KEY BENEFITS OF UPGRADING TO THE TLS-450PLUS AUTOMATIC TANK GAUGE SYSTEM
The fuel industry has seen remarkable technological advancements over the years, and Automatic Tank Gauge (ATG) systems are no exception. The Veeder-Root TLS-350 has been the go-to standard for fuel management systems, but the TLS-450PLUS takes it to the next level of convenience, reliability, and functionality.
Here are some ways your fuel site can benefit from upgrading to the TLS-450PLUS.
Remote Monitoring and Management:
The TLS-450PLUS comes with a wide range of connectivity options that allow you to access and manage critical data easily. Connect anytime, anywhere, with THE PLUS VIEW app, Web-Enabled Interface, and Managed Services, with cloud-based fuel management through Insite360. You can remotely access and configure your tank gauge from your computer, tablet, or cell phone, and get real-time data on your fuel inventories, alarms, and more.
Enhanced Security:
Greater connectivity demands even greater security. The TLS-450PLUS console comes with advanced security features that include strong encryption, configurable user access, and segmented network ports that ensure your network is safe at every level.
Lower Cost of Ownership:
The TLS-450PLUS provides an expanded, advanced feature set at a lower price point than the TLS-350 console. You do not have to replace your probes or sensors, making it even more cost-effective. Also, upgrading automatically extends the warranty of your probes and sensors for the duration of the warranty on your new TLS-450PLUS.
Expanded Capabilities:
The TLS-450PLUS has been designed to be a platform for the future, incorporating frequent software updates, and is expandable as your business grows. It offers features like Digital Pressurized Line Leak Detection (DPLLD), AccuChart™, Business Inventory Reconciliation (BIR), and Centralized Device Management (CDM) that enhance your fuel management capabilities.
Digital Pressurized Line Leak Detection:
The TLS-450PLUS's DPLLD provides advanced line leak detection to meet the capacity of growing fuel sites. It performs a 3.0 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) line leak test following each dispense and can perform 0.2 and/or 0.1 GPH line tests to meet your regulatory needs. This eliminates the need for separate annual line leak testing.
AccuChart:
The third generation AccuChart utilizes enhanced geometric tank chart modeling with optional restricted tank ranges to perform calibration. Inaccurate tank charts affect inventory and delivery data collected and can contribute to masking actual fuel losses. Chart volumes are calculated using adjustable geometry parameters, which results in higher accuracy and speed in the tank chart creation.
Business Inventory Reconciliation:
BIR on the TLS-450PLUS has been enhanced for custom reconciliation needs and meets federal, state, or local requirements. It includes automated reporting on throughput thresholds, delivery thresholds, capacity thresholds, and custom thresholds. This data is then used to reconcile the totals at the end of each shift, day, and month, eliminating human error and reducing labor to reconcile discrepancies.
Centralized Device Management:
CDM is a server-based ATG software package that supports remote operating software upgrades, backups, console snapshot captures, and change management notification for the TLS-450PLUS and TLS4 Series consoles.
The Bottom Line
Upgrading from the TLS-350 to TLS-450PLUS ATG provides numerous benefits that enhance your fuel management capabilities, reduce costs, and increase operational efficiency. With greater connectivity, enhanced security, and advanced features, the TLS-450PLUS is the perfect platform for the future, ensuring that your fuel management system is always up-to-date and ready to meet your business needs.
