Today, automating fuel data systems is imperative in order to maximize cost savings and improve airline operations. AIRS™ Fuel is an ideal solution for aviation companies dissatisfied with inefficient and inaccurate fuel invoicing that is currently the norm due to the lag time common with non-automated fueling data systems. For aviation companies, many of which incur millions of dollars daily in fuel transactions, AIRS provides a single-box solution that contains everything needed to marry older fuel monitoring technology with mainframe accounting systems to immediately receive fuel data at the time of uplift. AIRS Fuel is an easily adopted system with extremely powerful software and hardware backed by the Cisco brand, and can be operated by any personnel with minimal IT experience.

AIRS Fuel connects into the fuel monitoring system already existing on refueling trucks. AIRS Fuel captures the uplift data and immediately transmits this information over a secure wireless network to the backend accounting system of the airline. Additionally, AIRS Fuel monitors and reports uplift information on other liquids including deicing fluid.

With this data, aviation companies can derive multiple improvements in their fuel operations including:

• IMPROVED ACCOUNTING/AUDITING/REGULATORY ENVIRONMENT: Electronic, real-time transmissions of fuel data can allow quicker invoice reconciliation and auditing through immediately accessible, accurate data for comparison with oil company records.
• COMPLYING WITH EMERGING EMISSIONS REGULATIONS: AIRS also captures fueling variables that are required to calculate emerging CO2 reporting regulations in Europe.
• ENABLING MORE EFFICIENT RISK AND FUEL MANAGEMENT: Real-time data receipt allows for effective inventory control and risk management assessment.
  
• CREATING A MORE SECURE, MORE ACCURATE TRANSACTIONAL ENVIRONMENT: Minimize the possibility of fuel supply theft and fraud and eliminate errors in transferring manual tickets to accounting systems. Machine-to-machine transmission of data significantly reduces both problems by reducing human interaction.
• LOWER OPPORTUNITY COSTS: Many current systems involve manual input of fuel tickets, creating a lag that stretches from 7 to 14 days or more between fuel transaction and processing.
