Some of these facets include wetstock control, equipment maintenance and management, fleet management and automation, compliance monitoring and environmental sustainability, as well as driving productivity and profitability through innovation.

In addition, the introduction of Gilbarco's clean fuel solution exemplifies the company's commitment to maintaining equipment integrity and performance.

This technology, GVR says, monitors in real-time the status of up to 16 "clean fuels" key performance matrices, thereby ensuring that dirty fuel is flagged and not transferred into mining equipment which would affect engines and injectors and thus lower productivity.

With reconciliations at its core, dataFLEX360 provides solution accuracy on operational data.

Integral to the company's solutions is compliance with Global Industry Standards and environmental stewardship, from leak detection to vapour recovery and clean fuel technologies. Gilbarco's products are designed to ensure compliance and minimise the carbon footprint of mining operations.

Additionally, through the company's innovative telematics technology and the data generated, it can systematically and seamlessly generate South African Revenue Services- (SARS-) compliant fuel rebate reports for any selected tax period.
