Fuel Automation System (FAS)

Fuel Automation System (FAS)

The Fuel Automation System (FAS) is designed to improve fuel management by automating the diesel dispensing process. It can be installed on bulk tanks and fuel bowsers. It reads RFID tags installed on vehicles, providing an easy fuel management tool.

Key features of the FAS include:

• real-time dispensing monitoring,
• no paperwork for diesel attendants, data entered via a mobile application,
• highly accurate,
• web-based: easy access to fueling data anytime, anywhere,
• minimizing diesel theft by using RFID equipment identification, dispensing only into the identified tank, dispensing not more than “max tank capacity”, capturing “total hours/km per tank” and providing fuel theft warning for bulk tanks,
• fuel consumption report, fuel tank level report, and fuel transaction list,
• ability to work offline, preventing data loss,
• fuel stock management,
• simple installation and maintenance,
• strong reporting e.g., with dashboard, highest consumption report, average consumption report, etc.
• fully configurable,
• automatic tank gauging with color codes and notification for below-minimum tank levels,
• Integration with ERP and reporting tools,

FAS works with RFID equipment recognition. Each nozzle has an RF reader that can only read client-authorized RFID tags. Dispensing authorizations happen via the Minetec FAS app. No internet connection is needed to operate the mobile application. Bulk tank levels can be read via level sensors and viewed in real time via the Smart Manager interface.
