Veeder-Root launched its new flagship product last November, the TLS-450 Automatic Tank Gauge.

The TLS-450 seeks to become the new standard in tank monitoring systems. The TLS-450 offers retail petroleum site owners automated compliance and site management so they are always inspector-ready, they always know their business status, and they are always in control of their fueling operation.

The TLS-450 can store up to three years of compliance data within the console and its enhanced display allows users to provide compliance reports that meet all regulatory requirements at the touch of a button. Station owners can improve the way they manage compliance with the TLS-450 and decrease the chances of being hit with fines or shutdowns. Line and tank tests can be scheduled automatically so that no test is ever missed and the information
will always be at the station owner’s disposal.

The TLS-450 can also improve the way a station owner manages their operation, both on and off site. The TLS-450 Direct Access™ Software allows individuals to monitor the activity on their site twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week via any web browser on a PC.

This feature allows station owners to check inventory levels and alarm histories among other things by providing the same display locally and remotely. Contractors can perform remote diagnostics on the console in order to more efficiently resolve alarms at the site.

Kevin Danby owns a site in Meriden, CT and he supplies fuel to a few other local operations. He utilizes the email notification feature of the TLS-450 to know what his inventory level is at his station before he leaves his house every morning. Because he has such increased visibility to his inventory, Kevin is able to more effectively schedule deliveries to avoid rush charges. And since he also knows how much fuel should be dispensed, he can use this added visibility to see how he needs to respond to the pricing environment. Based on the level of dispensing activity, he can either raise or lower his prices accordingly.

“[With the TLS-450], we can monitor our sales, we can monitor what’s in the ground, when we need to order product. If we see on the first shift there’s been a low volume, it may prompt us to lower our prices and be more competitive in the neighborhood.”

A variety of customizable options for access, control and data storage lets owners tailor the TLS-450 to fit the unique requirements of their operations.
