The RCS features OVERSITE™ technology from Franklin Fueling Systems, an advanced device networking platform that enables remote visibility, control, and reset capabilities for fuel systems and other critical C-store equipment that is vital to daily business operations.
Traditionally, fuel system and C-store critical assets have been directly wired to circuit breakers in-line with a fuel panels E-stop control circuit. Interactions with E-Stops and power cycling had to happen physically at the site level with boots on the ground, requiring a service call.
With OVERSITE™, the RCS serves as a central hub that controls and monitors essential site asset power connections and interfaces them through the server/network, enabling remote triggers and device reset capabilities. OVERSITE™ also allows sequencing of power to devices, simplifying the process of restoring power to system components in a predefined order.
“As reported by a top US C-store operator, it is estimated that up to 80% of their on-site service calls for equipment outages simply require a common power cycle to bring their equipment back online. The RCS facilitates remote power cycling to minimize truck rolls and reduce asset downtime.”
Integrating the EVO™ Series enhances OVERSITE™ capabilities with sensor/time-driven event response automation and delivers deeper visibility into site conditions for proactive, more informed responses to site conditions.
Benefits
- Increased uptime – With early notification of power outages, equipment failures, and E-Stop engagements, remote power cycling allows operators to reset assets quickly, avoid the wait for a technician to arrive, and mitigate the impacts of downtime on business.
- Reduced service truck callouts – Remote power cycling can significantly decrease or eliminate the need for service truck rolls, leading to substantial cost savings and faster recovery times.
- Increased efficiency – Improve asset outage troubleshooting, minimize on-site personnel involvement, and allow technicians to focus on planned activities versus unplanned ones. Maximize workforce efficiency and response times with remote power cycling.
- Central monitoring – Monitor site equipment for power-related outages in near real-time with device power status monitoring, outage notifications, and automated response triggers for timely responses to site-specific issues.
