The Pertamina gas station did not have accurate fuel stocks when valued partner, PT Panji Perkasa, visitied the site. After initial discussions and an explanation on the benefits of accurate fuel stocks to increase operational efficiencies, Pertamina agreed to the ProGauge^™ 3D Laser Scan Automatic Tank Calibration service and ProGauge MagLink LX 4^® console installation.

As Pertamina did not have any underground cabling or ducting from the fuel tanks to the office and the option to install the ducting was not in scope, due to disruption to both the site and customers, the decision was made to use ProGauge^™ Wireless probes. These probes were used as they do not require any underground digging and can faciliate cable installation with minimum disruption.The installtion was completed in record time with minimal disruption to both the site and more improtanlty customer.

The first part if the project was completed using the 3D Laser Scan solution, while waiting for the table charts, the PT Panji Team conducted additional preparations, such as calculation and measurement of the tanks, probe risers, and arranging the position for the ProGauge RF Receiver and the Maglink LX 4 console.

After only two days of installation works, one of which was used solely for testing, the Pertamina site was up and running with a new MagLink LX 4 console enablling greater operational eficiences and accurate fuel stock information. This installation timeline was much faster than PT Panji Perkasa expected due to the RF probe, when compared to normal cable installtion from other products.
