Direct Fuels, an independent regional fuel distributor and specialty product refiner, has implemented DTN Guardian3 (DTN G3) terminal automation system at its new ethanol storage terminal in Euless TX. Direct Fuels can now securely manage the facility, while supporting its customers' specific needs for ethanol inventory movement information.
In addition to secure card-in gate access, DTN G3 also delivers real-time inventory updates and robust reporting tools. Activity reports help Direct Fuels meet its customers' inventory management and accounting needs, along with rapid data analysis and advanced filtering and reporting capabilities. Key reports can be automatically generated and e-mailed on a regular basis, so customers can easily keep track of inventory throughput in their requested DTN format.
Using DTN G3, trucks can load faster, while dramatically improving terminal efficiency and reducing costs. DTN G3 is a modular set of systems that can be easily adapted to present infrastructure; and it's backed by DTN experts who will ensure the system is properly installed and supported. Leveraging a user-friendly Windows-based interface minimizes operator training, and the open system allows for easy compatibility with existing or future software systems. Communication support is available for an array of rack devices.
