Gatex Fuel-EYE is the most complete and versatile fuel supply control system for B2B operations. Fuel-EYE offers five levels of authentication by RFID or keypad entries, a few of them optional.
The operator is to swipe his RFID tag on the machine to initiate the operations and scan the RFID tag of the receiving vehicle, stationary tank or asset, to authenticate the receiver. If there is no tag on the receiving vehicle, Fuel-EYE will ask for entering a plate number on the machine’s HMI, and will authorize the fueling only if the plate number exists in the local database of the machine.
Fuel-EYE offers five levels of authentication
Upon vehicle authentication, operator will be asked to enter the current odometer or engine hours of the vehicle depending on the receiving vehicle type. This value is further used for consumption reports and fuel efficiency calculations.
Two additional authentication steps are available for the fuel supplier that can be optionally enabled in the settings of the machine:
Area Code and Project Numbers.
Fuel-EYE works at offshore areas
Fuel-EYE is an embedded computer which runs on Linux and has its own internal SQL database. It doesn’t need a cloud connection to operate. If out of coverage, it continues fueling and storing the transactions in its internal memory without limits; and once back in the network, uploads the stored transactions to Gatex cloud and synchronizes fleet details.
Fuel-EYE comes in different classes
Using Smetron’s wireless UHF RFID nozzle reader for vehicle authentications; we have modified our RFID tags to limit their reading range to 5cm and help eliminate fuel theft.
