Find out how to solve the 7 most common Fluid Management Issues using the Banlaw Xpress Controller:
Problem 1: Lack of real-time visibility over your valuable industrial fluids
- Without accurate real-time tank level data, it’s impossible to reliably order the correct amount of the industrial fluids you require for seamless operations.
- Outdated, incomplete or inaccurate data can often lead to ordering incorrect fluid quantities, causing over supply issues or costly downtime.
Solution:
- The Xpress Controller gives you real-time visibility over all of your industrial fluids simultaneously.
- You will know exactly how much you have in your storage tanks and resupply with the correct amount of fluid, on time, every time.
- Never hold excessive stock on-site or run the risk of running out of your high-value fluids again. Get the required amount of the liquids you need, precisely when you need it, where you need it.
Problem 2: Difficulty coordinating the fluid supply chain
- Lack of real-time, trustworthy data makes it difficult to coordinate and schedule supply. You may end up storing excessive fluids onsite (tying up cash you could be using more effectively) or find that you are constantly chasing up suppliers at the last minute when reserves run low.
- Lack of measurement also makes it hard for you to ensure you are receiving the expected amount of fluids from your suppliers. Even just thermal expansion of diesel during transit can quickly add up to many thousands of dollars per year that you should not be paying for.
Problem Solved:
- Having data at your fingertips gives you ultimate control over your supply chain.
- You can schedule deliveries based on clearly established benchmarks and usage data, making your supply process seamless and predictable. This also allows hydrocarbons suppliers to manage more of the process for you, freeing up your valuable time and resources.
- The ability to accurately meter fluids on receipt, coupled with real-time tank gauging, allows you to pay for the fluids you receive, hold the amount of stock that's required to run the business, and free up cash by avoiding the purchase or storage of excessive liquids.

TOP TIP
In some cases, you can negotiate a lower price on the fluids you purchase because suppliers also get value from real-time visibility. Quality data enables predictable, automated and consistent supply partnerships.
Problem 3: Wasted / Inefficient Use of Resources
- Without visibility of how high-value fluid resources are being allocated and used, it is challenging to gain business insights to improve efficiency, enhance productivity and reduce waste.
Solution:
- With the Xpress Controller, you get precise, accurate and immediate data on your fluid consumption patterns, helping you make informed decisions to improve productivity and profitability.
- Xpress can also be deployed with our Banlaw On-Board Device, providing accurate utilisation data for all of your vehicles and stationary plant. This allows you to establish the productivity of every fuel-consuming asset, efficiently predict and schedule required maintenance and set data-driven productivity benchmarks across your fleets and worksites.
- Ensure all the fluids you purchase are used to the benefit of your business, and get the most out of every drop.
Problem 4: The hassle of getting accurate and reliable reports & reconciliation
- When data has to be manually collected, prepared and reported on, huge amounts of repetitive human resource effort are wasted.
Problem Solved:
- The data collected by Xpress connects seamlessly with our cloud or locally-hosted Fluid Management Software, giving you automated fluid reconciliation and audit-ready inputs for your carbon reporting, tax office rebates and other vital company reporting.
- Precise, automated reconciliation, and a host of reporting assets designed to save you time come standard with Banlaw's ResTrack solutions. Reduce your administrative burden at the same time as maximising rebates.

Problem 5: Inefficient and error-prone data collection
- Manual data collection is inherently prone to errors, highly inefficient, and leads to inaccurate data and a loss of productivity. Travelling to fluid storage tanks to climb up and dip them can be dangerous as well!
Problem Solved:
- Xpress offers completely automated data collection, providing seamless, accurate and efficient data at your fingertips whilst removing the chance of human error or injury.
Problem 6: Enterprise level price tags
- You want enterprise-level outcomes, but a simple fuel management system shouldn’t cost a fortune or be complicated to install.
We hear you:
- Xpress offers enterprise-level capabilities at an affordable price, making it ideal for any industry and reducing the initial investment to the point that it can pay for itself within a few months.
- Installation costs are kept to a minimum too. A single electrician can mount and terminate the controller within a short period.
Problem 7: Downtime due to unreliable equipment
- Unreliable equipment that is not fit for purpose or built to withstand the demands of industrial worksites can slow down operations, lead to costly facility or fleet downtime and become an ongoing drain on your resources.
Problem Solved:
- The Xpress controller has been shaped by over 40 years of in-the-field experience at industrial worksites around the world. Decades of insights have been harnessed to create our most reliable controller to date, with all of the features our customers value the most.
- Every component and feature of Banlaw Xpress has been designed to go the distance. You can rely on Xpress to work when it's hot, cold, wet, dusty... it's built for industrial use and guaranteed to last.
