One
of the rather major reasons, which
prompted us to develop the SMART OIL
DISPENSER, is that in present Oil
Dispensing system – all operations
are performed manually and it has
many disadvantages. The customer remains
highly dissatisfied, as there is a
feeling that they get less quantity
of Oil than the money they have paid
for. Moreover it is very difficult
to control the flow of oil to the
accurate quantity, especially during
the peak hours. Many times the quantity
delivered is more than the quantity
required. This causes loss to owners
of the petrol pumps. This leads to
dissatisfaction amongst customer as
well as owners. SMART OIL DISPENSER
overcomes this problem and ensures
that the correct quantity is accurately
dispensed and leaves no room for any
kind of manual errors. The basic idea
is to have a system consisting of
a keyboard and a measuring unit. The
keyboard is used to enter different
data like rates of oil and the quantity
of oil required. The system takes
over the charge of an attendant as
soon as the required quantity is entered
and delivers the accurate quantity
of oil. Oil-flow is incremented with
quantity of oil and its amount is
also calculated as well as displayed
on the display.
Keyboard
Based Entry of Oil Quantity and Delivery
with the accuracy of 1 ml.
Calculates
the amount and prints the bill.
At
any point of time, One Touch check for
the total quantity of oil sold and the
stock.
The
easy handing over and taking over the
charges from the operator at the end
and start of the shifts becomes possible
As attached Non-volatile Memory keeps
the data of each customer - e.g. customer
no., quantity delivered to him and amount
collected from him.
A
dot matrix, 80 column printer can also
be attached for printing the bills and
the “Shift End Summary.”
A
RS 232 serial port on-board facilitates
its interface to the PC for further
manipulation of data like “Online
transmission”, Account maintenance
etc.
Advantages
of the SMART OIL DISPENSER over the
existing system are as under:
1).
HIGHLY ACCURATE:
As the price
of the oil is going high and high
it has now become a necessity to make
the measurement with high accuracy
as even the cost of 1ml is also considerable.
2). MUCH FASTER:
This machine
uses faster micro controllers as its
CPU, there fore these machines are
very fast and accurate to meet the
“Peak Hour Requirements”
of the outlets. This way, it increases
the sales of the outlets.
3). RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY
Machines have
proved more reliable than man when
this kind of precision is required.
As there is very tough competition
in every field, it has become more
important to give customer complete
satisfaction and good service.
4). IT IS CLEAN AND SPILADGE FREE.
We have very
limited resources of fuel available
to us and it has become very precious
– hence it is now our duty to
save every single drop of it. The
use of the machine diminishes the
spillage and loses.
5). NOT
DEPENDENT ON OPERATOR. EVEN CUSTOMER
CAN VERY EASILY OPERATE THE SYSTEM
IF REQUIRED.
6). FULL
PROOF AND MAINTAINS THE ACCOUNTS FOR
A COMPLETE SHIFT. KEEPS, RECORDS OF
STOCKS AND SALES.
