How Veeder-Root FMS Works and What Benefits it Provides

Veeder-Root FMS is a remote monitoring and data collection service that connects trained operational technicians to line and tank monitoring equipment installed at your sites. Using satellite and modem communications with Veeder-Root software, these technicians work around the clock to respond to any alarm events and generate line and tank tests and compliance reports. Their labor, plus all the hardware - including the Veeder-Root gauges, probes and consoles - and even the equipment maintenance can be included in one monthly fee.

	Veeder-Root tank and line monitoring equipment at the gas station automatically transmits site operating data to FMS Monitoring Center based on: * Predetermined schedule to collect data for compliance reports. * On-demand access from a Veeder-Root technician. * Optional information available at site includes inventory/delivery data and Business Inventory Reconciliation (BIR) reports.

	Data travels by satellite or landline communications to the FMS Monitoring Center at Veeder-Root headquarters.

	Data is received and reviewed at the FMS Monitoring Center, where technicians are on duty 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Appropriate action is taken, based on the type of data received, and by customer-specific requirements as detailed in each customer's FMS agreement.

	Veeder-Root generates printed and/or electronic compliance reports for each site, and sends them to the specified location(s). Computer files may optionally be transmitted by modem or satellite.

	Requested data such as inventory level data, tank and line status, or BIR reports, is faxed, mailed or uploaded to the customer.

	Alarm is reviewed, diagnostically confirmed, and acted upon. Responses can include: * Informing customer of low-level tank condition. * Informing customer of potentially slow or contained leak. * Shut down pumps and dispatch service contractor immediately for serious leak condition.
