Remote Propane Monitoring
Propane Tank Level Monitoring
Know every tank's fill level without rolling a truck. Rivio's LTE cellular sensors report propane levels in real time — from residential 120-gallon tanks to 30,000-gallon bulk storage. Get low-level alerts, optimize delivery routes, and eliminate run-outs before they happen.

How Propane Tank Monitoring Works
01
Sensor Reads Tank Level
A pressure sensor or dial gauge reader attaches to the tank and measures the propane fill level continuously — no drilling, no tank modification.
02
LTE Sends Data to Rivio
Built-in cellular transmits readings from rural routes, remote storage yards, and customer sites — no Wi-Fi, no gateways, no local infrastructure.
03
Dashboard Drives Deliveries
Live levels across all tanks on one map. Low-level alerts trigger delivery scheduling. Fill history optimizes routes and prevents run-outs.
Who Uses Propane Tank Level Monitoring
Any operation that delivers, stores, or consumes propane benefits from real-time level visibility.
🏠
Residential Propane Delivery
Monitor customer tanks remotely. Replace calendar-based deliveries with demand-driven routes — fewer truck rolls, zero run-outs.
🏭
Commercial & Industrial
Track propane consumption at restaurants, warehouses, greenhouses, and manufacturing sites. Automated alerts when tanks hit reorder points.
🌾
Agricultural Operations
Grain drying, irrigation pumps, and livestock heating consume propane seasonally. Real-time monitoring prevents mid-season dry tanks.
🏗️
Construction Sites
Temporary heat, concrete curing, and welding consume propane fast. Monitor remote job-site tanks without sending a driver to check.
⛽
Bulk Storage & Terminals
Fleet-wide visibility across 1,000+ gallon bulk tanks. Level trends, fill rate analytics, and multi-site dashboards.
🏔️
Off-Grid & Remote Locations
Cabins, cell towers, and remote infrastructure depend on propane. LTE sensors report levels where Wi-Fi doesn't reach.
Why Propane Operators Choose Rivio
Works With Any Tank
Residential 120-gallon, commercial 1,000-gallon, bulk 30,000-gallon — Rivio's sensors fit every propane tank size and configuration.
Brand-Agnostic Sensors
Rivio integrates with pressure sensors, dial gauge readers, and ultrasonic sensors. Use what's already installed or deploy new hardware.
LTE — No Wi-Fi Needed
Propane tanks live in rural driveways, farm fields, and mountain cabins. LTE cellular reaches where broadband doesn't.
Smart Delivery Scheduling
Low-level alerts and consumption trends replace guesswork routing. Deliver when tanks actually need it, not on a calendar.
Open API for Integration
Connect Rivio data to your dispatch system, ERP, or billing software via REST API. No walled garden.
Centeron Replacement Ready
If you're migrating from Centeron/Schneider pressure sensors, Rivio imports your existing data and thresholds automatically.

Propane Monitoring FAQ
What size propane tanks can Rivio monitor?
Any size — from 120-gallon residential tanks to 30,000-gallon bulk storage. The sensor type varies by tank, but the platform handles all of them.
How does the sensor attach to the tank?
Depends on the sensor type. Pressure sensors thread into existing ports. Dial gauge readers clamp onto the existing gauge. No drilling or tank modification required.
Does it work in rural areas without internet?
Yes. Rivio sensors use LTE cellular (LTE-M/NB-IoT) which has broader rural coverage than broadband. No Wi-Fi or local network needed.
How often do sensors report?
Configurable — from every few minutes to several times per day depending on your needs and battery life preferences.
Can I integrate with my dispatch or billing system?
Yes. Rivio has an open REST API for connecting to dispatch, ERP, billing, and routing software.
What if I'm replacing Centeron sensors?
Rivio is a direct Centeron replacement. We import your locations, thresholds, and device records so you don't start from scratch.
Stop Guessing Tank Levels. Start Monitoring.
Whether you're managing 50 residential tanks or 5,000, Rivio gives you live propane levels, smart alerts, and data-driven delivery routes — all from one dashboard.
