Pinpad terminal is a passive device and is to be used together with a control system for petrol station (for example a POS system or forecourt controller), which give the following advantages compared to “traditional” way of petrol station operation, equipped only with POS system:
- decreasing of time on customer service due to remote identification and automated processing of requests on fuel dispensing
- simplification of settlements between petrol station and corporate customers using fuel cards
- reinforcement of fuel consumption control by corporate customers, exclusion of misuse possibilities
Pinpad terminal can be configured to service all fuel dispensers or any particular fuel dispenser. Sequence of customer servicing by Terminal (operation algorithm) is programmed inside the control system, which is responsible for management over the information indicated by the Terminal and its actions.
Pinpad terminal serves as a network device having a unique IP-address within the network. Power of separate transceiver is not more than 10 W, which in most cases allows to apply the terminal without necessity to get any licenses. Communication with Pinpad terminal is encrypted and protected from unauthorized using a standard encryption-decryption method.
Besides petrol station the Pinpad terminal can be applied for provision of wireless identification of fuel attendants or corporate customers on other industrial, trade or transport sights.
