Episode 4 | Economics and Efficiency of Fuel Monitoring
Welcome back to another episode of PetroTalk, where we dive into everything about petroleum. In today’s episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Dale Rhymer, President of AFD. Dale shared valuable insights into AFD’s history, operations, and the significant role SCI’s technology plays in enhancing fuel distribution efficiency.
A Brief History of AFD
AFD is a solutions provider for industrial fuel distribution, servicing Western Canada and Alaska. With over 35 years of experience, AFD has grown from humble beginnings. The company started with a single owner delivering fuel and working with brokers. Over time, it expanded its services to include tank solutions and grew its business model to deliver directly to end users.
How Level Shield Optimizes Fuel Management
Dale Rhymer has been with AFD for over 16 years, starting in 2008. His journey began in the shop, then moved through various roles including safety, transportation, and tank division, before ultimately becoming President in 2020. His extensive experience within the company has given him a unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities within the fuel distribution industry.
Day-to-Day Operations and Mission
As President, Dale’s day-to-day operations focus on ensuring that no customer ever runs out of fuel. This involves maintaining the smooth operation of fuel deliveries and ensuring that customers’ needs are met efficiently. SCI’s technology has been instrumental in achieving this mission by providing real-time monitoring and data-driven insights.
Benefits of SCI's Technology Integration
The integration of SCI’s technology into AFD’s operations has brought about several immediate benefits:
- Efficiency in Fleet Management: By monitoring fuel levels and ensuring trucks carry the maximum amount of product, AFD has improved delivery efficiency, reducing lost miles and unnecessary trips.
- Safety and Accuracy: The use of density sensors and level monitors prevents fuel mix-ups and overfilling, significantly reducing the risk of spills and associated costs.
- Real-Time Data and Customer Experience: SCI’s technology provides real-time data on fuel levels, enabling immediate billing and customer updates. This transparency enhances the customer experience by keeping them informed about fuel deliveries and consumption.
Fuel Management Systems at AFD
AFD employs three different fuel management systems, each tailored to specific needs:
- Light System: Designed for smaller locations and projects, this cost-effective system secures fuel and provides transaction data for smaller tanks.
- Non-Resale Project System: Suitable for larger projects, this system can handle multiple tanks and fueling positions, providing detailed reporting and tank level monitoring.
- Resale System: This system supports numerous meters and payment methods, allowing for resale at the nozzle and providing flexibility for specific projects.
Communication and Monitoring
AFD uses both cellular and satellite communication to ensure reliable monitoring and data transmission, regardless of location. This flexibility allows AFD to maintain efficient operations even in remote areas.
AFD’s commitment to efficiency and customer satisfaction is evident in its adoption of advanced fuel monitoring systems. By leveraging SCI’s technology, AFD ensures that fuel distribution is safe, efficient, and reliable. Dale Rhymer’s extensive experience and leadership continue to drive AFD towards achieving its mission of seamless fuel delivery.
