Real-Time Monitoring for Proactive Maintenance

The TLS-450PLUS ATG provides continuous visibility into underground storage tanks (USTs), fuel quality, and overall system performance. By monitoring critical parameters in real-time, operators can detect early warning signs of system degradation, allowing them to schedule maintenance before issues lead to serious problems and costly downtime.

• Fuel level monitoring prevents unexpected shortages and ensures optimal stock levels to meet customer demand.
• Water detection alerts operators to potential contamination, protecting dispensers and vehicle engines from water-related damage.
• Temperature-compensated volume readings ensure accurate fuel inventory reporting, even in varying environmental conditions.
• Overfill prevention safeguards against fuel spills by detecting when tanks are nearing capacity and triggering early warnings to prevent costly and hazardous overfills.
• Business Inventory Reconciliation analyses fuel deliveries, dispenses, and tank level measurements to detect discrepancies. This process helps identify potential delivery inconsistencies, the need for meter recalibration, or signs of product loss, allowing operators to take corrective action before slight variances become significant issues.

Advanced Leak Detection & Regulatory Compliance

Europe's stringent environmental regulations prioritise leak prevention for fuel retailers. The TLS-450PLUS excels in this area, providing continuous leak detection capabilities to ensure compliance with EU directives. Static and continuous leak detection quickly identifies breaches in storage tanks and pipelines, while sump monitoring detects water ingress or fuel leaks in containment areas. Automated compliance reporting simplifies audits and ensures that forecourts meet local regulatory requirements. Preventative maintenance powered by the TLS-450PLUS not only helps avoid costly fines but also protects businesses from reputational damage caused by environmental hazards.

Remote Management & Automated Alerts

Modern retailers often operate multiple sites, making it impractical for operators to be physically present at each location. The TLS-450PLUS ATG supports remote monitoring and cloud-based connectivity, allowing maintenance teams to assess system health and react swiftly to issues without being on-site. Remote diagnostics enable technicians to evaluate system status before dispatching service teams, reducing unnecessary callouts. Customisable alert notifications via email inform operators of critical maintenance needs in real time.

Integration with Gilbarco Veeder-Root’s wet stock management solutions ensure a seamless preventative maintenance strategy across multiple locations. Fuel retailers can significantly reduce operational disruptions and maintenance costs by leveraging real-time data, predictive insights, and remote management tools.

Summary

For fuel retailers in Europe, preventative maintenance is no longer optional—it’s a necessity for ensuring business continuity, regulatory compliance, and cost efficiency. The Gilbarco Veeder-Root TLS-450PLUS ATG empowers operators with real-time fuel system monitoring, predictive maintenance capabilities, and remote management tools to prevent failures before they occur. By integrating the TLS-450PLUS into a preventative maintenance strategy, European fuel retailers can reduce unplanned downtime, lower maintenance costs, improve fuel system efficiency, and ensure compliance with strict EU regulations. Investing in advanced ATG technology like the TLS-450PLUS enables fuel retailers to stay ahead of potential issues, ensuring smooth operations while protecting their bottom line.
