Improving Maintenance Efficiency at LPG Storage and Shipping Terminals Through Visualization of On-Site Data
At LPG storage terminals, there are numerous inspection items that must be monitored, including storage tank internal pressure, liquid level, temperature, vapor pressure, signs of surging, and the motor current and discharge pressure of LPG pumps (liquid transfer pumps). Many of these facilities are designated as hazardous (explosion-proof) areas, where inspections have traditionally relied on visual checks conducted from a safe distance and manual, handwritten records. In addition, securing skilled personnel has become increasingly difficult, and the burden of patrols during nighttime hours or severe weather has continued to grow. To address these challenges, we deployed the “LC-EX10,” a device specifically designed for use in explosion-proof areas and well suited for remote visual inspection, across a wide area of the facility. Cameras are installed at fixed points to capture images of gauges around the tanks and indicators and ammeters on pump control panels. These readings are then automatically interpreted by AI and converted into time-series data, replacing conventional inspection workflows. Because the system is completely wireless and requires no construction work, it can be introduced without scheduling shutdowns, significantly lowering both psychological and financial barriers to adoption. As a result, inspection frequency can be maintained while reducing overall labor requirements. Any fluctuations exceeding predefined thresholds are immediately identified through notifications sent via email or chat tools, and historical data supporting alarms can be reviewed on the same screen. This serves as a practical example of how DX initiatives can be implemented easily, even in environments where the introduction of digital tools has traditionally been difficult.
Far-Sight, Cost-Light
Traveling every day to outlying tank sites to visually check liquid levels is often time-consuming. It also requires entering hazardous areas, which elevates safety risk. By combining the LC-EX10 with LiLz Gauge, you can automate remote level monitoring. Remaining volume is tracked off-site, and when a configured threshold is crossed, alerts are sent automatically. This reduces routine patrol workload and minimizes entry into hazardous zones—helping prevent accidents.
