WebTTA - Solution for small tank farms

Automation of small tank farms
Tank farms of larger size feature an automation of all processes. Smaller tank farms, however, are often lacking fully automated handling. Especially at small tank farms, the budget for IT resp. automisation is limited. Therefore, the scale of automation is kept at a minimum level to avoid future costs for hardware or software upgrades. In most instances, the staff is primarily specialized in the technology of the tank farm rather than having further knowledge of the commercial operation and IT skills.
