Interface with Management System/ERP: integration with company management software, facilitating the information flow between field supervision systems (TAS) and management systems for smooth and efficient control of shipment scheduling and acquisition of final data for accounting and tax purposes.
Shipment scheduling is received by NUOVO PETROL automatically.
In the absence of a connection with the management system, the scheduling of shipments can be defined directly in NUOVO PETROL through a specific operational procedure.

At each required point, driver identification can take place via contactless electronic badge reader (RFID) or biometric reader, guaranteeing high levels of safety and traceability.

Vehicle identification is managed by cameras equipped with automatic number plate recognition technology, ensuring fast and error-free vehicle identification.
These are ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) and LPR (License Plate Recognition) cameras, designed to capture vehicle number plates. Models with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) can also identify licence plate characters and compare them with an internal database by reviewing Blacklists and Whitelists.
In addition, identification can take place with LONG TAG RECOGNITION solutions (telepass type) and RFID tags installed on the vehicles.

The driver can signal his arrival at the storage facility by biometric fingerprint reading, or by vehicle or driver badge reading. It is possible to install an interactive booking TOTEM functioning as a stand-alone station including a load sheet printer, identification readers, and monitor.
Load booking can be managed through dedicated totems and/or through the mobile application FLUID (Fast Loading Utility for Intelligent Distribution) which allows booking directly via smartphone.

Enables continuous and automated monitoring of the levels in the storage tanks through the interface with the tank gauging system.

After verifying the presence of a scheduled load for the driver and a suitable free bay for the type of load, the system will prompt the driver to enter the depot through the dedicated monitor in the driver’s waiting room, a variable message panel in the tanker truck parking lot, or via voice synthesis.
The loading grid is the list of scheduled shipments for a specific day, each associated with the time from which the driver can load (call time) and the loading bay (optional).
In doing so, operators can optimise the time sequence of vehicle access and establish the loading bay in advance, if the system is unable to identify it automatically.
The grid time can be determined in one of the following ways: generated at the same time as the shipment planning (it is one of the shipment data), defined by the depot operator who can change the grid time for scheduled shipment and forced through the system at a predefined time, if not defined in advance.

In the storage area, various vehicle and driver identification devices such as cameras, proximity readers, and biometric fingerprint readers are used to control and validate access and exit.

When applicable, the NUOVO PETROL System can acquire the weights recorded by the tare and gross weighing station.
The driver and tanker identification is carried out in the same way as for entry and exit; i.e., with a number plate recognition camera, proximity badge reader, and biometric reader.
The weight measurements acquired are validated by Nuovo Petrol before authorising the continuation of the operational phases.

The loading of products in the bays, which are controlled by TAS Nuovo Petrol, is carried out by the drivers that operate and interact with the system via control terminals in the loading bays (GraL).
Once the bay terminal receives the quantities programmed for loading from the system, the driver autonomously subdivides the programmed quantity according to individual presets, using the terminal keyboard and display.
Once the loading phase is over, the bay terminal sends the load data to TAS Nuovo Petrol, which forwards them to the management system.
Loading operations can be carried out in automatic or manual mode.
In an automatic operation, loading operations are controlled by the system.
In addition to managing driver directives (START, STOP commands, individual preset valorisation), the bay terminal, when foreseen, controls the various loading consents, including: Earthing and overfill prevention connection, Vapour Recovery Unit (VRU) connection, Emergency button, Arm position.
The signals inhibit the start of loading if all of them are not verified, and they interrupt dispensing if one of them is not verified.
Should there be a need for additive treatment, TAS Nuovo Petrol allows additional checks to identify low levels in the additive tanks and faults in the loading pumps.

The interface with the ERP system allows the automated dispatch of the final loading data and the scheduled shipments.
The ERP will then generate the necessary documents like the Simplified Accompanying Document for Excise Goods (SAAD).

An automated system for drivers’ self-collection of loading documents.
The management of document collection synchronizes the driver’s access authorization to the document collection room with the printing of documents related to their shipment.
