Automatic Tank Gauges (ATG)
OTS’s automatic tank gauge solutions, offering advanced gauge systems for accurate fuel level monitoring, leak detection, and compliance assurance.
Comprehensive Fuel Management with Automatic Tank Gauges
An automatic tank gauge (ATG), is an electronic monitoring system that continuously measures fuel levels, temperature, and tank conditions without the need for manual dipping. By providing accurate, real-time data, automatic gauges improve inventory control, enhance safety, and support compliance across fuel storage operations.
OTS Group supplies and installs industry-leading automatic tank gauge systems designed for commercial, industrial, and multi-site operations.
Automatic Tank Gauges (ATGs)
OTS proudly works with Gilbarco Veeder-Root (GVR), a global leader in automatic tank gauge technology, to deliver reliable, compliant, and high-performance ATG systems.
How Do They Work?
-
Centralised Control: Use the Centralised Device Management (CDM) system to remotely oversee software upgrades, backups, and capture snapshots of console data, ensuring uniformity across the TLS Series consoles.
Secure Environment: Defend against data losses, creating a safe operational framework that guarantees data security through timely software enhancements.
Efficient Multi-site Management: Efficiently administer multiple site configurations and operations from a centralised location, promoting consistency and ease of access.
-
Magnetostrictive Technology: Employs cutting-edge magnetostrictive sensing to measure fuel height, liquid temperature, and detect water presence in underground storage tanks.
Precise Leak Detection: The TLS Automatic Tank Gauges incorporate the data from magnetostrictive probes to provide industry-leading in-tank leak detection, assisting in daily, monthly, and yearly compliance management.
In-Tank Calibration: The inclusion of AccuChart™ software ensures a meticulous tank chart is crafted, which minimises fuel variances, optimising inventory accuracy.
-
Versatile Monitoring: Features sensors designed for double-wall tanks, brine reservoirs, monitoring wells, and sumps, guaranteeing comprehensive leak detection.
Real-time Alerts: Immediate notification mechanisms in place to alert operators to potential leaks, low fuel levels and irregularities in tank pressure, ensuring rapid response and mitigation. Get alerts via SMS, email, or system-based alerts, to keep you informed at all times.
Compliance Assured: Leverages technologies like Continuous Statistical Leak Detection (CSLD) for constant monitoring, which employs statistical analysis to generate a database for reporting, aiding in regulatory compliance.
Key Benefits of Automatic Tank Gauges:
Improved Inventory Accuracy and Loss Prevention
With magnetostrictive probe technology and precise in-tank calibration, automatic tank gauges deliver highly accurate fuel level measurements. This minimises stock variances, reduces the risk of undetected losses, and improves reconciliation between deliveries and dispensing data.
Real-Time Visibility and User-Friendly Reporting
Automatic tank gauges provide clear, intuitive dashboards and streamlined reporting tools that eliminate manual record-keeping. Operators can access live fuel level data, alarms, and historical reports instantly, improving day-to-day operational control.
Enhanced Business Analytics and Performance Insights
By combining precise tank data with advanced reporting capabilities, automatic gauge systems provide valuable insights into fuel consumption patterns and site performance. This supports better decision-making, reduced discrepancies, and improved cost control across single or multi-site operations.
Environmental Protection and Risk Mitigation
Continuous leak detection and real-time alerts help prevent environmental incidents before they escalate. By identifying water ingress, pressure changes, or potential leaks early, automatic tank gauge systems reduce environmental risk and support responsible fuel storage practices.
Worry-Free Regulatory Compliance
Automatic tank gauge systems support compliance with environmental and fuel storage regulations through automated testing schedules, detailed audit trails, and industry-recognised certifications. This simplifies reporting requirements and ensures your installation meets regulatory standards.
Secure Data Management and System Protection
Modern ATG systems operate within secure digital environments, supported by regular software updates and robust cybersecurity measures. Server-based management and controlled user access protect operational data and maintain system integrity across all connected sites.
Expert Installations and Ongoing Support
OTS Group provides end-to-end support to ensure your automatic tank gauge system is installed and commissioned correctly from day one. From site surveys and customised recommendations to training and ongoing maintenance, our team ensures long-term reliability and performance.
Automatic Tank Gauge FAQs
-
A manual gauge requires physical inspection of the tank to measure fuel levels, often using dipsticks or sight gauges. An automatic gauge uses electronic sensors to continuously monitor tank levels, temperature, and condition, providing accurate real-time data without manual intervention.
-
Yes. Automatic tank gauge systems can be retrofitted to many existing above-ground and underground fuel storage tanks. OTS carries out site surveys to assess compatibility and recommend the most suitable probe and console configuration for your installation.
-
Yes. OTS automatic tank gauge systems can integrate with wider fuel management systems, allowing fuel level data to align with dispensing records, vehicle usage, and remote monitoring dashboards.
-
Yes. Automatic tank gauge systems can be configured for multi-tank installations and a wide range of fuels & liquids, including diesel, AdBlue, biodiesel, and other specialist fuels. OTS works with clients to tailor probe configurations, sensor types, and reporting outputs to suit the specific operational and regulatory requirements of each site.
-
Like all monitoring equipment, automatic gauges require periodic inspection and calibration to ensure accuracy. OTS provides servicing and support to maintain long-term performance and reliability.
