FUEL MANAGEMENT
The LAS Fuel Management System (FMS) is used on vehicle fleets and enables “attendant free refuelling” and “remote monitoring of fuel usage and stocks” by Fuel Managers. The system is not restricted to Fuels and all functionality can be implemented for Lubricants.
in partnership with LAS , Elgic provides peace of mind about the fuel you have received and dispensed. Our automated solutions reduce human intervention resulting in timeous, accurate, traceable information – ultimately resulting in cost savings.
Receipt of Fuel
Refueling of Vehicle
Tank Levels
Polling Of Hectronic Controllers
Receipt of Fuel
- Attendant presents handheld tag to controller – this tag is configured as a “receipts tag” on the software
- If authorised receiving pump (if fitted) is started, valve opened and transaction is recorded
- All transactions are stored on the controller until they are retrieved by software
Refueling of Vehicle
- Reader on nozzle identifies vehicle, then confirms whether or not vehicle is authorised to refuel Reader on fuel Nozzle identifies vehicle, then confirms whether or not vehicle is authorised to refuel
- If authorised, Hectronic controller records kilometres or hours ( either manually or automatically), then starts pump and opens valves and transaction is recorded
- All transactions are stored on the Hectronic controller until they are retrieved by software
Tank Levels
- Hectronic Controller is set to record tank levels at predetermined intervals
- These levels are stored on the Hectronic controller until retrieved by software
Polling Of Hectronic Controllers
- As mentioned above, all Hectronic Controllers store transactions until the software retrieves them. This means that the system is in effect NOT a live system. This architecture does however allow the Hectronic controllers to function independently should there be power or communication problems with the server etc.
- Polling (retrieval) of transactions can be set up to occur at any interval. Depending on the method/s of communication this could be from every minute, to once a day
- Polling includes the following – Sending new or changed vehicle data to the relevant Hectronic Controller/s | Sending new site details e.g. tanks, controllers, nozzles to Hectronic Controllers | Retrieving tank levels | Retrieving fuel transactions
- Reports and data – The OPTIMIM software comes standard with a set of “most requested” reports | These reports are presented in pdf format, but can also be exported to Excel | Custom reports and export files for use with an ERP can also be developed
