I n n o v a t i o n I n n o v a t i o n At MOTOREX, innovation is for developing pioneering lubricants and also for improving the supply infrastructure. MOTOREX’S EASYTANK wireless tank monitoring system is a pioneering supply solution. A calibrated counter records the exact amount delivered, which is then printed off on a printer in the truck. 8 Fill her up! MOTOREX EASYTANK Every day the sensor in a registered tank sends up-to-date information on fluid levels by text message to the computer in MOTOREX’s scheduling department. Today an increasing number of garages and companies have central lubricating oil and maintenance fluid tanks. Products can be obtained from filling pumps located within easy reach of every workplace and, if necessary, assigned electronically to the appropriate customer account. Real customer need MOTOREX recognized the need for wireless tank level monitoring at an early stage thanks to its regular contact with its customers, and developed MOTOREX EASYTANK in partnership with logistics specialists. This is how it works: Customers can have up to four tanks with a minimum capacity of 1,500 liters. These are fitted with an accurate system of level measuring sensors and hooked up to MOTOREX’s computerized system. Every day the level in the tanks is measured using cellphone text messaging. Once the minimum level – say 25% – is reached, an e-mail is sent to the customer notifying them of the need to replenish stocks of the appropriate product. This means that customers are aware of impending deliveries at all times. Obvious advantages EASYTANK marks a further expansion of MOTOREX’s service activities. Customers benefit from a comprehensive package of services offering several advantages such as: • attractive conditions because products are transported “loose” • empty container handling eliminated • need to measure levels eliminated • high reliability of supply • reduced administrative effort • reduced environmental impact due to less packaging During rigorous testing in a pilot project, MOTOREX EASYTANK’s operational reliability was impressive. The system is ideal for the fully automatic management of regularly needed products. Furthermore, it eliminates the risk of mix-ups, such as ordering the wrong viscosity. As such EASYTANK is a welcome reduction in workload for every purchasing department. By tanker to your door MOTOREX uses specially equipped tankers for EASYTANK. These are capable of carrying products either in containers with a capacity of up to 1,000 liters or in tank compartments. This means that relatively small quantities can be delivered quickly. Filler points can be up to 25 meters away from the tanker. Once filling is complete, the customer is given a receipt specifying the amount delivered. This amount is deducted from the oil contract and billed. For industrial operations too The concept of “loose” deliveries of lubricants by tanker has its origins in manufacturing industry. For example, large metalworking companies often purchase large quantities of cutting oils and cooling lubricants and store them in a central tank. With the modernization and rationalization of garage operations, it seemed logical to adopt this tried-and-tested approach. All users are given a password that enables them to log into the EASY- TANK website and check levels and other information about the products they use. At the moment, EASYTANK is only available in Switzerland. Your usual contact person in Internal Sales will also be happy to give you an update on the recorded data at any time. The EASYTANK supply truck brings exactly the right amount of the product you need without any packaging. 9
