What is on board computer? An on board computer is a tiny computer which is installed inside the cab of a truck. This type of in-cab computer needs to be connected with a peripheral like scanner, printer, temperature as well as different safety sensors. This device provides data to an operator and truck driver that mainly increases productivity significantly. Modern fuel delivery computer is also used for petroleum delivery fleets. Furthermore, the in-cab computer display that allows drivers to exchange data with the back office in real time. The key features of in-cab computer: Complete Product Reconciliation Improved Product Security Back Office Integration and Deployment Reliable interface with all truck systems Real time communication between truck and back office systems The manufacturers nowadays are designing top cab computers that are installed in trucks by integrating GPS technology. This is the reason why these devices are considered as an ideal tool for tracking the system. It helps to keep the back office up to date on the details like when and where a truck need to perform the fleet, where to stop pumping etc. Apart from that there are many other benefits of the GPS computer device too. For example: the fuel delivery computer has an ability to track the asset management which allows the follow-up of the position of different valuable equipments like trailers, containers, roll-off trailers or swap bodies. Another important feature of this on board computer is Geo-Fencing. The Geo-Fencing feature is much appreciated by the carriers as the alarm message that the back office gets as soon as a truck enters or leaves a predefined zone. As mentioned before, these cab computers help a lot in petroleum fleet operation management. The most recent types of devices help the back office monitor conditions in the trucks as well as trailers, such as temperature, door opening, or fuel level. As the back office can send order to the drivers via on board computer that makes it easier for them to register loading and unloading time. Fuel delivery computer is actually a water resistant device that is equipped with innovative color Touch screen display, compact flash, and smart card as well as magnetic card readers. It is also easily equipped with USB host and device port. All the application software used in the device can be custom-designed making it adaptable to a wide variety of applications. It can also work with an optional internal wireless modem for HSPA or EVDO networks. Another important feature of this innovative device is that it is interfaced to an electronic register as well as to the truck additive injection system. An electronic driver log (EOBR) and connection to the trucks engine, brakes, speedometer, and odometer fed driver behavior, chassis telematics, and customer delivery data to the back office via satellite (real-time). All the customers of these innovative systems are assigned a dedicated deployment expert to ensure the exchange of data between truck and back office is robust and usable. Furthermore, the specialist engineers also guarantee customer satisfaction and remain at the customer’s disposal for questions, upgrades, and troubleshooting for the life of the system. BASE Engineering’s BASEstation is an on board computer designed specifically for petroleum delivery fleets. Our fuel delivery computer and back office connection were designed and built by people with 33 years’ experience in fuel delivery automation and control.
