Q: Is there an accurate way to view my fluid tank levels and be notified when my tanks are low?

A: Running out of a fluid in a busy shop can bring things to a standstill. With Lincoln ‘s Wired Tank Monitor System, designated personnel have constant availability to fluid tank levels on their computer. Tank level readings are in real-time with updates every 15 seconds. Email notifications are sent when tank levels are low. Suitable for a variety of fluids, Lincoln’s system allows up to 10 control boxes for monitoring a total of 100 tanks.
