Loading is fully manual. Drivers record volumes by sight, stick readings, or basic gauges.
Samples tested manually (hydrometer for API, centrifuge for BS&W).
No automated measurement or data capture. Each truck's data is siloed and dependent on driver accuracy.
High risk of errors, exposure to hazards (e.g., climbing tanks, gas exposure).

Accurate barrel count via level gauge or basic flow meter, displayed to drivers in real-time (e.g., digital readout, dashboard).
Reduces manual gauging errors but still requires driver monitoring and calculations.
Initial data capture for volume only; integrates with VeriHaul for basic capture and ticketing.

Coriolis
Inline Coriolis
Sensors (e.g., Coriolis meter) automatically measure and record volume, API gravity (via density), BS&W (via probes or samplers), and temperature at the point of loading.
Data uploaded to VeriHaul ensures verified measurement without manual effort, enabling custody transfer per API 18.2.
Reduces driver exposure to samples/gases.

Inline Coriolis
System provides driver guidance during loading (e.g., app prompts for valve checks), confirms connection integrity (hose sensors), and validates volume/product specs against limits.
Exceptions flagged automatically via VeriHaul (e.g., overfill alerts).
Manual corrections minimal; integrates EPD for controlled pump startup.

Drivers only connect hose/grounding and initiate load.
System manages flow control, data capture, and auto-shutdown sequences (e.g., at max volume).
Loading runs autonomously once connected. VeriHaul handles real-time data and ticketing, minimizing errors/slips/falls.

Full Custody Transfer
Entire load process, connection verification, valve sequencing, pump control (via EPD), sampling/measurement, and custody transfer, is automated.
Human involvement limited to safety verification (e.g., initial grounding) and dispatch approval.
VeriHaul provides process reports on data for optimization.

Robot arms handle physical tasks (hose connection, valve operation).
System fully autonomous, with VeriHaul predicting/optimizing loads based on historical data.
Driver never leaves the cab during loading, if they have to be there at all; remote monitoring only.
Achieves zero human hazard exposure and maximum efficiency.
