1.3. FMS PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.3.1. General
The FMS enables the user to see a complete overview of the fuel status and levels at the entire chain
of stations and at each tank separately.
The user is able to view the entire picture of all stations in a table form (grid). The status of stations
is presented in different colors. The user utilizes a friendly GUI (Graphic User Interface) to change
the sorting filter and view all stations, only stations with alarms, stations belonging to a specific
group and more.
Selection of a single station displays on-line alarms and station status screen. In this screen the user
is able to see additional details related to the tanks (e.g. temperature, water level, density and more).
The FMS mechanism is based on data collection from several sources:
• Fuel alarms from TLG (Tank Level Gauging) or SiteOmat forecourt controller
• Fuel transactions from SiteOmat
• Fuel deliveries from TLG or SiteOmat or FMS (manual entry)
• Periodic fuel readings from pumps and tanks. Readings can be made every several
minutes/hours
• SiteOmat End of shift data (mandatory for some of the reconciliation reports)
1.3.2. Features
The main FMS system features are:
• Fuel Inventory Management: FMS automatically receives all stations' wet inventory
data via web services according to SiteOmat setup in each station. There is no need to
configure the system twice. The FMS regularly obtains updates from a station (e.g. new
tanks, tanks with different fuel type), displays fuel level, water level, temperature and
tank density per each individual tank. The software stores each tank's history and
provides forecast for future deliveries
• Orders and Deliveries: FMS connects orders to fuel deliveries and reconciles the
relevant amounts (order vs. TLG vs. Bill of Loading Vs. deep stick readings), enables
tight data tracking designed to minimize loses and maximize the service stations
efficiency
• Online Fuel Alarms: FMS manages alerts for stations with critical fuel levels, leaks,
overfills and other events. All alerts can be sent to a single user group/s via email or
SMS. Fuel order forms can be produced directly via the alarm screen, in cases where
low fuel level alarms were activated
• Reporting and Management: FMS enables the user to generate several sales, stock and
reconciliation reports at company level (i.e. amount of fuel in all stations, alarms for all
stations) and at station level
The interaction between the various components of the fleet management is shown in Figure 1-1.
