Measure and Automate Bulk Fuel Storage At Tank Farms and Military Fuel Points

A Window on Your FacilityFMD’s tank displays provide inventory management information relating to a single tank, such as measured data collected from tank gauges; calculated information; level and overfill alarm settings; and tank status. Tank Group displays aggregate data relating to multiple tanks to provide clear, concise overviews for groups of tanks or for your entire facility.

Alarm and Event ManagementUnlike a general SCADA system, FMD provides preconfigured alarm settings for each tank; all you need to do is enable them to start monitoring your facility. FuelsManager can integrate with, and notify other systems (PLC or DCS) of events, so that the other systems may take appropriate control and automation actions. Alarms can be shown on SCADA and tank displays using graphics and animations. The system supports up to 32 alarm groups and four alarm priorities, each with its own color and audible attributes.
