What is the input flow report?
- Clear start and end points for each flow event.
- Exact volume per transaction.
- Accurate timing and location for every transfer.
- A clean audit trail.
Where can you use the input flow report?
- Fuel bowsers and tanker trucks moving across rural or off-road environments.
- Depot or on-site storage tanks that regularly dispense fuel or water.
- Agricultural vehicles handling irrigation water, fertilizer, or chemical mixes.
- Marine vessels, from cruise ships to cargo carriers and large tankers.
How the input flow report supports anti-theft efforts
- Increases accountability. If a transaction looks suspicious, you’ll have a defensible record to refer back to that includes the relevant driver’s details.
- Highlights unusual patterns. Because every transaction is individually measured, you can detect unusually high volume in a single event, suspicious patterns (frequent small “test” siphons), transactions too close together to be legitimate, or anomalies compared to historical averages.
- Eliminates manual logging - a major theft loophole. The input flow report removes the hassle of handwritten logs and manual dip readings, both of which are prone to manipulation.

FAQs
Does this report and a pulse sensor replace a fuel-level sensor?
No. A fuel-level sensor measures how much liquid is inside a tank. A pulse sensor measures how much liquid moves through a pipe or hose. The input flow report uses the second type: movement, not storage.
Does the driver or operator need to do anything during dispensing?
No. The system detects flow automatically and logs the event without requiring user input. Users will just need to generate the report from within the reporting module.
Does this work for multi-tank or compound-sensor setups?
Yes. As long as each sensor is connected correctly, the report will show transaction-level events per sensor.
