Measurement of diesel fuel volume using a smart device for heavy equipment units

Indonesia is one of the countries that produces large amounts of minerals, including coal, nickel, and others. The demand for heavy equipment to assist the mining industry is consequently extremely high. One of the most crucial aspects of managing a heavy equipment company is the high fuel cost. Businesses that operate heavy machinery face losses because of the existence of individuals who commit fraud by providing inaccurate fuel volume data. Because it is difficult to identify the validity of fuel use statistics, this issue remains in several mining businesses. The purpose of this research is to create a device that can measure the amount of fuel delivered into the tank so that the business owner can get the data in real-time. This device utilizes a microcontroller as its primary component to transmit sensor data to the owner of the heavy equipment unit. The amount of fuel data obtained will be saved on the SD Card storage media and transmitted via the internet network, which can be viewed via the website or the Android application. This research can reduce the company's possible losses from fuel volume manipulation.
