Tanker trucks fuel monitoring
Fuel delivery companies want to be sure that the volume of fuel poured into a tanker truck will be delivered to their customers completely, and the fuel will not be “lost” along the way. Therefore, the main fuel control task of tanker trucks is monitoring of dispensed volumes and, if possible, balance in compartments. At the [...]
Why DFM flow meter is the optimal solution for diesel generator fuel control?
1. Genset fuel consumption and remaining volume monitoring Diesel generators are usually equipped with a flat tank, which makes fuel control using level sensors problematic and less accurate. At the same time, fuel monitoring with flow meter provides accurate data on instant, total and differential fuel consumption, and also allows calculating level in a tank [...]
Wireless fuel flow meters: same accuracy, quicker installation
DFM fuel flow meters – smart devices for accurate measurement of real engine total fuel used, understand how much fuel was spent in idling, normal and overload operation and how long an engine was working in each of those operation modes. Implementation of DFM fuel flow meters allow fleet managers to: increase transparency of fuel [...]
Technoton is a participant of the TelematicsCEEurope 2022 conference
Technoton is one of the exhibitors of #TCEE22. Technoton team invites you and will be glad to see at the conference . Join us on 15 September 2022, in Ljubljana, Slovenia. You can read more about the event at the link: https://www.telematics-conference.com/
Why to start tracking engine operation time and workloads?
Monitoring equipment operation time by engine hour meter provides only information about total operating time, which is not enough for an objective measurement of equipment operation modes, correct accounting of work performed and optimal maintenance schedule. Vehicle telematics systems, that include DFM fuel flow meters can automate engine run time and performance monitoring, thus allowing fleet [...]

Top-3 hot telematics tasks for DFM
Flow meter is the most accurate fuel consumption measurement tool for vehicles and stationary machines. DFM flow meters are used in fuel systems of 1-25,000 l/h flow rates, while a variety of available interfaces allows connecting DFM to well-known GPS trackers, telematics boxes and NMEA displays. Unlike other technical solutions, DFM flow meters can solve [...]
Fuel monitoring for mining equipment
More than 2/3 of fleet budget is fuel and maintenance costs. An accurate fuel monitoring system can save up to 30% of those costs, also allowing to extend the lifetime of mining equipment. Mining equipment operates in harsh climate and terrain conditions, so the most suitable tool for monitoring fuel consumption and engine operation modes [...]
Technoton products are compatible with Garmin chartplotter
Technoton has completed compatibility testing of MasterCAN S7 NMEA data converter and Garmin GPSmap 1022xsv chartplotter (sonar, display) using NMEA 2000 protocol. The combined use of products is intended for sea and river vessels: small and medium-sized private, fishing and work ships. This provides additional opportunities for live fuel rate monitoring, determining the cruising range, [...]
