoption with cost-effective, user-friendly solutions, Otodata’s Direct-to-Application (DTA) technology is transforming the way tank monitoring is approached. This innovative system eliminates excessive hardware requirements by using capacitive and float sensors that reduce installation expenses while maintaining exceptional performance.
DTA technology allows sensors to communicate directly with the end user’s smartphone via the white-labelled Nee-Vo app, creating a seamless plug-and-play experience. For tank manufacturers, this provides an opportunity to integrate telemetry as a default feature during production, delivering unmatched value to fuel distributors and their customers.
By ensuring cost-effectiveness and simplicity, DTA technology is opening the door to broader adoption and more accessible telemetry solutions across the industry.
Leading the future of tank telemetry
Scalable, reliable, and future-ready, Otodata’s solutions are tailored to meet the evolving needs of distributors and manufacturers. From managing large inventories to embedding telemetry into manufactured tanks, Otodata continues to lead the way in innovation.
We look forward to hearing more from Otodata, a company determined to deliver the next generation of tank monitoring and make it accessible to all.
