Boost Fuel Efficiency by 30% with Real-Time AI Monitoring
Real-Time Monitoring, AI-Driven Analytics, and Advanced Theft Prevention for Optimized Fuel Efficiency
Live Fuel Consumption with GPS Tracking
Real-Time Fuel Monitoring Across Your Fleet
Key Features
GroundHog’s fuel sensors continuously collect and transmit data on fuel levels, key on/off status, idling, consumption rates, and operator ID via an on-board tablet with an inbuilt GPS chip. The system works in both online and offline modes, sending data to the GroundHog cloud for real-time visualization of fuel levels and consumption patterns across all Heavy Equipment and Light Vehicles.
- GPS-tracked fuel consumption
- Real-time fuel data visualization
- Online and offline data logging
- GPS Tracked
- Offline Capability
Fuel Analytics with Consumption Hotspot Detection
AI-Driven Insights for Fuel Efficiency
Key Benefits
GroundHog’s AI-powered Fuel Analytics helps mine planners detect fuel consumption hotspots, particularly during loaded haulage. When combined with GroundHog’s Fleet Management System and Load-cell Tonnage Sensors, it provides actionable insights that drive ramp design improvements, boost fuel efficiency, and protect transmission subsystem health.
- Identify fuel consumption hotspots
- Optimize haulage routes for fuel efficiency
- Enhance transmission subsystem health
- Hotspot Detection
- Route Optimization
Fuel Theft Alerts with Driver and Location Information
Prevent Fuel Theft with AI-Powered Alerts
Advantages
GroundHog’s integrated Fuel and Fleet Management System sends instant alerts when it detects suspicious fuel drops. Using AI, the system correlates fuel level changes with ignition state and equipment speed, giving supervisors the data they need to investigate potential theft.
- Instant fuel theft alerts
- Correlation with driver and equipment data
- Enhanced security for fuel resources
- Faster shift starts
- Automate manual tasks
Retrofit Old Equipment with Ruggedized Fuel Sensors
Upgrade Legacy Equipment with Advanced Sensors
Why Retrofit?
GroundHog offers solutions for older equipment lacking built-in fuel sensors. Using ruggedized capacitive or ultrasonic sensors, you can monitor fuel levels even on legacy vehicles. Capacitive sensors require tank drilling, while ultrasonic sensors do not, offering flexibility based on your needs. Both options are dustproof, waterproof (IP68/IP69k), and explosion-proof (Exd II CT5).
- Capacitive and ultrasonic sensor options
- IP68/IP69k protection and Exd II CT5 explosion-proof ratings
- No drilling required for ultrasonic sensors
- High Protection Rating
- Drill-Free Option
Automated Consumption Rate Calculation
Accurate Fuel Monitoring for Loaded and Empty Haul Trucks
Highlights
GroundHog automatically calculates fuel consumption rates for loaded and empty haul trucks, using retrofit sensors where needed. This ensures precise fuel data even on equipment without built-in fuel monitoring, enabling better decision-making for fleet management.
- Automatic fuel consumption tracking
- Accurate monitoring for loaded and empty trucks
- Seamless integration with GroundHog’s fuel sensors
- Precise Monitoring
- Seamless Integration

Frequently Asked Questions
How does GroundHog’s fuel monitoring system work?
GroundHog’s fuel sensors continuously track fuel levels, key on/off status, idling, and consumption rates. The data is transmitted in real-time via GPS, even in offline modes, and is sent to the GroundHog cloud for easy visualization and analysis across your entire fleet.
How does Fuel Analytics help improve fuel efficiency?
GroundHog’s AI-driven Fuel Analytics identifies fuel consumption hotspots, particularly for loaded haulage. It helps mine planners optimize routes, improve ramp designs, and protect transmission subsystems, resulting in increased fuel efficiency.
How does the system detect fuel theft?
GroundHog’s system sends fuel theft alerts by analyzing drops in fuel levels in correlation with ignition state and equipment speed. This AI-powered system provides supervisors with real-time notifications, including driver and location information, for immediate investigation.
Can older equipment be retrofitted with fuel sensors?
Yes, older heavy equipment can be retrofitted with capacitive or ultrasonic sensors. Capacitive sensors require drilling into the fuel tank, while ultrasonic sensors do not. Both sensor types are ruggedized, dustproof, waterproof (IP68/IP69k), and explosion-proof (Exd II CT5).
How does the system calculate fuel consumption for haul trucks?
GroundHog’s system automatically calculates fuel consumption rates for both loaded and empty haul trucks. It uses data from the built-in or retrofit sensors to provide accurate, real-time fuel monitoring and optimize fleet performance.
