Data
management tool and telematics systems developer OEM Data Delivery has
introduced a new fuel-tracking product for companies in the construction,
mining and aggregate industries. Multi-Pump is designed to allow management to
track and document the usage of every fluid - including fuel, engine oil,
transmission fluid and hydraulic fluid - for each individual vehicle and
equipment unit in the fleet.
Multi-Pump
is a wireless, paperless, hands-free technology that identifies each vehicle,
its location and the fluids dispensed to it.
It has a GPS antenna and a radio antenna and captured information can be
accessed via email or password-protected web reports. The company said that data can also be easily
integrated into all major back office management systems through OEM Data
Delivery's Integrator Middleware.
Multi Pump
offers several other important benefits in addition to tracking fluid use,
according to the company, such as enabling both job estimating and job costing
to be far more accurate, thanks to precise operations data. The company said that it is a valuable tool
for monitoring the health and performance of equipment, since consumption
spikes when maintenance attention is needed.
Multi-Pump will also generate custom service alerts, so that maintenance
can be scheduled when it is most advantageous, and over-servicing can be
avoided. Multi-Pump maintains individual vehicle histories and facilitates important
calculations and analyses.
In addition
to generating real-time information regarding critical resources, OEM Data
Delivery said that Multi-Pump is an excellent way of preventing fuel theft and
the unauthorized dispensing of fuel.
