Smart Fuel Level Detection and Alarm System for Gensets

Project Overview

This project addressed industrial monitoring challenges by developing an automated fuel level detection and alert system tailored for heavy equipment generator sets (gensets). It eliminates manual dipstick checks and provides real-time visibility over fluid levels.

Key Contributions

• Hardware & Prototyping: Integrated ultrasonic and float-based fluid level sensors with microcontroller hardware (Arduino/ESP32) for continuous data acquisition.
• Automated Alert System: Configured automated buzzer and LED warning indicators for low-level thresholds to prevent unexpected genset shutdowns on-site.
• Industrial Application: Designed to streamline maintenance workflows and reduce equipment downtime in heavy-duty machinery environments.
