Application
HAWK designed and developed a PoE (Power over Ethernet) in-plant and cloud-based asset monitoring system for blending tanks and feedstock storage tanks. Unlike anything on the market, this system is uniquely different due to the communications capability of the level transmitter’s seamless PoE connectivity to the Hawk Measurement in-plant monitoring server. The server communicates on a multi-tiered server-based architecture and has the ability to access data remotely via a web portal for 24/7 monitoring from any web browser, smart device or computer. Plant level operator screens are customized to the customer’s specifications or approvals to include control room level and operations level interface screens. The graphical user interface will be common throughout, although, permissions can be set for different tiers such as plant-level, finance, or executive level. If any troubleshooting is required, the HawkEye 365™ will communicate to remote service technicians for off-site diagnostics, sensor health, and re-configuration without ever climbing a tank, or entering the facility.
