Digi International announced a strategic alliance with TankScan, a global tank monitoring system provider and division of ATEK Products.

TankScan is using Digi's ConnectPort X cellular and Ethernet gateways and the iDigi Device Cloud to enable remote access and management of storage tank information. The gateways transmit tank data via cellular and/or Ethernet connections to the network, allowing customers to access remote tank information from anywhere in the world. TankScan also uses the iDigi Device Cloud to simplify system installation, maintenance and support.

“Digi allowed us to enhance our product offering by providing a Wide Area Network (WAN) connection over cellular and Ethernet where none existed before,” said Jim Bartel, president, TankScan. “We can now remotely monitor our tanks to streamline the distribution process and improve customer service. This is enabling us to penetrate new markets with an enhanced tank monitoring solution. Digi handles the connectivity while we focus on our core competency of tank monitoring and growing our business.”

The TankScan system featuring Digi wireless gateways and iDigi Device Cloud means their customers no longer need to send technicians on-site for tank level updates. It also optimizes distribution by ensuring trucks are deployed only when necessary and enabling optimized routes.
