One-Tank

What One-Tank does

One-Tank is a US-based private company that develops satellite-connected tank monitoring hardware and virtual metering software for propane, refined fuels, lubricants, and diesel applications. Founded in 2004 by Rick Humphrey and now led by CEO Brian Humphrey, the company is headquartered in St. Peters, Missouri, with a secondary office in Gilbert, Arizona. Its core product line—Pulse, Omega, and STR monitors—transmits tank-level, temperature, and GPS data via a proprietary low-Earth-orbit nanosatellite constellation orbiting at approximately 600 km altitude, allowing propane distributors to monitor tanks in rural and cellular-dead zones that legacy cellular monitors cannot reliably cover.

Revenue model

1. Hardware Sales (One-Tank Pulse/Omega): Sale of satellite monitoring devices including One-Tank Pulse and Omega Series hardware units. Pulse is designed for propane tanks with remote ready dials; Omega supports broader applications including refined fuels and bulk storage.
2. Satellite Monitoring Services: Recurring monitoring fees for satellite connectivity and data transmission services. Battery warranty covers 60 months or 2,000 transmissions whichever occurs first.
3. Virtual Metering / Metered Billing: Enables propane marketers to bill customers based on actual consumption measured remotely, similar to utility billing models for water and electricity.

Core offering

One-Tank sells a satellite-based IoT tank monitoring platform that consists of hardware devices (Pulse, Omega, and STR monitors plus compatible gauges) and cloud software (web dashboard, iOS/Android apps, and a cloud API). The system transmits tank level, GPS, and consumption data from propane and other fuel tanks via a constellation of low Earth orbit nanosatellites, enabling propane marketers to perform virtual metering, automated delivery optimization, leak and run-out alerts, and consumption-based billing without requiring cellular connectivity at the tank.

Product overview

One-Tank offers a unified satellite tank monitoring platform comprising hardware devices (One-Tank Pulse, One-Tank Omega, One-Tank STR), remote-ready gauges, and cloud software (dashboard, mobile apps). The Pulse and Omega serve as the core satellite-connected monitoring devices, with Omega offering expanded cellular connectivity options. One-Tank Unlimited provides metered billing capabilities through tertiary storage monitoring. All devices connect via low Earth orbit nanosatellites and integrate with cloud-based dashboards and mobile apps for real-time visibility, alerts, and delivery optimization.

Partnerships

Two partnerships are on record, tiered core.

• Tarantin IndustriescoreChannel Partner/ Reseller/ Distributor · 7 April 2026Distribution partnership to bring One-Tank Pulse satellite-enabled propane tank monitoring devices to propane marketers across the Eastern United States. The partnership specifically addresses monitoring challenges in rural and low-connectivity areas where cellular coverage is limited, providing tank-level visibility and virtual metering insights. One-Tank CEO Brian Humphrey noted the collaboration gives propane marketers easier access to satellite monitoring through an established distributor.
• Rocky Mountain Propane AssociationcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 19 February 2026One-Tank selected as the satellite tank monitoring provider for a propane education and demonstration home in Garden City, Utah, near Bear Lake on the Utah-Idaho-Wyoming border. The project demonstrates how satellite-based tank monitoring can support safe and efficient propane delivery in remote areas without relying on cellular networks or grid power, showcasing propane as an energy solution for rural and resort communities.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Badger Meter: Established manufacturer of flow measurement, totalizing meters, and AMR/AMI endpoints for water and industrial fluids. Comparable technology category (fluid metering + connectivity) and serves similar industrial customer profiles, though at much larger scale and with a broader fluid focus.
• Itron: Global leader in utility metering and AMI for electricity, gas, and water with smart gas modules and leak-detection solutions. Operates at much greater scale than One-Tank and serves investor-owned utilities rather than independent propane marketers, but addresses the same underlying gas-IoT/AMI category.
• Sensus (a Xylem brand): Smart utility metering and AMI platform provider for gas, water, and electric utilities with integrated communication modules. Competes at the AMI/connected-metering layer that overlaps with One-Tank's customer-premise monitoring module category, serving utility customers rather than independent propane marketers.
• Honeywell: Industrial gas-detection, smart-energy, and connected-building portfolio that includes gas-leak detection, AMI modules, and LPG/propane monitoring technology. Overlaps with One-Tank on leak detection, regulated-location certifications (UL/ATEX), and downstream gas-distribution hardware.

Direct peers

• Tank Utility: Smart propane tank monitoring provider offering cellular-connected gauges and a consumer-facing app targeting residential propane customers and small dealers. Comparable product/market overlap with One-Tank's residential propane segment.
• Otodata: One of the largest providers of wireless remote tank monitoring for propane, oil, and other fluids, serving the same propane marketer and distributor customer base with cellular-based IoT sensors and a similar hardware-plus-subscription model. Direct competitor in One-Tank's core market.
• TankScan (Apex): Wireless tank monitoring systems for industrial liquids including chemicals, lubricants, and fuels, sold to chemical and fuel distributors. Overlaps with One-Tank's Omega bulk-storage and refined-fuels applications.
• Mopek Solutions: Wireless remote tank monitoring company specializing in propane, oil, and water tanks with cellular-IoT hardware and a cloud dashboard. Competes head-to-head with One-Tank's Pulse/Omega in propane distributor accounts.

Others

• Astrocast: Satellite-IoT operator providing low-cost LEO connectivity for remote asset tracking. Not a direct competitor but operates adjacent infrastructure used by IoT devices like One-Tank's Pulse, and is a relevant reference point for the underlying nanosatellite-IoT thesis.
