    DRB SiteWatch issue

    The issue was employee pocketing cash and assigning the wash to any unlimited account by using a look up function on the attendant terminal. With the help of DRB we removed that look up function from the attendant terminal.. Also if there is an actual problem with reading a bar code then the...

    First of the month events

    I don't believe that is how it works. In Illinois "food stamps" are actually a debit card and any amount within the balance of that debit card is paid for groceries. There are exclusions for instance alcoholic beverages can't be purchased with the card and there are other items not permitted to...

    DRB SiteWatch issue

    I have a question about DRB SiteWatch. I have a customer who says that his attendant can take a full price cash payment from a customer and then assign the wash to another customers prepaid monthly pass and the attendant then pockets the money. The customer said he called DRB about this and they...

    Has anyone converted their long IBA to a mini tunnel?

    And still the biggest difficulty is customer self loading onto a conveyor. If you do not have an attendant full time the potential for more volume than an IBA is lost. And many of these fuel sites that try this have very compressed layouts making just getting into the carwash entrance tough for...

    Has anyone converted their long IBA to a mini tunnel?

    Do you have direct knowledge about the volume of car washes at these unattended tunnels? Also do you service any of them or operate one?

    Has anyone converted their long IBA to a mini tunnel?

    I am actually trying to convince some mini tunnels to convert to IBA's. If you do not dedicate an attendant to any tunnel, getting customers to load themselves onto a conveyor is very inconsistent and often people get stuck due to not understanding how to properly load. Full time carwash...

    Need a PLC

    A quick yellow pad calculation I get 22 relays are needed to do this the relay way. A 24 IO Smart Relay can do this for about the same amount of money as 22 relays and sockets but a simpler task to assemble and wire IM not so HO. :cool:

    Need a PLC

    If your existing bay sign relays are double pole then the connections to the Floyd unit would be much easier. Different combinations of inputs can give you up to 16 messages from that unit I see. I still really believe a PLC is the best way to do this project.
