The Task
Malary is a trusted name in innovative UK industrial site services, waste processing/ recycling and PFO production. One customer was concerned about fuel run-outs potentially stopping production for Government infrastructure contracts. Manual stock checking was inefficient and potentially unsafe on 10m high tanks. They asked for an IIoT solution to overcome these concerns.
The Solution
PowTechnology were recommended. Solar-powered Metron technology, with battery backup was safely installed on an Upper Tier COMAH trial site. Hourly, automatic fuel level updates via our secure MetronView cloud enable efficient re-ordering. Historic usage data assists stock planning and alerts identify unusual activity, which could indicate leakage, contamination and maintenance needs.
The Result
Successful trials preceded a full rollout. Malary’s customer is confident in this digital transformation solution and delighted that production has never been affected by a fuel run-out. Deliveries are planned for maximum efficiency. Using solar power has also helped them conform to Environmental, Social & Corporate Governance and ISO14001 commitments.
