SmartMix Fuel Probes – Every Drop Measured. Every Litre Protected.

SmartMix Fuel Probes - Every Drop Measured. Every Litre Protected.

Overview

SmartMix Technologies is a South African company with over 15 years of expertise in high-precision fuel monitoring.

Our SmartMix Fuel Probes combine world-class engineering with AI-powered analytics to give businesses total visibility, accuracy, and control over every litre of diesel, petrol, or paraffin — from delivery to consumption.

Whether you operate a transport fleet, construction site, mining operation, or farm, SmartMix Fuel Probes ensure that every drop of fuel is measured, protected, and accountable.

Why Fuel Probes Matter

Fuel accounts for up to 60% of total operating costs — yet unmonitored fleets can lose between 2–20% to theft, spillage, short deliveries, or misuse.
Without precise measurement, these losses go unnoticed — costing companies thousands monthly.

SmartMix Fuel Probes eliminate the guesswork by providing:

  • Real-time monitoring of tank levels and refuelling events.
  • Instant alerts for theft, siphoning, or irregular usage.
  • Verified refill volumes to detect supplier shortages.
  • Tamper-proof reporting for SARS rebate and auditing compliance.

The SmartMix Advantage

Precision You Can Rely On

Each SmartMix probe is built using Fuelscan® capacitive sensing technology, delivering 99.5% accuracy across all conditions — heat, vibration, or terrain.

Key Features

  • ±0.5% measurement accuracy after calibration.
  • Temperature compensation from −60°C to +80°C.
  • Resistant to diesel additives, paraffin, and HFO.
  • Hermetically sealed, IP69K-rated construction.
  • Plug-and-play integration via RS-232, RS-485, or Bluetooth.
  • Maintenance-free — no moving parts, no recalibration.

Supported Applications

SmartMix Fuel Probes are designed for multi-sector versatility:

  • 🚛 Transport Fleets – Track fuel consumption and prevent siphoning on trucks.
  • 🏗️ Construction & Mining – Monitor fuel for yellow equipment and on-site bowsers.
  • 🚜 Agriculture – Track tractors, harvesters, and generators.
  • 🛢️ Bulk Storage & Depots – Manage stock, detect leaks, and ensure delivery accuracy.

Supported Fuel Types

SmartMix Fuel Probes offer unmatched versatility and durability, enabling operators to monitor multiple liquid types with a single probe:

  • Diesel — Perfect for transport fleets, mining operations, diesel bowsers, and bulk depots.
  • Petrol — Designed for commercial fuelling operations, four-court sites, and retail forecourts.
  • Paraffin — Ideal for agriculture, heating systems, and mixed-fuel machinery.
  • Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) — Provides accurate level monitoring for industrial boilers and power generators.
  • Water Detection — Identifies contamination, condensation, or water ingress to protect engines and maintain fuel purity.

 

Integrated Intelligence

SmartMix Fuel Probes connect seamlessly to our AI-Powered Reporting Suite, delivering actionable insights through four core systems:

  • SmartMix FuelSight™ – Probe intelligence for accurate readings.
  • SmartMix Insight360™ – AI trend and anomaly analysis.
  • SmartMix OpsBrain™ – Centralized fleet and site dashboard.
  • SmartMix FuelIQ™ – Reporting and reconciliation from ERP and slip data.

This integration transforms raw data into fuel intelligence, allowing you to spot losses before they become losses.
