Solution Advantages

EasyFuelPlus is OTI PetroSmarts scalable automated wireless fuel

management and payment solution aimed at ensuring that the
maximum volume of the right fuel type is dispensed into the right
vehicle.
Wireless, cashless, cardless and paperless, EasyFuelPlus is based on
OTIs state-of-the-art contactless smart card technology platform,
providing customers with maximum flexibility and security.
Escalating fuel costs demand that customers introduce more
stringent controls when refuelling at both on-road and homebase
locations. EasyFuelPlus addresses the needs of the commercial
market sector by enabling customers to control and manage
the refuelling process against a customisable set of business
rules, whilst automatically capturing transaction information,
including odometer and/or engine operating hours.
The EasyFuelPlus solution can also be leveraged to
address the needs of private motorists by automating
the refuelling process and serving as a platform to
promote customer loyalty.

VID
The Vehicle Identification Device (VID) is a highly secure smart card based vehicle identifier, which
stores information such as the account number, registration number, fuel grade, and tank capacity
of the vehicle.It has inputs for odometer and engine operating hours, an extended memory map
and incorporates transaction counters.The tag is powered by the vehicles electrical supply.

LR Window Mount Antenna

In order to establish RF communication between the VID and EF VIS Site Controller, a long range
stick shaped antenna, which enables easy installation and improves gain, is mounted on the
vehicles window using a two-sided adhesive patch.

Passive Tag
The Passive Tag is a vehicle identifier, which either serves as the inlet antenna or can be used on
a stand-alone basis. The Passive Tag comes in a variety of form factors. It can store information
such as the account number, registration number, fuel grade, and tank capacity of the vehicle
and incorporates a transaction counter.

Universal Integration Approach

OTI PetroSmarts universal integration approach enables customers to deploy the
EasyFuelPlus solution with relative ease as the VIS (Vehicle Identification System)
application (hosted on the EF VIS Site Controller) supports an interface to the existing
pump controller, whilst managing the complexity of the interface to EasyFuelPlus and
the business rules for the application.

Handheld Tag
Presented at the Saturn 6500 or RFN, these tags can be used to support driver identification
when the VID or Passive Tag is encoded to work in conjunction with a driver tag. These tags can
also be used to support attendant tagging i.e. where the pump is placed in override mode to
refuel a non-EasyFuelPlus equipped vehicle. Stand-alone handheld tags can also be used to
refuel specific hired vehicles or plant equipment.

GPS Odometer Sender (GOS)

The GOS is used in conjunction with a VID to measure distance travelled independently
of the vehicle. The GOS units have a preset pulse per kilometre value eliminating the need for
calibration at the time of installation or recalibration thereafter.

PUMP CONTROLLER

Radio Frequency Nozzle (RFN)

The Radio Frequency Nozzle is a wireless transceiver fitted to the nozzle and is used as a Passive
Tag reader and nozzle identifier. The RFN communicates with the EF VIS Site Controller. The RFN
is robust, does not require any adaptations to the nozzle and is easy to install. Where a customer
opts not to use the Saturn 6500 reader, handheld tags such as attendant and driver tags can
be presented to the RFN.
PASSIVE TAG

EF VIS Site Controller

The EasyFuel VIS Site Controller is an integrated unit that communicates with OTIs VIS
hardware, processes business rules for transaction authorisation and passes pump release
instructions to the pump controller.

VID ODO, ENGINE HOURS

The Saturn 6500 (optional)

The Saturn 6500 is a contactless smart card reader fitted to the face of the pump. It is used to
read handheld tags (driver tags, override tags, stand-alone vehicle or plant specific tags). It also
provides user feedback and prompts (audio buzzer and alphanumeric display).
