Powering Efficiency Together: Touchstar and Alpeco Integration

The Touchstar ’Fuelstar’ Electronic Proof of Delivery system is compatible with the latest generation Alpeco ’TEX’ flow computer, as well as its predecessor, the ’Truck III’.

The display, keypad and all electronic circuitry of the TEX are contained in a single ATEX-approved housing, which does not require a separate cab-mounted CPU or external junction box. This provides more space in the cab and no cabling to run from the cab out to the register, a major time saver both in terms of installation and maintenance.

 

Alpeco TEX

Driving Efficiency and Safety with the TEX

TEX is equipped with a programable, real-time inventory which stores and monitors on-board grades and volumes. Coloured tank graphics remind the operator of compartment contents during the delivery set-up process. Once a product has been selected, only compartments containing the same grade can be opened. This prevents accidental opening of the wrong compartment and avoids costly cross-contamination.

Multiple connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and USB are

available for enhanced communication and data transfer between the TEX and in-cab tablets, such as the Touchstar TS3300 ATEX device. 

Many fuel distributors have adopted this hardware combination to optimise their delivery operations. The current mutual client base includes Rix Petroleum, Carnegie Fuels, Lovell Fuels, AID Fuels and Corrib Oils.

Gordon Hyland, Head of Sales for the Touchstar Proof of Delivery Solutions, comments: “Safety, reliability and excellent after-sales service are always foremost in Alpeco’s thinking for the systems and equipment that they provide. This mirrors our own business philosophy and ensures that, together, we’re able to provide our mutual clients with turnkey solutions that are fit-for-purpose and resilient”.
