See the Robofuel Autonomous refueling system in action
Revolutionize your on-site refueling operations
Robofuel uses a state-of-the-art vision sensing and detection system allowing the robot to locate the position and orientation of the truck's fuel tank. This information is used to couple the fuel nozzle with the tank. Fuel spills are minimized through the controlled coupling and pumping, mitigating the risk of environmental contamination.
Reduce operational costs
Eliminates personnel requirements, such as those stationed on site at fuel stations or mobile equipment and allows the driver or a remote operations center to supervise and confirm activities.
Improve productivity
By reducing time spent traveling to and from fuel stations, Robofuel helps mines keep vehicles productive for longer. The system can support increased material movement or help optimize fleet utilization to meet production targets with fewer vehicles.
Increase safety
Reduces exposure to hydrocarbons and repetitive strain injuries by removing manual nozzle and hose handling. Interactions between personnel and vehicles are minimized, as is exposure to potential tire failures and falling objects.
Flexible to your unique mine needs
May also be utilized for mobile applications including the replenishment of drills and excavators, and in other sectors including road, rail, marine and aviation. Self-contained Robofuel and tank modules are relocatable as the mine workings develop. Robofuel is configurable to suit all commercial fuel nozzles and receivers with no additional equipment required on the vehicle.
Reliable in extreme conditions
Designed for harsh mine sites, Robofuel uses climate control and ingress protection to perform reliably in heat, dust, cold, and wet weather. During the fill cycle, movement detection helps identify unexpected truck movement and retracts the nozzle to protect the refueling process.
