Wireless Tank Monitoring Systems for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF)

The Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) market is growing fast in North America, and is forecasted to become a large market segment in the very near future. TankLink is on the leading edge, partnering with major DEF manufacturers, distributors, and fleets to provide monitoring for their tank and tote needs. TankLink is not a newcomer to DEF - we've been monitoring Urea, the primary component of DEF, for 5 years, and DEF for 2 years, and were the first to monitor DEF totes.

DEF became a must-have product for new diesel engines in 2010 - running out of product is unacceptable, as engines need DEF to operate and will become crippled or stalled if they run out, costing drivers and equipment operators valuable time and money. Thus for manufacturers and distributors, monitoring their DEF tanks is also a must-have, for tank level, location, temperature, route planning, and managing transportation costs efficiently. TankLink provides all of this critical data to accomplish this on a 24/7 basis, available virtually anywhere in the world. By providing desktop access to DEF inventory data, TankLink helps enhance operations by reducing run-outs, eliminating emergency deliveries, improving resource planning, and tightening up your entire supply chain.

Whether it's stored in a bulk, mini-bulk, or tote/IBC tank, DEF purity and proper handling is essential to product quality at every stage in the distribution process. Monitoring your bulk inventory with TankLink's wireless cellular solution gives you the tools and data you need to proactively service your customers, all the while ensuring DEF purity standards and performance are met.
