• Liquid level measurement

• Hydrostatic measurement of liquids in pressurised
or non-pressurised vessels.
• Advantages:
– Indifference to changing dielectric values
– Foaming or mixers do not have an effect
– High pressure ratings up to 160 bar
– Temperature range up to +450 °C

Security control to entry to the loading area
Registration
Security has become an re important issue with
modern terminal. Entrance
A key factor to high security is the automatic and
fail-save recognition of trucks and drivers at the
entrance of the terminal.
•Biometric identification (fingerprint orhandscan)
for the truck drivers
•Video identification for the license plate of the
trucks
•Identification data will be available at the bay in
the operator terminal at the moment of the
loading completed with the data of the loading
booked.
TAS_Application

Main activities at the arrival of the truck:

Booking Security control to entry to the loading area
Registration
Entrance
The driver identifies himself by putting his finger
on a fingerprint scanner at the entrance or with
the personal badge

The fingerprint ID data are also stored on the

RFID card that he holds to the Terminal at the
bay.

When both data match, his RFID card is

uniquely associated to the driver and he gets
access to the terminal. Alternatevely also a hand
scanner can be used for this security check.

Main activities at the arrival of the truck:

Booking Security control to entry to the loading area
Registration
Entrance
Truck license plate recognition can be carry out
by using latest video recognition technology.

With a infrared camera the security module

identifies the license plate of trucks from the
front as well as from the rear.

The identified data are transferred to the TAS

data base for fully automatic access control of
the vehicles in the in the terminal.
