This section is not a review the activities surrounding the companies mentioned, nor is it a comphrensive listing of all the companies at erpec in the above category, it is simply a news update from a selection of the technology suppliers, who wished to submit something for this page. All editorial is supplied and written by the companies concerned. Scheidt & Bachmann have developed a dispenser series which can be operated as “The smallest Petrol Station in the world”. The concept of this future orientated dispenser is to serve and manage a complete petrol station with one system. The customer is guided through the whole fuelling process by means of a multimedia screen. The display, designed to be read easily in bright sunlight, shows the latest news and traffic reports keepingcustomers up-to-date with important information. The operator can get additional benefit by means of displaying advertisements on the multimedia screen. www.scheidt-bachmann.de Hectronic now have PetroPoint, a system for automatic vehicle recognition. Wireless transfer of all the relevant data is fast and easy for the driver. Without any further operation, the authorisation and pump release, as well as storage and management of the fuel data are run off in seconds. In addition, information about odometer readings or operating hours can be transferred, which for their part serve as basic data for servicing, inspections, fuel and lubricant consumption incurred. PetroPoint also prevents the wrong fuel being put into a vehicle. www.hectronic.com Fuelmatics are now offering a revolutionary Drive-Thru refuelling system for increased throughput at stations and heightened customer satisfaction.The driver remains inside the car during the entire refuelling process, while the automat takes care of the entire refuelling process, including opening of the fuel door and insertion of the nozzle. The Fuelmatics concept means a ‘business booster’ which attracts more customers to sites due to increased speed, convenience, safety and clean handling. With more refuelling per hour, the cost per refuelling will be reduced – an increase in retail efficiency. The system provides the most environmentaly friendly refuelling concept available as the refuelling is made in a closed fuel transfer system. www.fuelmatics.com FAFNIR Wet stock Automation played a major role in the fuel retail industry during the past years and led to a strong requirement of the FAFNIR VISY-X ATG product range, currently installed in more than 60 countries, due to it’s best in class quality, modularity and performance. VISY-RFT wireless transmitters and receivers also triggered a massive retrofitting exercise on sites not having a conduit infrastructure.
