Camera-Controlled Fuel Automation
Incorrect vehicle fuelling, false plate entries and unauthorised dispensing create serious operational and financial risks at fuel stations. The Camera-Controlled Fuel Automation module delivers full oversight — capturing visual records at the moment of dispensing, cross-checking identity systems and automatically flagging anomalies.

Unmonitored Risks at Fuel Stations
- Fuel dispensed to the wrong vehicle — noticed too late, irreversible
- Incorrect or intentionally false plate entry
- Unauthorised vehicles obtaining fuel
- Undocumented staff errors or misuse
- Refuel records that cannot be verified retrospectively
How It Works
Multi-Layer Verification at the Moment of Dispensing
- 1
Camera Placement
IP cameras are positioned to fully cover each fuelling point and connected to the Fim7L.
- 2
Instant Photo Capture
The camera captures a photo right before the pump receives the dispensing command.
- 3
Attaching to the Transaction
The photo is automatically linked to the record with date/time/pump/plate.
- 4
Cross-Verification
Plate or tag data from the card reader (Fimreader Plus) or VTS is compared with the camera image.
- 5
Alert & Reporting
A mismatch triggers an on-screen alert for the attendant. Continue/cancel decision is logged and the event is fully reported.

Identity Verification Layers
Plate Recognition · RFID · Card Cross-Check
The system can work with three identity verification methods — individually or combined:
Plate Recognition (VRS)
Plate is read from the image and matched against the registered plate. Mismatch is reported.
Vehicle ID System (VTS)
Pump-mounted reader reads the vehicle tag. Cross-verified against the camera image.
Fimreader Plus
Driver scans a card to enter the plate. Compared with camera image; mismatch alerts the attendant.
