SMART ELBOW, which is one of the recent patented innovative solutions of the company under its MEPSENSE brand was the most interesting technological solutions of the event. It is an innovative product to eliminate basically the cross-fillings between gasoline and diesel into the storage tanks at the refueling stations. Different from the other solutions provided in the market, SMART ELBOW totally fulfills the expectations and promise more in terms of flexible usage thanks to its stationary and portable options which is not available in any other solution in the market, complete security by its multiple-authorisation scenerio management, comprehensive monitoring of fuels quality and filling operations by mobile apps, full efficiency by its complete prevention system against the mix of gasoline and diesel in the tank and capability of a wide range of customisation options according to the different field requirements. "This smart solution is not only for the elimination of cross-fillings" says Mr. Melih Ozparlak, Regional Manager of Europe and adds "This patented innovative product will be a gateway of filling operations, one of the most ignored field in terms of technology utilisation upto now, to the rest of the systems used on the forecourts such as tank gauging and even fuel stock management systems. Because the solution itself creates data from the filling operations, this data will be able to be integrated into such systems for cross-checks of some inputs such as time, date, fuel quality, temprature and many others. This one, the visitors experienced in UNITI 2018, was the first generation that is promising all above. However, the next generation is on the way with volume measurement and fully integrated with STAWIZ ATG System of MEPSAN" Mr. Ozparlak concludes.

Mr. Alper Uysaler, Automations Product Manager, says "STAWIZ Fuel Management System and its modules such as ATG, VIS and CIS is one of the most comprehensive central online management system all over the market. We have been integrating our automation modules into our industrial fleet dispensers and providing them as a plug & play complete package under the name SMARTLINE All-In-One Fleet and Fuel Management System to the clients who are operating in the commercial segment as well as in the retail market who are willing to get cost optimization on their forecourts with fully-self-automated dispensers" and he concludes "Moreover, we have intorduced our self-service payment devices on our dispensers with a different approach to self-service operations.
