Systems and techniques for increasing the efficiency of a process of providing a resource by a resource provider are disclosed. In one example, a method detects a presence of a vehicle at a fuel dispenser, transmits an authorization request message automatically in response to detecting the presence of the vehicle, and automatically allows the fuel dispenser to dispense fuel to the vehicle.

A method for supplying a mobile usage unit with a consumable delivered by a movable delivery connection of a maintenance station to a supply inlet of the mobile usage unit includes identifying via a sensor system a supply inlet of the mobile usage unit, the sensor system providing data to a control unit, fluidly connecting via the control unit the delivery connection to the identified supply inlet, delivering via the control unit the consumable to the supply inlet, and after the delivery of the consumable has terminated, fluidly separating via the control unit the delivery connection from the supply inlet.

A transaction appliance is located within a retail fueling station environment. Presence of a consumer vehicle at a fuel dispenser is detected and the transaction appliance transmits a transaction trigger to a transaction server located remotely outside the retail fueling station environment. The transaction server responsively invokes personalized consumer data associated with the transaction trigger including advertising and promotions for purchasing products and services from a vendor. The personalized transaction data is provided to the consumer by way of the transaction appliance and a fuel dispenser user interface during the time the consumer is dispensing fuel.

An intelligent, automated system for loading agricultural product application equipment is provided in which a control system can determine a necessary amount of product for completing a field operation and can automatically couple with a tendering system to receive such product at an optimal time and location. The control system can determine a current amount of product, a projected amount of product necessary to complete a field operation and a refill amount of product from the current amount and the projected amount, then transmit the refill amount to the tender. The control system can further determine whether a position of the equipment relative to the tender is within a threshold, and whether an intake coupler of the equipment is connected to a supply coupler of the tender, and can control valve(s) to open and close channel(s) for loading fluid into the storage tank.

An autonomous fueling system to dispense fuel to a vehicle. The system may include a fuel dispenser configured to autonomously deliver fuel to a vehicle. A server may monitor the fueling event. The system may also include a user device configured to communicate with the fuel dispenser and/or the server to order the fuel. The dispenser may be configured to autonomously insert a nozzle into the fuel system of the vehicle and deliver the fuel.
