Solution · Agriculture telematics

Catch the harvest fuel that walks off the field.

Fuel monitoring across the agricultural supply chain: yard tank to field bowser to working machine. Built for harvest season, when consumption is highest and supervision is thinnest.

What you have today

The yard tank drops faster than machine reports. Bowsers return lighter than expected. Across one season this can mean thousands of liters gone with no clean reconciliation.

What we add

DUT-E on machines and bowsers, CAN readout on modern tractors, and geofenced field-side draw logs. Yard-bowser-machine reconciliation closes automatically at end of day.

What you'll see

A whole harvest, machine by machine, day by day.

Daily totals roll up to a season view with peak days, rain days, machine mix, and versus-last-season context. Reports are generated automatically for ops and accounting.

  • Daily totals by machine - combines, tractors, sprayers, and telehandlers across the whole harvest.
  • Bowser reconciliation - every yard refill and field dispense matched at end of day.
  • Off-season alerts - any draw on parked equipment outside work windows triggers an alert.

Two ways to do it

Direct sensors for older fleet, CAN reading for modern tractors.

Most farms run mixed-age equipment. Fastest ROI is usually hybrid rollout: DUT-E where precision is critical, CAN where fast deployment is needed.

How it fits together

Machine + bowser + yard chain in one telemetry loop.

Multi-source sensing combines machine tanks, CAN readings, and bowser/yard storage into one daily reconciliation flow.
