Ensuring equitable fuel supply is critical for the economic development of all countries. In the case of developing countries, theft and tampering also contribute to potential loss during transit. The ability to provide real-time and irrefutable lock-and-seal tracking of the fuel supply chain is one of the proven applications and services of AVANTE e-Seal™ applications.
There are a variety of reasons for monitoring fuel supply and distribution depending on the national development and management strategy including at least one of the following:
- Equitable distribution of fuel as national resources such as in the case of Nigeria and other oil-rich countries.
- Secure fuel supply from theft and tampering for many East African countries in the Electronic Cargo Tracking System requirements.
- In the case of international shipping, securing oil and fuel tankers on rail and road transport is an important security and safety measure.
Web-Based Holistic End-to-End Petroleum Products Supply Chain & Real-Time Visibility and Security Management System and Services
The intrinsically safe AVANTE e-Seal™ provides security monitoring of fuel during transit to prevent any theft or tampering. For more complete monitoring of the fuel and other liquid products delivery to the designated recipient locations, AVANTE E-Seal™ Tanker Monitoring Services incorporates additional sensors in monitoring the fuel level in the various partitions of the tanker truck and direct geo-tagged flow of fuel product in-and/or-out of the API valves. These comprehensive tanker monitoring services provide:
- Quantitative fuel loading and unloading verification based on PO or ticket during tanker truck transit
- Transit geo-fence, real-time quantitative “leakage” and other exception alerts, and security management
- Quantitative geo-tagged fuel transfer to gas stations or designated recipient(s) in assuring equitable distribution in critical situations
In the representation above, AVANTE integrates the intrinsically safe E-Seal™ lock-and-seal system for securing the manholes and control panel with digital fuel tank level and in-out flow measurements of the petroleum product at the controlled valves, AVANTE monitoring solutions provide customers with the end-to-end visibility of the tanker transport on the road and rail.
End-to-End Holistic Solution in Tracking and Monitoring of the Supply Chain Security and Accountability Management of Petroleum Products with Web-Based Integrated Information and Communication Technology (24/7/365 Cellular with Failover to Satellite) Platform required to fundamentally solve the problem under existing national, social, and economic conditions:
Extending from tanker transport, with careful engineered petroleum products flow and tank level monitoring at all levels of the supply chain, coupled with advanced irrefutable e-Seal™ for security protection, a holistic system and solution for end-to-end quantitative management of the petroleum energy supply chain can be achieved in real-time.
Problems solved with AVANTE designed solution of holistic end-to-end petroleum products supply chain real-time visibility and security systems and solutions:
- Petroleum diversion to neighboring countries
- With the tamper-evident and real-time reporting of the AVANTE e-Seal™ technology, upon loading of the tanker, any attempt to remove the seal will be immediately reported with both the geo-location and date-time for immediate actionable alerts.
- Hoarding and other local “distortive” supply chain issues
- Preventable shortages of products cause economic loss and citizen inconvenience
- Distribution and supply chain losses of all kinds will be harnessed
