Ember diesel control

Control every litre before it leaves the pump.

Ember controls diesel dispensing at the pump. It verifies the operator and asset, applies FarmTrace rules, then records the completed transaction.

How Ember works

Site assessment, configuration, installation and support.

Connected to FarmTraceEmber makes the physical fuel point part of your FarmTrace system.

FarmTrace sends the data and rules needed to authorise the transaction. Ember controls the fuel point. The completed record returns to FarmTrace for reporting and management.

1

Authorise in FarmTrace

FarmTrace checks the operator, asset, allocation and permissions before diesel can flow.

2

Dispense with Dsync

Dsync captures the driver and vehicle, starts Ember and shows the measured amount until dispensing is complete.

3

Record automatically

The completed transaction appears in FarmTrace in real time with the asset, operator and litres dispensed.

Every fuel issue follows the same clear sequence.

Verify the operator

The operator identifies themselves in Dsync.
  • Facial recognition
  • NFC tags
  • QR codes

Verify the asset

The tractor, vehicle or equipment is identified.
  • Asset scanning
  • QR codes
  • NFC tags

Check allocation and permissions

FarmTrace applies the site's transaction rules before fuel can flow.

Authorise dispensing

Ember enables the configured pump or valve.

Measure every litre

The flow meter records the quantity as diesel is dispensed.

Stop dispensing

When dispensing ends, Ember disables the pump or valve.

Record the transaction automatically

The completed transaction is written to FarmTrace.

Control the fuel point as part of FarmTrace.

Native to FarmTrace
The fuel transaction uses the same operational system and data model as the rest of your FarmTrace records.
Control before dispensing
Permissions, asset identification and allocation rules determine whether diesel is released.
Designed for real fuel infrastructure
Hardware, software and operating workflow meet at the pump, valve and flow meter.
Modular and serviceable
Accessible components support installation, maintenance and component replacement in the field.

For the fuel points your operation relies on.

Ember controls diesel dispensing wherever you need to identify the operator, identify the asset and record the transaction.

01

Farm diesel bowsers

Shared bowsers supplying tractors and field equipment.

02

Packhouse fuel points

Fixed dispensing points for packhouse vehicles and equipment.

03

Generator fuel points

Controlled diesel issues for standby and operating generators.

04

Tractors and farm equipment

Equipment that needs a clear link between operator, asset and fuel issue.

05

Trucks and shared vehicles

Shared fleet fuel points used across drivers and operating teams.

06

Mobile tanks and controlled dispensing points

Diesel points that move with the work but still require a transaction record.

Configured for your fuel setup.

Ember is not plug and play. We assess the site, configure the hardware and Dsync workflow, then commission the fuel point with your team.

01.
Assess the fuel point
Review the tank, pump, flow equipment, connectivity and current process.
02.
Configure Ember
Match the hardware, verification steps and transaction rules to the site.
03.
Install and commission
Integrate Ember with the existing fuel point and confirm the operating workflow.
04.
Support the team
Prepare operators and maintain the installation as the site changes.
