Benefits

Reduce fuel operating costs, control inventory, improve asset performance, detect leaks and spills, control fuel procurement, prevent unauthorised losses, improve accounting procedures and minimise human error.

LAS provide a single point of responsibility from initial site survey to the analysis and design, manufacturing, installation, training and commissioning of a turn key solution.

Fuels and lubricants are major cost components in operating a fleet of vehicles, heavy construction and mining equipment and specialised mobile machinery.
LAS supplies solutions intergrating automated inventory receipt, handling, storage and dispensing into a comprehensive Fluid Management System utilising cutting edge wireless RF technology.

The LAS fuel management solution is a fully intergrated suite of products consisting of Autofuel, Optilevel and PetroPoint. By combining these products with Opti-MIM, LAS is able to engineer an all-encompassing fuel management system.

Mining Solutions

The fuel management solution is designed for use on primary equipment (large haul trucks track and wheel dozers) and secondary items (forklifts cranes and light vehicles). Wireless technology using RFID transponders has proven to be the most robust and reliable solution in the harsh operating conditions found on these mines.

Opti-MIM Fluid Accounting Software integrates systems from multiple suppliers into a single solution.

Commercial Solutions

The automatic capturing of odometer readings with every refuelling activity is essential to prevent fuel fraud.
The patented and unique wireless LAS solution drastically reduces site and vehicle installation costs.

Only LAS offers a complete solution that integrates vehicle odometer, fuel dispensing and storage tank inventory into one package. The open architecture of the Opti-MIM Fluid Accounting Package allows integration into host software.

Government Fleet Solutions

Fuel dispensing in large government fleets is normally distributed over a large geographic area.
LAS solution allows government transport departments to centralise the monitoring and control of fuel stock. Dispensed volumes can be allocated to departments/ministries with daily cost allocations.
Government refuelling sites are able to run unmanned for 24 hours a day, without compromising security.

Comprehensive Fluid Management

Innovative Solutions

LAS's success is based on initiatives and innovation specifically targeting developing markets. By combining its experience and expertise with that of its partners around the globe LAS's multi-disciplinary engineering and IT resources are at its customer's disposal.

Exceptional Support

Customer care extends well beyond the successful implementation of a solution or the sale of a product. Total service and support capabilities are available throughout the region on a 24/7 basis, using LAS's in-house help desk and support offices in all major centres.

Accurate Measurement Instruments

At the heart of every business system lies transaction data and inventory reports that rely on accurate measurements from instruments that need to be verified at regular intervals using traceable standards and quality systems.

These instruments are provided for a wide range of applications at refineries bulk storage terminals, on bulk delivery vehicles and other mobile equipment, as well as at retail service stations, remote consumer sites and airports.

Accurate Fluid Accounting

In today's highly competitive business environment, access to accurate and reliable information is essential. Data produced by field instruments should be accessible to management and staff on an enterprise-wide basis. LAS's IT products are based on standard open architecture and include seamless interfaces to high-level ERP systems. LAS can assume the responsibility for collecting remote data and providing meaningful and relevant management information.
With the ever increasing cost of fuels and lubricants accurate and traceable results can save stakeholders vast sums of money.
