Helix 5000: the petrol pump with an anti-fraud system

This regulation requires the use of a digital signature to prevent fraud, such as the famous low pump case, in which the volume of fuel supplied is less than that indicated on the display. The innovative technology of this fuel pump is remarkable. With each use, the Helix 5000 generates an encrypted digital signature, guaranteeing the security and transparency of the supply.

All necessary information, both for consumers and for inspectors, can be easily accessed through the connection

bluetoothon mobile devices such as cell phones. Users can obtain accurate data, such as the amount of fuel filled and maintenance history.

Currently, Dover Fueling Solutions is the only company to offer fuel pumps in accordance with Inmetro's RTM, according to information from Brasil Postos. In addition to the renowned Helix line, the company also presents its Global brand, which offers devices with different capabilities and advanced technologies, such as greater work autonomy.

But, after all, what is Inmetro's RTM?

RTM means “Technical Metrological Regulation” and is a standard established by the National Institute of Metrology, Quality and Technology – Inmetro in Brazil. The RTM defines the technical regulations and requirements that must be followed by companies and manufacturers of equipment that carry out measurements, such as fuel pumps. The purpose of the RTM is to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of the measurements carried out, protecting consumer rights and preventing fraud.

In the specific case of fuel pumps, RTM requires the implementation of technologies, such as digital signature, to avoid fraud, such as the low pump, in which the amount of fuel delivered is less than that indicated on the display of the bomb.

With the successful introduction of the Helix 5000, it is expected that more smart meter fuel pumps will be installed at stations throughout Brazil in the near future. Dover Fueling Solutions continues to innovate and provide advanced technological solutions for the fuel industry, contributing to safer, more transparent and reliable fueling.
