1. A system for pumping, tracking and controlling a fluid, the system comprising:
- a pump system for pumping the fluid, the pump comprising;
a motor housing;
a motor located within the motor housing;
a rod connected to and driven by the motor;
a pump driven by the rod for moving a fluid; and
a position sensor for producing a rod position signal that is a function of a position of the rod;
a dispenser for controllably dispensing multiple streams of fluid received from the pump;
a work piece sensor for producing a work piece signal that is a function of detection of a work piece; and
a controller, the controller comprising a calculating circuit and computer readable storage media and configured to;
receive a programmed dispenser output from a user interface,produce a drive signal for driving the motor,produce a dispense signal for the dispenser that is a function of the work piece signal,produce a calculated work piece count as a function of the work piece signal,produce a calculated volume usage as a function of the position signal,produce a calculated flow rate as a function of the calculated volume usage,produce a calculated fluid weight as a function of the calculated volume usage, andproduce a calculated fluid compressibility as a function of the calculated volume usage.

Abstract
A pump system for pumping a fluid includes a motor housing, a motor, a rod, a positive displacement pump, a position sensor, and a controller. The motor is located within the motor housing. The rod is connected to and driven by the motor and the positive displacement pump for moving a fluid is driven by the rod. The position sensor produces a rod position signal that is a function of a position of the rod, and the controller produces a drive signal for driving the motor as a function of the rod position signal.
