Remote Propane Tank Monitoring - EAMS Technologies

Many propane distributors and users rely on manual inspection or estimated usage to manage fuel levels. This leads to unexpected run-outs, emergency deliveries, inefficient routing, and higher labor costs. In addition, lack of visibility over customer tank levels makes it hard to optimize delivery schedules or scale operations reliably.

The ioX‑Connect Propane Tank Monitoring solution solves these challenges by retrofitting LoRaWAN sensors to existing R3D-compatible propane gauges. These sensors relay real-time level data over LoRaWAN to the ioX Connect IoT platform. In the platform, users access a centralized dashboard, view consumption trends, configure alerts, and gain actionable insights to better manage operations.

With continuous monitoring, distributors can plan deliveries based on actual tank usage rather than guesswork. They can consolidate routes, reduce emergency service calls, and allocate resources more effectively. End users also benefit—they get peace of mind that their propane supply will not unexpectedly lapse, and they can monitor usage to better plan refills.

Moreover, safety is improved since low level alerts can prevent hazardous conditions associated with fuel depletion. The system supports scalable deployments—from single residential tanks to large industrial estates—using low-power, long-range LoRaWAN connectivity, minimizing maintenance and infrastructure overhead.
