Midstream Oil & Gas Company

 One of the largest independent liquid petroleum product pipeline operators in the U.S. owns and operates a diversified network of integrated assets providing trusted midstream logistic solutions. With a global terminal network composed of more than 100 liquid petroleum terminals, over 7,000 miles of domestic pipelines, and millions of barrels of tank capacity, the company required a reliable solution to help manage the complex distribution of petroleum-based products.

The company deployed and standardized Stratus Edge Computing running terminal automation software across more than 100 sites replacing legacy PCs and technologies, improving operational efficiency with remote monitor and control capabilities, and reducing costly unplanned downtime.
