Industry’s First In-Plant PoE and Remote Monitoring System

Jack Evans, President of HAWK, explained that the decision to design and develop an innovative monitoring technology such as HawkEye365 was necessary based on their customer feedback and foreseeable direction of the market. Evans added that, “HAWK has been providing innovative sensor technologies for over 30 years in some of the harshest environments. HAWK has provided remote service capabilities for many years now and has developed remote monitoring of assets with the ability to provide remote service. The HawkEye365 is designed for expansion to uplink data to unlimited facilities and unlimited remote sites. HAWK is committed to providing innovative technology and services to customers globally.”

The HawkEye365 Online Inventory Asset and Monitoring Portal has the ability to monitor multiple tanks and applications worldwide in real-time. The portal provides accessibility to critical data such as the ability to view volume, space, material height, historical trending, alarms and alerts, sensor setup and diagnostics. Plant level operator screens are customized to the company’s specifications to include control room level and operations level interface screens. The graphical user interface will be common throughout and permissions can be set for different tiers such as plant-level, finance or executive level. If any troubleshooting is required, the HawkEye365 will communicate to remote service technicians for off-site diagnostics, sensor health and re-configuration, without the need to climb a tank or enter the facility.
