Palm Oil Diesel Tracking

Control starts at the dispensing point

For a palm oil plantation, diesel is an operating resource that needs to be both available and accountable. Knowing the level in a tank is only part of the picture. The more useful questions are who drew fuel, how much they were allowed to take, and whether a transaction needs attention.

This project brings those questions into a connected dispensing and monitoring system. Its focus is on controls at the point of use, supported by the information teams need to review activity remotely.

From observation to controlled access

A monitoring-only approach can flag a loss after fuel has already left the tank. The system pairs that visibility with operator authentication and dispensing quotas, making permission and volume part of the transaction itself.

NFC/RFID identification links dispensing to an operator. Pump control applies the configured quota, while the touchscreen gives the operator a clear view of the active session. These functions connect the physical dispensing equipment with the software record.

Designed for the field and the office

The field interface and the remote dashboard serve different jobs. Operators need to authenticate and dispense fuel; supervisors need to review consumption, manage access, and investigate unusual activity. The system connects these workflows without asking every user to work from the same screen.

Offline-capable operation also matters at the dispensing point. Transactions are stored locally when connectivity drops and synchronized when it returns, so the record can catch up with work in the field.

A connected record of fuel use

The solution combines IoT hardware, quota-based dispensing, cloud analytics, and anomaly detection. Together, they provide a way to trace fuel transactions and bring exceptions to the team's attention, rather than relying on tank levels alone.

The aim is practical accountability: clearer records for review, controlled dispensing for operators, and remote oversight for the people responsible for fuel use.
