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.”

Matt Kelly says packaging automation pays back under two years

Matt Kelly says packaging automation pays back under two years

Matt Kelly and Joe Bradley argue brownfield warehouses often speed up picking while leaving packing manual. SupplyChainBrain reported in June 2026 that Kelly said service-model packaging projects can pay back in as little as one month and capital projects in under two years. Sparck's published 3-second boxing benchmark shows why operators still need a workflow-by-workflow comparison.

  • 01SupplyChainBrain reported in June 2026 that Kelly said some service-model packaging projects can pay back in as little as one month and capital projects in under two years.
  • 02Bradley says BoxLast can work from a license plate ID, a unique order identifier, so the machine can print and apply a shipping label without preloading weights and dimensions.
  • 03Sparck benchmarks, up to 20 stations and a box every 3 seconds, illustrate why operators must compare throughput, staffing and machine scope.

For constant plant-floor process streams, a data historian is often a better fit than SQL Server or Oracle

For constant plant-floor process streams, a data historian is often a better fit than SQL Server or Oracle

Precedence Research values industrial IoT at USD 602.87B in 2026 and projects 16.8% CAGR to 2035, adding pressure to handle growing sensor data volumes.

  • 01Precedence Research values the industrial IoT market at USD 602.87 billion in 2026, growing 16.8% a year to 2035, so plant data streams keep getting larger.
  • 02In Schmidt’s example, historians can store a timestamped point when a value changes (skipping repeats), while logging every repeated reading in a relational table can increase storage and slow time-window reports.
  • 03Historians such as AVEVA PI handle capture; CrateDB argues cross-plant analytics often sits beside the historian, and Tiger Data notes teams want SQL/dashboards while generic relational tables can degrade as they grow.

CED: Specify holding brakes where gravity can move a servo axis

CED: Specify holding brakes where gravity can move a servo axis

CED’s Nicholas Rodacz demonstrates spring-set servo holding brakes. Selection requires the correct torque rating and manufacturer instructions; the bench demonstration does not replace a machine risk assessment or establish personnel safety.

  • 01A spring-set holding brake is intended to hold a stationary shaft within its rated torque; it is not automatically a safety brake.
  • 02Gravity and other stored energy should prompt checks of load holding, torque and any required safety measures.
  • 03Use the exact motor specification and manufacturer inspection procedure. Hand-turning a shaft is not a sufficient brake-identification or safety acceptance test.
