  • Each of these compartments can be distributed to the body of the haulage unit in such a manner that they will haul different products in different or same volumes.
  • the products to be hauled such as 97 octane unleaded, 95 octane unleaded, diesel, blended diesel fuel, kerosene, etc. can be located/filled into the different compartments at desired volumes without possibility of mixing of them with each other.
  • the fuel needs of a filling station can be covered with just a one haulage unit (tanker) wholly by placing/filling 95 octane unleaded gasoline into one compartment and blended diesel fuel into another and diesel into one another compartment of tanker / wagon.
  • Haulage units are receiving fluid load demanded to be hauled from filling terminals and then unloading at another station located in another destination. Such filling and unloading operations of concerned tanker are made into above ground and underground storage environments.
  • Unloading / filling process is followed by entering order quantity to be filled or unloaded into a control device, a recording media (like a computer) or automation system.
  • Filling / unloading operations of the haulage units such as wagon / road fuel tankers used especially for hauling of refinery products can be realized by means of manholes suitable for overhead filling / unloading operation or filling / unloading couplings positioned relatively at the more lower part of haulage unit .
  • any mistake of the operator related with filling compartments may lead mixing of different types of products inside the compartment or place into which transfer to be made from the compartment.
  • products loss can be experienced again since separating mixed products is a very difficult process.
  • Another technical problem that may appear in the current technique is the mistakes seen during the unloading of filled products into correct destination properly.
  • the product can be transferred to different destinations instead of pre-intended destination. This situation may be caused by operator mistakes or by the persons intentionally for the purpose of stealing product.
  • the purpose of the invention is to establish a system which can be used easily and safely due to its freeness from human errors.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide a tracking system in which all the operations are done by the driver without requiring operator.
  • An another purpose of the invention is to establish a system which is able make data entry without having the steps such as PIN code entry or card read.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to provide a system which can operate mistake-free by assigning and controlling haulage unit and haulage unit's compartment labels by the system independently from an operator during the filling / unloading operations.
  • Another purpose of the invention is to establish a control system which provides that the compartment of haulage unit or relating to haulage unit is filled and unloaded only at the destinations pre-determined by the system.
  • the invention is an electronic system for product identification and filling management which provides automatic filling by recognizing both product and dispatching environment automatically by removing the operator control during filling and unloading operations between fluid hauling vehicles such as tankers, wagons, vessels and similar and underground and above ground tanks .
  • the subject system consists of the combination of sub elements of the system positioned over filling terminals, haulage units and unloading terminals and functioning / operation of the system is provided via coupled usage of these sub elements separately or collectively.
  • filling terminal control system sub elements which are consisted of electronic labels located over each filling unit, electronic label drivers which can transmit identity details read from electronic label to control unit, 1 electronic label reader per each filling island of filling terminal, a visible and an audible warning unit for each filling island and terminal filling control interface are positioned .
  • filling unit may become filling arm.
  • haulage unit control system sub elements which are consisted of electronic hauling unit label which will be provided one piece for each haulage unit, and able to carry and transmit the data regarding tanker electronically, one electronic manhole label for each manhole cover for each compartment within the haulage unit, and one electronic coupling label for each filling / unloading coupling for each manhole cover for each compartment within the haulage unit are positioned .
  • Haulage unit may comprise a haulage unit control unit which is able to provide tracking of haulage unit and control of electronic labels other than the sub elements described above. Mentioned control unit can be a controlled having a microprocessor. Haulage unit control unit is positioned over the haulage unit. Over the unloading terminal; haulage unit control system sub elements which are consisted of unloading control unit which verify electronic labels of underground / above ground tank at unloading terminal and haulage unit coupling electronic labels, engage alarm devices where mixing risk appears, and prevent overflow of underground tanks via tank automation interface, electronic label reader, underground / above ground tank electronic product labels, visible and audible warning unit and underground / above ground tanks automation interface are positioned . Cable glands and communication / power cables are added to the system separately in order to provide the above defined system sub elements operate in an interrelated way with each other.
  • electronic labels can a label at RFID structure.
  • electronic labels are RFID label
  • electronic label reader can be RFID label readers.
  • Sub elements of invented filling terminal system, haulage unit system sub elements, and unloading terminal system sub elements are connected to a central server in order to provide that they are connected to each other and operate compatibly.
  • Filling terminal sub elements, haulage unit system sub elements and unloading terminal system sub elements are kept under control by connecting terminal filling control interface, haulage unit control unit, unloading control unit and underground / above ground tanks automation interface to a central server.
  • central server can run through a web interface and both system tracking and control can be done via web interface .
  • haulage unit label of haulage unit is read by electronic label reader and approaching haulage unit is defined in terminal filling control interface.
  • Haulage unit is directed to suitable filling unit (arm) in compliance with the data recorded at terminal filling control interface.
  • Electronic label on the filling unit and electronic labels located over the haulage unit compartment are read by means of electronic label readers located on filling island and the product to be filled and predefined compartment are verified. After the product to be filled and filling compartment are approved, filling operation is started. The product in suitable amount is being transferred to the concerned compartment under control upon commencement of filling operation.
  • Terminal filling control interface is controlling filling operation continuously. Warnings can be raised via visible and audible warning units if the electronic label definitions defined in the system do not match each other. A visible warning is also shown to the driver or operator that the operation is being carried out properly as well as for the mistakes such as wrong connections during filling or overflow of filling environment. While correct filling in an application of invention is shown by visible and audible warning unit in green light throughout the duration of filling, wrong filling operation is shown to driver or operator with a red light or audible warning. If red light or audible warning is arisen in the system, filling operation is being stopped by terminal filling control interface.
  • filling island If the structure of filling island is appropriate, more than one filling unit can be defined concurrently for the compartments of haulage unit and filling operation for all compartment can started simultaneously. Since a single visible and audible warning unit will not sufficient for one filling island in such a case, a separate visible and audible warning unit can be used for each filling unit.
  • haulage unit is sent to the destination defined by central server. When requested, electronic labels of haulage unit can be sealed by the central server up to destination to where haulage unit will be transferred. Therefore, it is not possible to unload haulage unit up to the intended destination. This avoids unloading other than intended destinations by mistake or by malicious persons.
  • An electronic locking mechanism is positioned over manhole or filling / unloading coupling in order to provide sealing. In this way, concerned covers and valves are remained locked until the haulage unit arrives at the intended destination.
  • a position determination and tracking unit can be contained in the structure of invented haulage unit control unit.
