office applications using conventional memory cards. Commercially
available hardware and software, in combination with a standard PC or
laptop, is used for reading and writing these memory cards. The
MultiFlow Chip-Plus Package is supported by several companies (further
information available on request).
Overview of advantages:
•
Cost-effective, quick connection to office EDP using commercially
available components.
•
Manual data collection is no longer required; errors resulting from
manual input are avoided.
•
Data are automatically sorted with the help of standard software.
Handling of checks and delivery data is made substantially easier.
•
The tank truck driver's burden is reduced because he does not have
to make as many printouts.
•
A running turnover and inventory control (daily reports) is easily
provided for, as the data are available at all times.
•
Invoicing is simplified, as all operating reports are immediately
available at the end of the day. These no longer need to be manually
entered and analyzed.
•
The backup copy of the parameter list on the chip card can be used,
e.g., to reload the parameter list and the delivery voucher definitions
into the MultiFlow after a software update.
