A reader in the nozzle assembly that confirms the tag pairing at the moment of dispensing, closing the loop between authorisation and delivery. A reader at the pump proves intent; a reader at the nozzle proves delivery.
Authorising at the dispenser establishes that someone with the right credentials started a transaction. It does not establish that the fuel went into the vessel that was authorised, and in operations where that distinction has financial consequence, the difference matters.
Putting the reader in the nozzle assembly closes that gap. The tag on the tank is read at the moment of and for the duration of dispensing, so delivery is confirmed against identity continuously rather than at the start of a transaction.
The engineering constraint is the environment. A nozzle is handled, dropped, exposed to fuel and weather, and expected to keep working. The electronics have to survive that, and the antenna has to work through whatever the assembly is made of.

Maturity — silicon-proven, FPGA-validated or RTL stage — is confirmed at enquiry for the specific configuration you need, rather than claimed generically here.
Send the target node, the interface requirements and the integration context. If this is not the right fit, that will be said early rather than discovered at integration.
Authorising at the dispenser establishes that a valid transaction was started. Reading at the nozzle establishes that fuel went into the vessel that was authorised, which is a different claim and the one that matters when losses have financial consequence.
It is handled, dropped, exposed to fuel and weather, and expected to keep working. The electronics have to survive that mechanically and chemically, and the antenna has to perform through the assembly material.
