Commercial vehicle operators lose billions annually due to fuel siphoning. Standard GPS tracking devices only report location, leaving fuel tanks completely blind.

Hardware & Edge Processing

Using ESP32 nodes coupled with ultrasonic sensors, FuelShield measures fuel tank height dynamically. To filter out road vibration and slope changes, an exponential moving average (EMA) filter runs locally on the microcontroller before telemetry is pushed.
