Automatic Preset Loading at Oil Depot Loading Racks

Automatic Preset Loading at Oil Depot Loading Racks is a controlled truck-loading solution designed for fuel depots and terminals. Operators preset a target volume or mass on the loading rack (or receive it from the ERP/dispatch system). The system then executes loading automatically through the rack controller/batch controller and metering devices, ensuring each shipment is delivered accurately and consistently.

How it works

Instruction → Authorization → Loading → Cut-off → Record

• A preset loading instruction is issued (from ERP or local rack operation screen)

• The driver/vehicle is authorized (optional: card/QR/access control)

• Loading starts and the system monitors real-time flow/measurement

• The system automatically stops at the preset target and handles safe cut-off

• Loading results are recorded and documents can be generated automatically

Key advantages

• High accuracy & repeatability: preset control reduces under/over-loading

• Faster truck turnaround: standardized steps, fewer manual actions

• Loss and dispute reduction: clear measurement records and traceable evidence

• Safer operations: supports interlocks and exception handling (site-specific)

• Audit-ready data: complete logs by order, truck, bay, operator, and time

Typical integration (optional)

• Loading rack controller / batch controller

• Flow meters / metering skids (temperature/density compensation as required)

• Weighbridge systems (if used)

• Tank gauging, access control, SCADA/PLC/DCS (site-specific)

Result: a reliable, depot-grade loading process that improves efficiency, compliance, and operational control.
