Fleetwatch System Monitor Software

Product Features

The key to the SYSTEMController's power and adaptability is the special System Monitor software package installed on the controller. System Monitor Provides real-time monitoring of activity on the fuel islands and maintenance bays Displays a real-time visual interface to tank monitor systems Can be set up to automatically generate reports and alerts. System Monitor software supports any size transit customer, large or small.

Important Software Features

Single Facility Local Mode

In single facility mode the System Monitor is configured to run out of one database located on the SYSTEMController

Mulit-facility Local Mode

In multi-facility local mode the System Monitor at each a central location runs out of a database located on the network, and communicates with the equipment at installation locations via a network connection. This allows city-wide/agency-wide monitoring of all service data.

Typical Operation

In a typical situation the System Monitor program maintains constant communication with all of the RIH Units located at a facility via network or direct serial connection.

Generally an employee number is entered at the beginning of the service transaction. When the program detects input from an RIH Unit it begins a transaction record. The System Monitor verifies the employee ID entered is a valid number and also checks the employee database to see if the employee is authorized to fuel at the current time and day of the week.

The system will then prompt the service attendant to use the RF Reader to capture the vehicle number and life-to-date mileage from the vehicle being serviced. Once the vehicle data has been captured, the System Monitor validates the vehicle number, checks to see if the employee entered above is authorized to fuel that vehicle and makes sure the vehicle has not already exceeded its daily fuel allotment.

If all of the validation checks are passed the software unlocks only those fluids assigned to that particular vehicle in the vehicle database. During servicing the program monitors the amount of each fluid dispensed into the vehicle and will automatically shut off the fluid if it exceeds the cutoff amount specified in the vehicle database for that vehicle.

Once the vehicle has been serviced and moves out of servicing position the vehicle detector attached to the system senses the vehicle departure. It prompts the system to record that service transaction, to lock all flows and return to the initial employee ID prompt in preparation for the next transaction.
