The content of this article has to do with the design and construction of an automatic fluid pumping

control system. The device operate independently without human assistance in triggering the

fluid pumping machines whenever the fluid level inside a storage tank falls below a reference

point. The device includes sensing unit to detect the presence of fluid and moisture. It also includes

a logical unit that performs logical operation using what is received from the sensor and giving out

appropriate signal to the actuator unit which triggers the machine pump.
