There are a number of fluid management systems available for fleets to choose from. Many are customizable to meet the needs of any sized fleet. Each system operates slightly differently from each other, so it’s worth doing research when deciding on the best fit.
Liquidynamics offers a modularized, wireless plug-and-play fluid management system, called OilCop, with flexibility to fit any size facility. The OilCop operating system resides on the Controller (the control center), which plugs into the customer’s area network and communicates to an unlimited number of Fluid Command Modules (FCM). Tracking and reports are accessed using a web browser on any computer or wireless device connected to the network.
Graco’s Pulse Pro Fluid Management system offers a wireless system with two components, the Pulse Hub, a wireless, web-enabled software, and the Pulse dispense meter, with additional components available. Tracking and reports are accessed using web-enabled software on any network-connected, web-enabled device, including a computer, tablet, or smartphone.
SKF’s Lincoln-branded LFC 6000 fluid inventory control and management system is used with LFC Enterprise software to accurately track, monitor, and dispense fluids. This system can manage up to 50 sites with one server installation. Tracking and reports are accessed online using a standard internet browser.
Trak Engineering offers a cloud-based fuel and fluid management system called FluidSecure. The system includes a small device that controls power to the dispensing hose solenoid valve, called a Link. The FluidSecure system’s data is accessible via a mobile application that can be accessed on a smartphone. Tracking and reports are accessed using the cloud; the database resides on a Microsoft Azure Secure Server.
