Maintaining Multiple Systems
It is not uncommon to see two to three separate
computers at an oil and gas terminal, each
performing a discrete business function,
such as load rack automation, tank gauging
or Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition
(SCADA), leading to increased costs and limited
performance.

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 efciency and performance of
your operations.
Increase system costs dramatically to integrate
and maintain multiple computer systems and
software applications from different vendors
Difculty obtaining technical support or
coordinating support between multiple
suppliers
Limited reporting, as it is difcult compiling
information stored in many different databases
and data formats
Sacrice 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

FuelsManager® Oil & Gas Terminal Automation
Edition was implemented at one of the largest and
most complicated renery 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 manymanual paper and spreadsheet-based processes.
