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.
