A Single Integration Solution
FuelsManager provides a single solution for all your business functions, allowing you to work with one supplier, one help desk and maintain one server for your entire facility, thereby improving the efficiency and performance of your operations.
Increase system costs dramatically to integrate and maintain multiple computer systems and software applications from different vendors
Difficulty obtaining technical support or coordinating support between multiple suppliers
Limited reporting, as it is difficult compiling information stored in many different databases and data formats
Sacrifice capabilities due to reliance on spreadsheets, custom databases and paper-based processes for many tasks at a terminal facility
Operate out-dated or legacy systems, upgrading one system often exposes incompatibilities with the other systems
Reduce system costs by operating your entire facility on a single server, simplifying information technology security and system maintenance
Immediate technical assistance from systems analysts trained on the entire system, from the gauge to the enterprise interfaces
Eliminate unnecessary paperwork, such as spreadsheets, custom databases and forms by integrating these functions into the system
Increase automation and data accessibility by capturing and storing all transaction and physical inventory data in a single database and a common data format
Continued support with new features through upgrades that are tested and implemented as a single installation for the entire system
Load Rack
Proven Solutions
FuelsManager® Oil & Gas Terminal Automation Edition was implemented at one of the largest and most complicated refinery terminal systems in the United States. This 650 plus acre facility has a capacity of 222,000 barrels per calendar day and requires the integration of pipelines, barge loading, rail rack loading, truck loading, pump and valve control and movement control into one system operating on a single application server. Varec worked with on-site operations to commission the FuelsManager system with zero down-time, while replacing multiple discrete systems and many manual paper and spreadsheet-based processes.
Loading Operations
Varec’s FuelsManager® Oil & Gas Terminal Automation Edition and Driver Entry Terminal are able to interface to entry and exit gates, pre-load stations, weigh scales, load racks, BOL stations or instrumentation, data collection and automation equipment at these control points to enable multiple loading configuration options.
Supporting Your Chosen Solution
The terminal automation solution appropriate for your business operations can be supported via on-site visits, telephone or internet communications. Our technical and application support center provides expert advice and assistance worldwide, 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
