Pilferage Monitoring for Tanks

Use Case

Real-time monitoring of tanker vehicles in the supply chain

Cargo theft is on the rise in the world, impacting margins and customer satisfaction. 31% of the incidents of cargo theft in 2017 involved pilferage, also known as skimming from the top of liquid cargo loads. Thieves hope to have their activity go unnoticed until the vehicle has later reached it’s destination.

This pilferage is made possible due to the lack of monitoring capability and generally poor methods of securing tanker cargo loads. With no ability to monitor loads beyond weighing trucks at arrival and destination, it is difficult for transportation teams to fully track where suspicious events may take place. A better approach is needed to combat this rising trend that is impacting margins and customer satisfaction across the industry.
