Fuel Truck Controller system is a mobile Fleet Management System. The system controls, monitors

and stores on-the-spot refueling data by tanker truck for customers with large land moving

equipment. The system is suitable for a large range of home base customers.
The system consists of a Controller mounted on the truck and Vehicle Identification Units (VIU)

installed on the fleet vehicles.
Fuel Truck Controller enables refueling of vehicles equipped with VIUs only. The vehicles fuel

inlet must be positioned in the proximity of the fuel pump nozzle, ensuring end-to-end

authentication of the vehicle, meaning that only authorized vehicles get fuel. After providing fuel,

the system registers the transaction data (see Figure ‎1-2).
The heart of the mobile solution is the Orpak Controller Unit (OrCU) operating with the SiteOmat

automation software. SiteOmat runs on an embedded operating system. OrCU is a hardware

platform designed to survive the harsh gas station environment. It uses a solid state FLASH disk

and RTC (Real Time Clock) with back-up, along with surge suppressors for transients and noise

immunity. The system also includes power fail recovery mechanisms.

Vehicle Identification is an essential feature for maximal control and savings on fuel expenditure.

The dispenser is authorized to refuel after a positive identification of the vehicle and only while the

nozzle is inside the fuel inlet of the identified vehicle. All transaction information is automatically

recorded. A combined vehicle and driver identification is also possible for tight tracking.

Remote Web-based capabilities for monitoring, management and maintenance are available. A

standard PC with Internet Browser (Explorer) is used for remote management of Fuel Truck

Controller. There is no need for special purpose management software thanks to the built-in Web

server technology integrated into Fuel Truck Controller.

Centralized management is provided by the optional Fleet Head Office server. The Fleet Head

Office consolidates the data from multiple sites and generates reports, including exception reports.

It also enables control of the limits and restrictions placed on the various fleet vehicles.

Furthermore, authorized fleet personnel are able to log-in remotely and are always in control.

Control of a fleet’s fuel consumption can be maximized by defining limits. Optional limits include:

volume per day/week/month, fuel type. In case of communication failure, the specific site will be

able to refuel for a predefined grace period (parameter) using the most recent limits stored in its

database.
