A system for controlling selection and distribution of a product in a product dispensing system. The system includes a user interface for prompting a selection and selecting the product, a machine control processor in communication with the user interface, a power distribution module connected to the machine control processor, and a power supply unit for supplying power to the system through the power distribution module.

A filling adapter for a container to be filled with media, in particular for the filling of containers on assembly lines for the production of motor vehicles where the filling adapter is equipped with a hose pack, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic lines. An electronic assembly (ID chip) for a maintenance check is integrated in the adapter head of the filling adapter, which assembly detects the number of use cycles of the filling adapter and compares said number with parameters which can be set in advance in such a way that when said parameters are approached, at least one prior warning is triggered, and when said parameters are reached, an associated controller is informed about the maintenance which is now due.

A system includes a processor configured to wirelessly instruct fuel dispensation initiation over a direct wireless connection between a vehicle and a refueling truck, responsive to a wireless request made by the refueling truck, the request including a valid token and a refueling truck MAC ID with which the wireless connection is established.

A fuel dispensing system includes a fuel tank, a pump that pumps fuel from the fuel tank, and a fuel sentry controlling pumping of the fuel from the fuel tank. The fuel sentry includes a processor, storage storing configuration data, a communication module, and memory operatively coupled to the processor, the storage, and the communication module. The memory includes instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to: receive, from an external device and via the communication module, a request to perform a fuel dispensing operation from the at least one fuel tank, determine, based on the configuration data stored in the storage, whether a user of the external device is authorized to perform the fuel dispensing operation from the at least one fuel tank, and in response to determining that that user is authorized to perform the fuel dispensing operation from the at least one fuel tank, transmit power to the pump from a power source to allow the user to pump fuel.

In general, intelligent fuel dispensers are provided. In at least some implementations, an intelligent fuel dispenser can determine customer identities and/or other characteristics and provide customized fueling sessions based on the determined customer identities and/or other characteristics. In at least some implementations, the fuel dispenser includes a touchless interface allowing customers to complete fueling sessions with minimal physical contact with the fuel dispenser.

Systems and methods for distributing one or more products are described herein. The systems include at least one communication network; a distribution server and a device for refilling a container with the one or more products. The device includes a supply tank configured to retain the one or more products; a sensor configured to detect a level of the one or more products in the supply tank; a device communication interface operable to communicate with the distribution server; and a device processing unit. The device processing unit is operable to: receive a signal from the sensor indicating the level of the one or more products, determine whether the level is below a minimum threshold level; when the level is below the minimum threshold level, generate a request for a distributor to distribute more of the one or more products to the device; and communicate the request to the distribution server.

A tank volume measurement system and method. The tank volume measurement system receives a tank identifier indicating which tank the level sensor is sensing, receives a tank level indication from a level sensor, correlates the tank level to a tank volume using a calibrated strapping chart, and outputs a volume indication to a user.

A machine for replacing used transmission or power steering fluid in a vehicle with new transmission or power steering fluid includes a frame having a housing. The machine includes a pair of service hoses that extend from the machine and connect to the vehicle for placing the machine in the fluid flow. New, used, and axillary fluid tanks are provided. A pump and a manifold are associated with two of the tanks. The pumps provide for the selective withdraw or insertion of fluid into or out of the tanks. A display on the housing presents an operator of the machine with various tasks or options the machine can perform. A processor controls activation of the pumps and other electrical components based on inputs received by the display. Scales are provided under one or more of the tanks for determining the amount of fluid going into and out of the tanks during the exchange process.
