Fuel Management System

Introducing Faststream  Fuel Monitoring System – a cutting-edge solution designed to provide real-time monitoring of your fleet’s fuel consumption, fuel levels, and fuel theft detection. With the help of the Fuel Monitoring System, you can track and analyze your fuel consumption patterns, identify inefficient driving behaviors, and reduce unnecessary idling, resulting in significant savings.

Working Of Fuel Management System

  • IoT-based sensors in fuel tanks will automatically recognize fuel types by predefined patterns and make an automatic correction.

 

  • By measuring fuel volume precisely it detects tank fill-up and fuel draining volumes continuously.

 

  • The data is sent to a cloud-based server through the IOT gateway attached to the truck.

 

  • Any changes in the oil volume are noted and transferred to the application as an alert.

 

  • The truck can be located in real-time using the GPS tracker, which also tracks where fuel is being refilled and drained.

Fuel consumption monitoring

 

Fuel consumption monitoring resolves several tasks of the machinery owner or fleet operator.

 

  • Optimizing machinery operation modes
  • Machinery downtime monitoring
  • Recalculation of fuel consumption quotas
  • Fuel theft prevention
  • Prediction of maintenance date

 

To achieve an optimal operating mode of vehicles:

  • a driver can select the resource-saving operation mode of the engine by using RPM and fuel rate data;
  • A mechanic can remotely monitor the technical state of the engine and fuel system, schedule technical maintenance while taking into account the actual operating conditions of the equipment, and monitor fuel consumption information using an online telematics system.

 

Benefits

  • Eliminating fuel theft in a fleet and thereby helping to reduce total fuel expenses and fleet costs.
  • Engine operating time monitoring. That helps fleet managers to exclude inappropriate use or excessive downtime of the machinery.
  • The data given by the fuel consumption monitoring helps to change the working type from the shift to performance-based pay.
  • Allows the machinery owner to recalculate fuel consumption caps for every unit of vehicle/machinery
  • Gives fleet-owner a multi-directional economic effect:
    • Increase in fleet performance
    • Higher fuel economy and savings on fuel and lubricants
    • Introduction of a performance-based pay system for work actually performed
    • Extended machinery lifetime, a decrease in repair and maintenance costs

Fuel tank monitoring

 

One of the primary fleet requirements for a GPS vehicle tracking system for trucks, construction equipment, and agricultural machinery is fuel level measurement. Additionally, data on fuel volume fill-ups and fuel volume drains from tanks or storage is helpful for telematics systems of ships and railway equipment, both of which have high fuel consumption. Incorporated for diesel power generator sets, heating equipment rooms, and corporate petrol stations are fuel level measurement and remote monitoring

 

Fuel tank monitoring allows the fleet manager or machinery supervisor to:

  • Measure precise volumes of fuel tank refill;
  • Detect fuel siphoning from the fuel tank;
  • Prevent fuel theft from the tank.
  • Reveal fuel mixing with extraneous liquids
  • Compare fuel quality of different suppliers/gas stations;
  • Indirectly define fuel consumption;
  • Schedule supply tank refill of the stationary engine.

 

Benefits

 

  • Increased accounting transparency for fuel costs: With the aid of fuel bills and fuel level monitoring, fleets can pinpoint the precise amounts and locations of fuel tank refilling.
  • Improved fuel efficiency and reduced fuel costs: Indirect “measurement” of fuel use, preventing fuel tank theft, and excluding attempts at fraud with sales slips – all of these help fleets implement fuel economy measures and, as a result, lower the business’s fuel expense.
  • Reduced fuel theft from the tank: Fuel volume measurement makes it possible to identify the date, time, and amount of fuel siphoning and helps stop unauthorized attempts to drain the fuel in the future.
  • Extended fuel system life and reduced maintenance costs: High-quality fuel mixed with extraneous liquids like water, alcohol, or used motor oil causes early engine failure and expensive repair costs. This can be avoided by using the fuel monitoring system to detect and notify users of changes in fuel quality.

Key Functionalities of Faststream’s Fuel Management System

Real-Time Fuel Monitoring

 

Real-time visibility into fuel consumption is one of a fuel monitoring system’s primary functions. The system gathers information on fuel levels, consumption rates, and other relevant parameters using sensors and meters installed in fuel tanks.

 

This information is then transmitted to a central monitoring station or accessible through a digital interface, allowing users to track fuel usage instantaneously.

Easier Trip Reporting and Transfer of Vehicles

 

The efficiency of the fleet as a whole is improved by drivers wasting less time on post-trip reporting and transferring vehicles between themselves more quickly (e.g., between shifts). Also drivers can easily update fuel purchases and upload transactions directly through our App to save time and avoid the hassle of paper receipts.

Fuel Theft Detection

 

Customers can analyze breakdowns of all fuel usage points, and the percentage quantity of fuel stolen, with the exact location and time of fuel theft, thanks to the simple and easy UI and detailed historical fuel fill/theft records.

Efficiency Optimization

 

A Fuel Monitoring System offers invaluable insights into efficiency optimization by tracking fuel consumption patterns. It helps users to spot excessive fuel use, identify inefficient driving habits, and take corrective action. Fleet owners can streamline operations, cut down on fuel waste, and ultimately save money.

Preventive Maintenance

 

Fuel monitoring systems frequently integrate with other systems, such as monitoring systems for machinery or vehicles, as part of preventive maintenance. The system can predict and notify users of potential maintenance issues by comparing fuel consumption data with maintenance records. This approach decreases downtime, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and increases the equipment’s lifespan.

Alert and Notification

Fuel Sensor Disconnection

 

If the Fuel sensor is disconnected, you will receive a notification. A wiring problem or a purposeful disconnect could have caused it to happen.

Fuel Mixing

 

The advanced fuel sensor automatically determines the fuel quality, allowing for possible additive or water mixing. When such an event happens, an alert is generated.

Fuel Fill and Drain

 

When a vehicle is filled up or the fuel drains, an alert notification is sent. The alert contains information about the event’s timing and location.

Fuel Monitoring Reports

 

Monthly Fuel Consumption: Graphical Report on fuel volume change in the vehicle’s fuel tank within the selected time interval.

Mileage Reports: Graphical reports on your fleet’s fuel efficiency, as well as data on fuel consumption based on distance.

Fuel Drain Reports: Fuel drain information in a statistical table report, and the number of drain events and total volume of drained fuel.

Fuel Refill Reports: Reports on refilling (filling) events within specified time intervals are listed in a table. Each detected fill-up contains information about the event’s date, time, and location, fuel volume at the beginning and end of the event, and the total volume of filled-up fuel.

Benefits Faststream’s Fuel Management System

Cost Savings

 

Fleet owners can significantly lower their fuel costs by identifying and addressing fuel waste, optimizing routes, and minimizing theft incidents. Improved profitability is directly influenced by this cost-effectiveness.

Environmental Impact

 

Fuel Monitoring Systems support sustainable practices and support international efforts to combat climate change by lowering fuel consumption and emissions.
