FAS · Fuel Automation System

Every litre of diesel, accounted for.

Diesel is one of the biggest costs on any mine, and one of the easiest to lose. FAS makes sure fuel only goes into authorised equipment, records every transaction automatically and shows you exactly where your diesel goes, as it happens.

The problem

Sound familiar?

Problem

Diesel walks off site

Fuel goes into the wrong machine, a jerry can or a private vehicle, and nobody can prove it happened.

Problem

Fuel logs nobody trusts

Hand-written dispensing sheets are incomplete, late and impossible to reconcile against tank stock.

Problem

Running dry at the worst moment

Tanks run low without warning, machines stand idle and emergency deliveries cost a premium.

The solution

How FAS solves it

Stop theft at the nozzle

Every machine carries an RFID tag. Pumps only release fuel to recognised, authorised equipment, up to its tank capacity. No tag, no fuel.

Records that write themselves

Machine, attendant, litres, hours and time are captured automatically with every fill. No forms, no typing, no gaps.

Never get caught with an empty tank

Live tank levels and low-level alerts tell you when to reorder before machines stop.

Keeps working when the signal doesn’t

Remote pit or no network? FAS keeps dispensing and recording offline, then syncs automatically. No lost data.

Fits the tanks and bowsers you already have

Built for bulk tanks and mobile bowsers, so there’s no need to replace your fuel infrastructure.

Numbers your finance team can use

Consumption by machine, site and shift flows straight into your reports and ERP, ready for cost control and rebate claims.

FAQ

Fuel Automation System: frequently asked questions

Does FAS work with our existing bulk tanks and bowsers?

Yes. FAS is designed to fit standard bulk tanks and mobile fuel bowsers, so you can automate fuel control without replacing your infrastructure.

How does FAS prevent diesel theft?

Each machine is identified by an RFID tag before fuel is released, and the volume is limited to what that machine can actually hold. Every transaction is logged with machine, attendant, litres and time, so losses become visible immediately.

What happens if there is no network on site?

FAS keeps working offline. Transactions are stored locally and synchronised automatically as soon as a connection is available, so no data is lost.

Can FAS support our diesel rebate claims?

Yes. FAS provides verified, machine-level dispensing records that support rebate claims. If you want fully automated, audit-ready claims, ART (Advanced Rebate Tracker) is available as a separate product.

Can FAS connect to our ERP or reporting tools?

Yes. Fuel data can be shared with your ERP and reporting tools, so finance and operations work from the same numbers.
