Haulier Harlex improves fuel control with Cameron 17 May 2013

Haulier and construction plant specialist Harlex Haulage Services has installed a new web-based fuel management system to improve fuel control at its Rochester base.

With a growing fleet of road-going tipper vehicles, Harlex decided it needed to replace its outdated system in order to get faster refuelling, increased security, better management of fuel and professional wet stock control.

The turnkey package, from Cameron Forecourt, includes an Eclipse web-based fuel management system linked to a single diesel pump to provide information on fuel drawings, wet stock levels and fuelling for all its vehicles.

Information is fed to the system automatically via on-board vehicle ID tags and a nozzle-based DervPoint automatic vehicle recognition (AVR) module.

The DervPoint system uses a coded tag attached on or near the vehicle fuel filler that communicates with a transponder mounted on the fuel nozzle. Information is passed to the fuel island controller via an RF link, which allows fuelling to commence when authorised.

Information on stock levels in the company's bulk storage tank is provided by a TLS Gilbarco Veeder Root electronic tank gauging system, integrated into the fuel management package.

The Eclipse system means that Information is available round the clock by allowing authorised staff to access a central server via GPS from any internet browser. It can also provide email alerts of irregularities, such as fuel leaks or theft.
