Fuel theft, inaccurate logs, and inefficient tracking have quietly become one of the biggest drains on fleet profitability worldwide. Industry reports show fuel expenses make up 30–40% of total operating costs for most transport businesses. Even small leaks whether physical or hidden in faulty data can lead to massive annual losses.

Traditional wired monitoring systems often add complexity, increase downtime, and drive up maintenance costs making them an inefficient choice for modern fleets. To address these issues, Uffizio has partnered with Mielta, a pioneer in Bluetooth-based fuel sensing technology, to deliver a seamlessly integrated, real-time fuel monitoring solution.

As a result, this powerful partnership brings together Mielta’s wireless precision hardware with Uffizio’s advanced fleet management software. It offers drop-by-drop fuel visibility, instant tamper alerts, and real-time insights without the wiring hassles, delays, or guesswork.

Together, they enable a smarter, faster, and more secure way to manage fuel and reduce operational losses.

Why Uffizio Partnered with Mielta

Uffizio joined hands with Mielta to deliver a smarter, faster, and more reliable fuel monitoring experience for fleet operators.  Specifically, at the heart of this collaboration is Mielta’s cutting-edge Bluetooth fuel sensor, which brings several technical advantages and long-term strategic benefits to the table.

Moreover, here’s what makes this integration technically powerful and practically scalable:

  • Wireless bluetooth connectivity: Enables seamless fuel data transmission without the need for complex wiring or external power sources.

  • Tamper-proof design: Offers built-in alerts that notify fleet managers of any attempts to tamper with the fuel tank or sensor.

  • Offline data sync: Captures and stores fuel data even in areas with poor network coverage, syncing automatically once connectivity is restored.

  • Cross-vehicle compatibility: Works effortlessly with trucks, buses, generators, and specialized equipment giving system integrators maximum flexibility.

  • Quick deployment: Easy to install and configure, reducing installation time and downtime for fleets.

  • Long battery life: Delivers up to 5 years of reliable performance on a single charge minimizing maintenance and ensuring uninterrupted monitoring.

  • Scalability for any fleet size: Whether it’s a small transport fleet or a multi-location enterprise, the solution scales with your operations.

Consequently, this integration merges Mielta’s sensor reliability with Uffizio’s intelligent telematics software, ensuring that fleet operators receive real-time, accurate, and tamper-resistant insights empowering smarter decisions and safeguarding profitability.

How Bluetooth Fuel Monitoring Works in Fleets

Mielta’s bluetooth fuel sensors are installed inside or outside the tank, depending on vehicle type and use case. Instead, the most common method is in-tank vertical installation, where the sensor uses capacitive or ultrasonic technology to read fuel levels accurately.

For more complex setups, like two-pipe tanks or irregular-shaped containers, Mielta provides customized mounting options, including:

  • External ultrasonic sensors (no tank penetration)
  • Float-based sensors for older fleets
  • Bracket kits for tippers, tankers, and trailers

Once installed, the sensor transmits data wirelessly to the GPS tracker or BLE receiver, which then sends it to the Uffizio platform for analysis and alerts.
