GRINDSTED, DENMARK / ACCESSWIRE / December 19, 2022 / Denmark-based robotic refueling system, Autofuel, seeks to make refueling at gas stations more convenient and safe for both customers and gas stations. The company aims to reduce the potential exposure to harmful chemicals and fuel components at stations. Long-term occupational exposure to various fuel types and constituents, such as tetraethyl lead, gasoline constituents, and oxygenates at gas stations, has hematological and physiological consequences. It adversely affects the mental and physical health of the workers at the station. The robotic refueling system developed by Autofuel provides a solution by replacing human labor with a robotic system.
"Besides fuel vapors, safety can have another aspect like being present at the gas station at night in a high-risk environment. From our dialogue with larger energy companies, we are aware that fuel sales in some areas are decreasing at night due to people feeling unsafe. With our robotic refueling system, you can stay in your vehicle behind locked doors during the entire process," says Jonas Thor Olsen, partner and CEO of Autofuel.
Identifying comfort and convenience as the critical parameters of competition in today's energy retail market, Autofuel developed a unique robotic technology in order to provide an automated, hassle-free refueling system at gas stations. Through its proprietary technology, it offers a safe and secure refueling procedure by eliminating customers' involvement in the process. Which in turn reduces fuel spills, eliminates the chances of picking the wrong fuel type and allows the customer more personal time.
"Our technology intends to provide the customers with maximum comfort and safety at gas stations. Manual refueling demands the driver's attention or direct involvement for at least as long as the car is refueled. The Autofuel system requires no human involvement. It allows them to go to the shop for a coffee or take a short break while the car is refueled.", says Jonas Thor Olsen, partner and CEO of Autofuel.
The robotic refueling system gives more time to the customer. The automated refueling process allows them to stay in the car for a short break while the robotic system refills their vehicle, with the intention of providing a convenient, seamless experience during bad weather. It provides disabled people with an easier and more convenient alternative to refueling their car, which often is a challenge if there is no one to assist them. Apart from the convenience aspect of it, Autofuel also ensures significant safety and security elements, both for the customers and workers at the station.
Commenting on the financial aspect of the system, Jonas Thor Olsen, partner and CEO of Autofuel, says, "Our system provides more time at the gas stations that enables the service providers to offer other services to the customers. It prevents fuel theft or misuse of company cards and ensures better fuel consumption control for companies with fleet cars. Using our system results in faster traffic flow, which in turn provides higher revenue for gas stations."
