Above-Ground Tank Monitoring
Bring near-real-time visibility to above-ground tanks with best-in-class cellular sensors — no ATG, no site network, years of battery life.
Best-in-class, industrial-grade sensors built for outdoor environments
Cellular connectivity — no site network infrastructure required
Years of battery life with minimal maintenance
No ATG needed — sensors report directly to the Kii cloud
Same unified dashboard as underground tanks — one platform for all assets
Near-real-time fill level, volume, and temperature data
Threshold-based alerts for low inventory, high levels, and anomalies
Supports petroleum, water, oil, waste, and other liquid storage applications
Monitoring Tanks Beyond the ATG
Not every tank sits above an ATG in a convenience store forecourt. Bulk plants, fleet fueling depots, generator tanks, agricultural storage, water facilities, and waste management operations rely on above-ground tanks that have traditionally been managed through manual stick readings, visual inspections, or simply left unmonitored.
Kii’s above-ground tank monitoring capability extends the same continuous visibility, alerting, and analytics that operators rely on for underground tanks — without requiring an ATG or any existing site infrastructure.
How It Works
Kii deploys best-in-class, cellular-connected level sensors directly on above-ground tanks. These industrial-grade devices measure liquid levels and transmit readings to the Kii cloud platform over cellular networks. No site network, no power infrastructure, no IT involvement.
Once connected, above-ground tanks appear in the same Kii dashboard alongside underground tanks — operators manage their entire liquid inventory from a single platform regardless of tank type or location.
Built for the Field
Above-ground tanks are exposed to the elements and often located at remote or unstaffed sites. The sensors deployed by Kii are designed accordingly:
- Industrial-grade enclosures — weatherproof and durable, rated for outdoor installation in harsh conditions
- Years of battery life — deployed once, maintained rarely. Battery longevity is measured in years, not months
- Cellular connectivity — operates independently of any site network using dedicated cellular IoT connections
- Simple installation — no specialized tools, training, or infrastructure modifications required
Applications
Above-ground tank monitoring is applicable to a wide range of industries and tank types:
- Petroleum — bulk fuel storage at distribution terminals, fleet fueling depots, and secondary storage locations
- Water — potable water storage, fire suppression reserves, irrigation tanks, and municipal storage
- Oil — lubricant storage, hydraulic fluid tanks, and used oil collection
- Waste — waste oil tanks, wastewater holding tanks, and chemical storage
- Agriculture — diesel and fertilizer tanks at farms and rural operations
- Generators — fuel tanks powering backup generators at commercial and industrial sites
Unified Platform
While underground tank monitoring provides a significantly richer data set — including environmental compliance, leak detection, and POS integration — above-ground tanks benefit from the same core platform for level monitoring, alerting, and analytics. Both tank types appear in the same Kii dashboard, allowing operators to view their entire liquid inventory from a single interface.
For petroleum distributors managing USTs at convenience stores alongside above-ground tanks at bulk plants, this means portfolio-level visibility without switching between separate systems.
