- Dover Fueling Solutions® invests in UVC technology to help prevent COVID-19 spread
DUNDEE, SCOTLAND – October 5, 2020 – Dover Fueling Solutions® ("DFS") a part of Dover Corporation that delivers advanced fuel dispensing equipment, electronic systems and payment, fleet systems, automatic tank gauging, and wetstock management, is pleased to announce that it has recently taken delivery of a THOR UVC® disinfecting robot in a bid to help prevent and control the spread of coronavirus infection at its facility in Dundee. The UVC device was delivered on 3rd September and is currently undergoing comprehensive trials to establish the best possible practice to be adopted for site disinfection and sanitisation. The safety, health and wellbeing of its employees is of paramount importance to DFS. When COVID-19 first forced the UK into lockdown, the Scottish government classified DFS Dundee as an essential business and therefore required the facility to reopen and provide support to other essential services and key workers. Since then, DFS has been working hard to implement the strictest health and safety procedures to protect its people. Enhanced safety protocols have been in place since production staff returned to work on 31 March, 2020. Among these ongoing measures are enhanced sanitisation practices, one-way employee foot traffic, regular “fogging” procedures to desinfect the entire site, and strict social distancing rules above and beyond what is recommended by the government. The introduction of UVC robotics takes the company a step further in its efforts to enhance the protection of its employees. UVC robotics takes cleaning and sanitisation at DFS Dundee to the next level. Focusing on autonomous operation, the machine will allow the company to ensure that disinfection processes within the premises are thorough and consistent, and existing manual resources are well allocated. The device is also readily portable, meaning that it can be utilised in all areas of the facility. "THOR UVC® is the very latest high-powered disinfection robot, that can work fully autonomously around public spaces,” said Annette Crowe, Sales and Marketing Director at Finsen Tech, the manufacturer of the device. “It uses shortwave ultraviolet-C light technology, which is proven to kill a large variety of common surface and airborne pathogens, including coronavirus. UVC disinfection is clinically proven, reaches floor to ceiling and is significantly more efficient than manual cleaning. The latest generation robot, acquired by DFS, generates more power than preceding UVC technologies, which is helpful in killing the new strains of viruses.” Mark Husband, EMEA EHS Manager at DFS noted, “We are fully committed to protecting our staff’s health, safety and wellbeing and have invested significantly in keeping the factory COVID-safe over the recent months. To get the highest level of protection from the spread of the virus, we are always looking for ways to work smarter and obtain the most cutting-edge solutions available to automate our sanitisation process. Our extensive research indicated that the technology behind the THOR UVC® robot is at the forefront of the coronavirus fight and widely used in medical settings and test centres . At the moment, we are trialling the device and fine-tuning our internal processes. We are on-track to roll out the facility-wide UVC disinfection in the next couple of weeks.”
- DFS' Wayne EMV Protocol Selected by Conexxus as Outdoor Payment Terminal Industry Standard
AUSTIN, TEXAS – NOVEMBER 24, 2020 - Dover Fueling Solutions® (DFS), part of Dover Corporation and a leading global provider of advanced customer-focused technologies, services and solutions in the fuel and convenience retail industries, is pleased to announce its Wayne® EMV® protocol specification has been approved by the Conexxus Forecourt Payment Terminal Group to serve as the forecourt outdoor payment terminal (OPT) industry standard. The effort highlights the DFS and Conexxus collaboration to drive standards and innovation for the convenience and petroleum market. Conexxus is a non-profit, member-driven technology organization dedicated to the development and implementation of standards, technologies innovation and advocacy for the convenience store and petroleum market. The mission of the Conexxus Forecourt Payment Terminal Group is to develop and adopt standards to facilitate the integration of payment terminals on the forecourt. The adoption of the Wayne protocol marks Conexxus’ first standard protocol publication for OPTs within the industry. This is groundbreaking in an area that traditionally has utilized device-specific and supplier-specific specifications, which makes device interoperability at retail locations much more difficult to achieve. “The released Conexxus forecourt OPT standard is a clear example of how the industry can come together to quickly solve industry issues, through contributing the base data standards as Dover Fueling Solutions has done, and Conexxus working groups dedicated to getting these enabling standards in the field,” said Conexxus Executive Director Gray Taylor. “Retailers and their vendor-partners quickly came together to solve an issue keeping the industry from EMV compliance, and achieved this before the EMV deadlines of this coming April.” “We believe having a Conexxus standard for outdoor EMV payments will facilitate integrations and certifications to meet the upcoming liability shift,” stated DFS Vice President of Global Key Accounts and Marketing Brad Schumacher. “Many point-of-sale systems and electronic payment servers have already integrated the Wayne protocol, so it is a logical process for Conexxus to use it to create the initial standard, as well as enhancements to meet future needs, such as point-to-point encryption.” The Wayne® brand has been an industry leader in forecourt outdoor payment products and solutions for over 50 years and became part of Dover Fueling Solutions® in 2016 through acquisition. The official release of the Wayne EMV protocol specification defines the XML protocol for control of fuel island payment devices; pump-integrated or as a stand-alone. The standard includes the ability to manage magnetic stripe, EMV and NFC transactions, and control the consumer interface.
