Mine Site Fuel Solutions
DESPITE differences, mines and civil contractors have the same needs when it comes to monitoring fuel.
They need a robust, reliable and fully customisable system purpose built for Australian industry.
For more than 30 years, Datafuel has been designing and manufacturing fuel management system components that today define the benchmark for such systems in Australia.
The Datafuel system automates the supply of reliable and precise operational data on fuel usage, fleet consumption, tank levels and more.
Amongst wider uses, such information is essential for accurate diesel fuel rebate claims.
Fuel can be accessed with PINs, security cards or both, as well as acquiring odometer values and job numbers as required.
Usage limits can be placed on both users and fleet and even one-shot limits for visiting contractors are available.
Simultaneous use of multiple hoses is allowed to speed the fuelling of high capacity fleet.
The system consoles integrate with all tanks and pumps as well as Tank Gauging systems.
This means that current fuel levels, as well as inflows and outflows, can be accurately and automatically recorded.
When tank gauging is used, the Datafuel system is able to provide complete, fully automated, end-to-end fuel usage reconciliation.
No more manual tank dip inaccuracies (or OHS/WHS issues) and no more lost or incorrectly recorded deliveries.
Regulatory requirements for tank leakage detection can also be satisfied automatically.
All fuel movements need to be monitored, including mobile tankers fuelling remote fleet, and the Datafuel system automates the upload of these transactions when the tanker returns to base.
The head end software is multi- user allowing system configuration and report generation simultaneously.
Report generation can be scheduled for automatic execution with the results delivered by email.
Datafuel consoles can operate in an active/ active redundant mode where high availability is required.
Two consoles operating separate pumps and hoses can be configured so that if one is damaged or fails, the other will take the full load.
Consoles can be powered either by low voltage DC or mains and they can even go to sleep when required.
A very important point is that fuel usage records from all sources can be combined in this single system.
This means that manually entered fuel transaction records, as well as service station account records from external sources, can all be entered or uploaded into the system.
Save time and money and obtain exceptionally accurate fuel usage and fleet consumption information across an entire facility – all from a cost- effective, fully customisable system using Australian designed and built consoles and software.
