Loginet & Petra Srl
Petra Srl owns and operates one of Italy’s largest oil depots, handling millions of liters of oil and gasoline and loading hundreds of trucks each day. To enable efficiency for depot operations, Petra runs Nuovo Petrol, a next-generation terminal automation solution from an experienced system integrator, Loginet. This solution controls and monitors all terminal procedures and processes – from access control and weigh stations to deliveries in the bays, and paperwork issuances.
With the Loginet solution and Stratus Edge Computing, Petra automated manual processes and integrated disparate terminal systems to reduce risk, enable real-time data, and centralize visibility of operations. The company reduced depot load times by 33% and has experienced zero downtime in a decade using Stratus Edge Computing.
“Petra hasn’t had an unplanned outage in 10 years. They’ve never experienced any business disruption with Stratus as their foundation. When our customers need that extreme level of reliability, we will continue to rely on Stratus for continuous computing.”
