the port has been significant and discussions
are now underway to expand the fleet!”
reported Joe Kigara, CEO at Simplytrak (Kenya)
who commissioned the tender.
An ATEX and IECEx approved level
gauging system, VisiLevel uses patented
and proven technology to identify a tanker’s
fuel content, by measuring the volume,
temperature, density and colour.
This unique gauging system ensures that
the date, time and location is recorded when
the fuel tanker makes its delivery. When linked
to MechTronic’s bespoke cloud-based tracking
system, actual loaded product information is
automatically uploaded to the tracking system,
and using the metered delivery information,
the product left onboard the tanker at the end
of the day is reconciled. An end-of-shift report
can be easily created to identify any stock
variations, guaranteeing the security of both
the onboard product and tanker.
Since VisiLevel’s successful launch into
Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire-based Global Services, a
distributor of fuel management systems within
Africa, has purchased VisiLevel.
“We wanted a solution that would enable
our customer to monitor, track and ensure that
their customers are receiving an untampered
product,” said Global Services.
“With drivers travelling some two to three
thousand kilometres over a period of several
weeks, unfortunately fuel discrepancies and
tampering can happen.
“However, with VisiLevel’s introduction
and its tailor-made audit tracking capabilities,
we can ensure our individual customers’
requirements are met, with the software
automatically issuing text and email alerts
when fuel levels drop by a specific level.
“Since installation, our customers have
been able to track exactly where fuel is leaving
the tanker or when the fuel is being tampered
with – providing operators with a tool to end
fuel discrepancies and save valuable product
and money.”
MechTronic has seen repeat orders for
Kenya with significant orders due for the Ivory
Coast and South Africa.
