From convenience store chains to fleets, companies in this industry deploy a wide range of specialized projects, software, and operations to ensure success. Titan Cloud’s Chief Revenue Officer, John Donnelly, gathered a panel of Titan Cloud experts and industry professionals from the c-store and fueling sectors to dive into the enterprise support needed to make a business successful.

Jennifer Wehner, Director of Thorntons, a convenience store chain with more than 190 locations across Kentucky, Ohio, and Illinois, and Niall Gillen, Director of Operations at Propel Fuels, joined Titan Cloud’s Jon Marinas, Senior Vice President of Compliance Solutions, and Eric Nordstrom, Senior Director of Platinum Support, for this timely Tank Talk.

“At Titan, we’ve always taken the approach that our customers might need that little extra touch when it comes to operational compliance management,” Marinas said. “Therefore, we do help our customers uncover those gaps, and, when we uncover those gaps, it develops a unique scope of work for our customers.”

No matter the situation, Marinas said he and his team are happy to customize a plan to figure out what type of platinum support a customer requires. “Whether it’s something as small as a one-time gap analysis or full-on support, my team acts as a branch of the compliance department for that environmental team for that customer.”

One example of Titan Cloud working with customers to improve compliance is with Thorntons and their dispenser flow rates.

“What we’ve done is we’ve worked on the ability to try and connect to their facilities and have their back-office system connect to their automatic tank gauge,” Marinas said. They are currently in the demo phase of this process.

“Our biggest opportunity was with alarm management,” Wehner said. “Before coming to Titan, we relied on our store staff to call into our help desk to report alarms. With employee turnover and the challenges of getting folks properly trained, we found that many of the alarms were simply not being reported in a timely manner. Having Titan monitor those alarms provides immediate assurance that all those alarms are being responded to.”

Aligned plans Ohio AI campus next to retired Conesville power plant, with first capacity targeted mid-2026

Aligned plans Ohio AI campus next to retired Conesville power plant, with first capacity targeted mid-2026

Aligned Data Centers plans a 197-acre, multi-building AI data center campus in Ohio’s Conesville Industrial Park, adjacent to the former AEP Conesville Power Plant. GlobeNewswire says initial capacity is targeted for mid-2026 and that the first data center has a foundational customer.

  • 01GlobeNewswire says Aligned is targeting initial capacity delivery in mid-2026 for the Conesville campus.
  • 02The Conesville siting, next to the retired AEP Conesville Power Plant, is a concrete example of an AI campus placed on a power-adjacent brownfield industrial parcel.

A Micro LED chipmaker just raised nearly 100 million RMB, and lighting specs are getting stricter

A Micro LED chipmaker just raised nearly 100 million RMB, and lighting specs are getting stricter

VIJO (Suzhou) Optoelectronics Technology completed a financing round of nearly 100 million RMB to scale Micro LED optical chip production, according to LEDinside. In parallel, commercial lighting discussions are shifting from LED lifespan to intelligent drivers and smart control integration, as described in a sponsored Electronic Design QuickChat featuring Jameco Electronics and Mean Well USA. A Design World teardown of five 60 W-equivalent LED bulbs shows why operators can’t treat “LED replacement lamps” as interchangeable, with big differences in heat sinking, wiring, and driver topology that directly affect lumen maintenance, dimming, and serviceability.

  • 01Micro LED capacity is being financed now, which matters most for operators writing multi-year display and specialty lighting roadmaps, where qualified supply can become the schedule.
  • 02The teardown signal to carry into procurement is simple: two bulbs can share the same “60 W-equivalent” label while hiding completely different thermal and driver designs, and those differences are what drive field performance.
  • 03Controls and drivers are becoming the spec, not the chip. For projects that must integrate sensors or wireless controls, driver feature sets and thermal derating behavior belong in the submittal checklist.
