DATATRACK Fuel Systems have today installed their first barcode operated fuelling facility at the giant Toyota import centre in Bristol.
Toyota (GB) import around 150,000 new Toyota and Lexus vehicles each year. The majority of these come through Toyota’s Import Centre at Portbury Docks, near Bristol, where the preparation and distribution of the vehicles is carried out by Walon UK. Part of this process involves the fuelling of the vehicles to pre-specified levels, ready to be sent to dealerships across the UK.
DataTrack Fuel Systems Ltd has provided the technical solution to Toyota’s requirement for an automated fuelling process that utilises barcode technology. Each vehicle has its own stock card with a barcode containing the VIN, the trim specification and the type and amount of fuel required. Once this has been scanned by the operator, using the hand-held scanner, the fuel controller sends information to the petrol or diesel pump to dispense the amount required for the chosen vehicle. When fuelling has been completed, the data is sent to the office PC via the Toyota IT network. This data is then shown in a report including the vehicle ID, pump operator ID, type of fuel, and amount of fuel dispensed. These reports can be accessed at any time and give clear and accurate information to Toyota staff on thousands of car fuelling’s per month.
Richard Stubbs, Managing Director of DataTrack commented, “Fuel management is all about cost control and making the fuelling process easier. The Toyota bar code system is the latest example of DataTrack technology being used to achieve the fuelling solution our customers require.”
DataTrack are manufacturers of fuel management systems and also supply a wide range of fuel pumps, tank gauges and other fuelling equipment. This will often be as part of a new project or as an upgrade to an existing fuelling facility. The main purpose of fuel management is cost efficiencies, which can be achieved by installing a controller with PC software to show all fuelling activity in the form of on-screen and printable reports.
Operating throughout the UK and Ireland, DataTrack technology is being successfully applied to a diverse range of applications. In addition to the mainstream market of Road Transport and Local Authority fleets, these systems are also in use fuelling light aircraft, mobile cranes, helicopters, boats, and intercity trains.
