- Income loss due to incorrect stock control of fluids is often neglected
- All workshops have unaccounted fluid loss
- Average fluid loss is about 10%
- When the fluid loss is discovered it has already affected income
- Better control of fluids leads to higher profit
Why Do You Need A Fluid Mornitoring System?
Why are not oil and expensive fluids handled as other spare parts?
Can YOU be sure that your current system correctly invoices every litre of oil?
For example: a workshop consumes 300 litres of oil per month. Based on a sales price of € 25/litre the yearly turnover is € 90000.
The maximal profit will only occur IF all oil is accounted and invoiced for.
This example highlights that every litre of oil that is not invoiced is a loss of € 25
Calculation Example
| Calculation example based on 3600 litres oil/year | ||
|---|---|---|
| Estimated oil loss | Oil loss | Lost income/year |
| 5% | 180 L | € 4 500 |
| 10% | 360 L | € 9 000 |
| 15% | 540 L | € 13 500 |
What Do You Gain With A Fuild Monitoring System
| Quality assurance | Vehicle is filled with correct fluid as specified for maximum performance |
| Security | Unauthorized dispense eliminated. Only active authorized work order and PIN are valid for dispense (DMS/ERP integration needed) |
| Increased efficiency | Dispensed volume is automatically registered on the Work order (DMS/ERP integration needed) |
| Increased profit | Get paid for the correct volume dispensed |
| Environmental benefit | Get paid for the correct volume dispensed |
| Optimized profit | Top-ups are registered and invoiced |
| Environmental security | Reduces risk for spillage and leakage as system is not pressurized when it is not in-use |
| Correct stock value | Complete control of stock in tanks and drums (tank sensor required) |
| Short payback-time | Short time to reach profit of total investment Short payback-time |
Functions
Administration Benefits
DMS/ERP Integration
Before dispense of fluid can start, the work order must be validated in the system. After dispensing fluid, the transaction data is automatically sent and added to the invoice. Today we have developed integrations to about 140 different DMS/ERP systems worldwide. This means that we already have many DMS-connections that we can deliver for immediate implementation and operation.
Control of fillings
All fluids are registered and saved safely in a database.
Control of stock levels
Automatic level sensors measures and updates tank volumes. If automatic sensors are not used, tank levels are calculated by subtracting the volumes dispensed in the system.
Email message of stock levels
Automatic email report of tank levels. Reported periodically or when a set level is reached in a tank. Email can be sent to several accounts, so that stock managers and oil suppliers can be informed.
Management and report data
Many reports are available, for example:
- Who has used the system, showing filled volume and when
- Consumption of fluids during a selected period
- Historical stock levels
Advanced Technology
Modules with intercommunication
System modules communicate with each other in a stable internal loop, no risk for external disturbances.
PC control
Input data of all parameters, like users, tanks, work orders, user groups etc in a central database.
Support for external card readers and RFID
Easy to input data with external readers. Reduces errors and increases
security. Common applications include:
- Bar code reading of work order
- Magnetic card reading of user identification
Control all types of fluids
We supply a broad range of pumps and measuring devices in different materials, such as aluminium, stainless steel and PVC (for different pressure classes). Within our product range we can thereby handle many fluids, for example:
- Oils of different thickness/viscosities
- Chemicals like windscreen fluids, coolants/antifreeze and AdBlue®
- Greases
Supports PLC-functions for the industry
Possible to build and support powerful functions for dosing of fluids.
Possible to control start and stop sequence by adding external buttons.
Options of different output signals to show status, like OK and Error on lamps, or directly in an external system.
