Tank for liquid fuels

LevelPoint Level
Tank for liquid fuels

Overview

Large amounts of energy are needed to burn clinker in rotary kilns. Substitute liquid fuels such as spent oils or recovered solvents are often used for this purpose. The fuel storage tanks often contain a mixture of solvents, which can produce fumes and vapours in the air space. Due to the large amount of energy needed in cement production, the fuel inputs represent a significant cost factor, so accurate level measurement is essential.

VEGA Inventory System

Inventory System

VEGA Inventory System (VIS) is a web-based software for real-time data acquisition, visualization, and logistics management of inventory levels in storage tanks and silos. Companies can manage their inventories proactively, ensuring greater flexibility in delivery schedules, expanding optimization options, and reducing stock discrepancies. Precise, real-time visualization of stocks allows deviations to be quickly identified, minimizing financial impact. The system combines reliable VEGA measurement technology for liquids and bulk solids with secure cloud-based or on-premises software, providing the basis for intelligent and strategic decisions for optimal inventory management. VIS supports both internal inventory monitoring and Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) applications, where suppliers manage customer stock replenishment using real-time level data.

  • Real-time inventory monitoring across all connected storage locations via web browser or mobile app
  • Four visualization modes — Chart, Graphic, Map, and Trend — for comprehensive stock visibility
  • Color-coded traffic light status system (green/yellow/red) for instant stock level assessment
