Product summary
Co-Pilot is an iPhone application that pairs with Mopeka’s sonar sensor family (including the Pro Plus and TD40 models) to deliver continuous liquid-level monitoring. When linked to the sensors, the app reports real-time tank volumes and consumption for both pressurized and non-pressurized vessels.
Supported fluids
- Water, fuel oil, and similar liquid types
- Anhydrous ammonia and other agricultural liquids
- Hydrocarbon gases in liquid form such as propane and butane
- Any other liquid compatible with sonar-based level sensing
Hardware compatibility and sensor placement
Mopeka’s sonar sensors are designed to work in different tank environments:
- For pressurized steel or aluminum cylinders, sensors are mounted on the tank bottom.
- For open or non-pressurized tanks, sensors are installed at the top.
These sensors are part of Mopeka’s patented sonar lineup and are optimized for accurate distance-to-liquid readings.
Connectivity and data flow
The system uses a global SIM connection to push telemetry to cloud infrastructure hosted on AWS. Sensor data is transmitted in near real-time so the mobile app can display live volumes, historical trends, and usage statistics.
Main capabilities
- Instantaneous, accurate liquid-volume readings and usage tracking
- On-device configuration during sensor installation and commissioning
- Customizable alerts and reporting for level thresholds, low supply, and other events
- Remote monitoring via cloud-synced telemetry for fleet or distributed tank management
Installation and setup overview
- Mount the sensor according to the tank type (bottom for pressurized, top for non-pressurized).
- Pair the sensor with the Co-Pilot app and complete the onboard configuration.
- Ensure the sensor’s SIM has network coverage so telemetry can be sent to the cloud.
- Configure thresholds, notifications, and reporting schedules inside the app.
Display options and icons
The app uses clear numeric and symbolic indicators to show levels and alarms. If you prefer alternative visual styles, Co-Pilot supports standard iOS accessibility fonts and common symbol sets so the readouts remain legible and consistent.
Typical use cases
- Fleet operators tracking propane or anhydrous tanks across multiple sites
- Homeowners and businesses monitoring heating oil or water storage
- Industrial users keeping tabs on liquid inventory and receiving automated low-level alerts
If you want, I can create a short checklist tailored to a specific tank type or walk through an example installation and alert setup.
