Efficient Logistics

Optical Fiber for fuel transport monitoring

Hubz's patented technology enables real-time monitoring of tanker truck operations, reducing the risk of fuel theft and fraud.

Complete Control of the Fuel Logistics Chain

An innovative solution that records every valve opening and closing event, including the date, time, and location.

Fuel transportation fraud and cargo theft remain significant challenges in Brazil. In 2023 alone, losses exceeded R$1.2 billion, affecting distributors, carriers, and society as a whole. Beyond the financial impact, these incidents compromise operational performance and increase the risk of explosions, fires, contamination, toxic exposure, and environmental spills.

Now imagine knowing exactly when, where, and by whom every valve on a tanker truck was opened or closed. No gaps. No uncertainty. No opportunity for unauthorized intervention.

Efficient Logistics is a photonics-based technology that monitors these operations in real time, recording every event with precision. The result is greater operational control, more reliable data, and enhanced safety across the entire fuel logistics chain.

...How does this technology provide real-time monitoring?

Optical fibers, widely used in established applications such as data transmission, lighting, sensing, lasers, and medical devices, take on a new role when integrated with intelligent electronic circuits and communication modules: they become a security system for fuel transportation.

Efficient Logistics applies this principle to monitor the opening and closing of tanker truck valves, recording the date, time, and location of every event.

The technology is patented by hubz,  granted by the Brazilian National Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), reflecting the company's ongoing commitment to research, development, and innovation.

...What does Hubz offer?

Core Innovation

Efficient Logistics applies an established principle, the use of optical fiber as a sensing element, to a new application: fuel transportation. The result is a robust and reliable technology that helps prevent unauthorized intervention while providing complete traceability throughout the logistics operation.
