Accurate Volume Monitoring for Palm Oil Storage Tanks
Replace manual tank dipping, reduce CPO volume discrepancies, and give your team continuous inventory visibility using non-contact acoustic IoT sensors.

Storage visibility
The Cost of Limited Storage Visibility
Managing thousands of hectares often meant working reactively, with much of the week spent coordinating manual dipstick measurements and estimating daily volumes.
Manual Inspection Risks
Field hands climb 10-meter storage tanks daily for dipstick checks, which is slow, hazardous, and inconsistent.
Business cost: Fall risk on storage gantries
Inventory Discrepancies
Unreliable liquid level estimates cause foam misreads, delayed offloading, and unaccounted oil loss.
Business cost: Thousands in unaccounted CPO each quarter
Logistics Deadhead
Tanker fleets arrive on site without accurate storage readings, which creates refinery bottlenecks.
Business cost: Idle trucks and demurrage fees
From Acoustic Pulse to Usable Volume Data
Non-contact acoustic resonance maps the tank interior, calibrates against liquid density, and sends the first reading across dense canopy to the central dashboard.
-
01
Non-Invasive Deployment
Bolt oDSou onto any standard torrent or CPO storage tank hatch in under 30 minutes.
No drilling or plant shutdown required.
-
02
Acoustic Precision Sensing
Downward acoustic waves measure the liquid level.
The reading cuts through steam, vapor, and foam, and adjusts for foam layers and changing temperature.
-
03
Cloud Sync
Data transmits across remote plantations over a solar-backed LoRaWAN or satellite link.
Readings feed directly into your central ERP and mobile command app.
Continuous Visibility of Your Highest Value Asset
Within six months, manual tank dipping dropped to zero, volume tracking brought storage discrepancy below 0.2%, and truck dispatch was better scheduled, reducing operating overhead by more than 18%.
