Do-it-yourself field automation sounds great until you realize all the mind-bending decisions involved. I think of this when I go to a favorite restaurant; a fast-casual place where you line up in front of a massive menu board loaded with salads, sandwiches, soups, potatoes, sides of all sorts, and pretty much any other causal type of food you could possibly want or crave, but I have to say their menu is pretty huge.
It’s obvious whenever the person in front of me is a first-timer. Eyes wide, hands shaking, and lips moving without a sound. I can't help but wonder if they're okay or getting ready to have a meltdown from menu overload. Only because I felt that way on my first couple of visits.
After you absorb all that content it's easy to see the big picture and navigating their giant menu is meant to be more of an opportunity to get pretty much anything you may want, not the overwhelming first-timer experience I often witness.
When it comes to getting industrial data you need, want or crave to make your business shine, the menu of automation and data can also be pretty overwhelming too. But we can help you easily get a handle on what is important to your and your goals and align what you need with your return.
We can easily help you know how to navigate the complexities or the industrial automation menu, for pretty much anything kind of data you would like, including tank monitoring, pipeline leaks, compressor status, even make your rod pumps work autonomously; we've worked with it all and can easily support your goals.
We know the secret ingredients of sensors, the special sauce of communication links and the table settings of data storage and reporting. In short, you sit down, tell us what your biggest challenges you face are, maybe some of your goals and targets, and we’ll order for you.
Lots of customers have come to us for that reason. Our experience gets you up and running faster than anyone. That experience also earns us a place as a trusted advisor. We’ve learned, sometimes even the hard way - what works and what to avoid.
You’ve noticed that speed is of the essence today, and we provide that.
With remote tank monitoring you suddenly have the power at your desk or on your smart device. Tank filling up? We can alarm you or your designated people, and we can include the trucking company so they can schedule a pickup. We can set that alarm at, say, 75 percent, and a higher level one at 90 percent. And at, say, 98 percent we can have it shut off the pump, if you want us to install that type of hardware.
Even though we’re doing the ordering for you, we’ll still ask if you want ketchup or extra cheese.
There are also options for video surveillance (you’d be surprised at how much more you’ll learn with eyes on the prize), liquid measurement (how much did the driver pump out?) and so much more—as much control and information as you’re ready for.
The service we provide that backs our technology means you can easily add more controls over time, more tanks as you get them and more controls and assets you decide you're ready to add. You can monitor a new tank, a new well, a new location you bought (we can incorporate existing hardware into our system if there’s already something there). You can make any changes you need with a phone call to our Support team anytime you need help.
So instead of calling vendor after vendor, sorting through catalogues and pairing up software and hardware—you’re making one call and having one meeting. Then in a few days you’re streaming accurate, time and even lifesaving production data into your phone, your computer, your tablet, all while reducing trips to the site, keeping everyone safer and focusing clearer eyes on your data and your business.
Enjoy your data feast.
