Smart Inventory Management System

Design Criteria, Inc. has developed a system for monitoring the weight of tanks containing liquids or solids. The system reports data to a host computer.

Our smart inventory mangament systems are remote monitoring devices that automatically measure the amount of liquid in sealed tanks 24 hours a day and automatically calls a host computer to report the status of the tank contents. A custom base will be inserted under the tank. The base is connected to a control box using a cable that is attached to the base. A link to the user's phone line is the only external connection the management system needs. Calling times can be selected by the user which will minimize phone line interruptions. Installation of the management system is transparent and simple and does not interrupt or affect the flow of liquid. Usage reports are generated by the host software. This information can be used to notify the customer or supplier that a tank needs refilling or to verify delivery of liquid. Monitoring services are also available from Design Criteria, Inc. for a monthly fee.
