Total Fuel & Lubricant Management System (AvTrol)
An automated fuel and ADF inventory management platform that captures meter data from fueling trucks in real time, reconciles stock across the facility, and integrates with FBO point-of-sale and accounting systems.
AvTrol is Liquid Automation Systems' total fuel and lubricant management system, built to close the data gap between the physical act of aircraft fueling and the back-office systems that track inventory, billing, and regulatory compliance. In a conventional FBO or airline fuel operation, meter readings are taken manually at the truck, transcribed to paper uplift tickets, and re-entered into accounting or point-of-sale systems — a chain that introduces meter-reading errors, lost tickets, data transposition mistakes, and billing delays. AvTrol replaces this with automated capture of all meter readings, including Prist anti-icing additive injection volumes, at the truck, transmitting the data wirelessly to the Opti-MIM inventory management software platform in near-real time. Opti-MIM provides real-time inventory reconciliation, consumption reporting by meter, tail number, truck, operator, and fuel type, and integrates with third-party accounting and point-of-sale systems. The platform has demonstrated integration with Air BP's Compass transaction processing system, and is designed to work with any truck type, removing the constraint on mixed-fleet operations. For ADF management alongside fuel, AvTrol supports automatic reorder-level monitoring with email alerts to purchasing or fluid suppliers, providing a closed-loop approach to both fuel and glycol replenishment. Tank telemetry integration extends the system's visibility to bulk storage, delivering web-accessible level monitoring and leak-detection alerting via PC or mobile device on battery-powered wireless sensors. The system is a fit for FBOs, airline fueling departments, and airport operators running mixed fuel-and-deicing fluid operations who need auditable, reconciled records for compliance and cost control.
