Critical challenges
The operational challenges facing operators
Tank storage facilities rely on frequent checkups to ensure safety, operational continuity, and regulatory compliance. But traditional practices are often inconsistent, inefficient, and prone to human error. Without a structured and reliable approach, small issues can go unnoticed, escalating into costly failures and unplanned downtime.
Why consistent monitoring matters
One of the primary challenges in tank maintenance is ensuring regular monitoring. Without systematic checks, critical issues can go unnoticed. Leading to environmental pollution, lost capital, safety hazards, and higher repair costs. These inspections often require accessing tall tanks and working at height, sometimes in adverse weather, which adds significant safety risk.
Risks that can’t wait
Tank operators face serious threats like fires from rim seal failures and leaks from corrosion. When detection is delayed, due to irregular rounds or poor maintenance, hazardous conditions can develop, putting people and the environment at risk. This also impacts uptime and damages customer trust.

Work smarter, not harder
Work smarter, not harder
Operator Round is a tool that enables users to efficiently carry out their operator rounds and planning by making them digital. With advanced drone technology capturing high-resolution photos on every flight and with each image in Operator Round featuring essential contextual details, such as the specific location, tag and timestamp, operators can always get a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of site and asset conditions.
Real-time, consistent inspections
A drone box installed on-site allows terminal operators to manage drones directly from the facility. Using automated flight paths or manual control during emergencies. Through a centralized digital platform, Operator Round enables real-time, consistent inspections that follow a structured process. This supports early detection of issues like containment loss, drainage failures, or floating roof concerns.
Documenting and analyzing tank conditions
Operator Round replaces paper-based checks with a smart, guided system for documenting and analyzing tank conditions. This shift enhances efficiency, reduces risk, minimizes disruptions, and helps ensure optimal asset performance.

Functionality
How does Operator Round work?
Operator Round uses automated drone flights and image capture to deliver a regular stream of asset data; giving operations teams a clear picture of the condition and unexpected failures or leakages of every tank they have to monitor.
HD Imagery For Every Asset
One of Operator Round’s key features is its consistent photo-taking method. Capturing images from the same position and angle allows easy comparison over time to detect wear, degradation, or other changes. If issues are found, users can mark them directly on the image for clear visibility to all team members.
Total Traceability
The system logs all image interactions, creating a complete audit trail to ensure photos are reviewed and approved, boosting accountability and operational effectiveness.
Search Everywhere, Find Everything
Operator Round’s image gallery offers seamless navigation by date or tag. Users can apply retroactive tags to photos for better organization and retrieval, and the timeline functionality allows easy tracking of asset and component evolution over time.
