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.”

Lockheed Martin and Xaba cite 10x gain in robot drilling accuracy with xCognition

Lockheed Martin and Xaba cite 10x gain in robot drilling accuracy with xCognition

Lockheed Martin and Xaba reported that adding Xaba’s xCognition controller to an industrial robot improved drilling accuracy and consistency by 10x. The claim is tied to a two-phase evaluation that included drilling tests on an aluminum plate with specified positional tolerances. The result points to how robotics augmented with xCognition could take on operations typically kept on more expensive and less flexible CNC machines.

  • 01Lockheed Martin and Xaba reported a 10x accuracy-and-consistency improvement tied to a two-phase test that included drilling on an aluminum plate with specified positional tolerances.
  • 02If the goal is moving selected drilling or light machining off CNC, the first gating item is whether the controller enables path-mode accuracy under tolerance, not whether the robot can detect parts.
  • 03Moruzzi’s observation that most AI research emphasis is still on computer vision is a reminder to separate “perception AI” from “process AI” when writing automation requirements and budgets.

FFRA’s California film recycling pilots run through Nov. 30 to track warehouse wrap recovery

FFRA’s California film recycling pilots run through Nov. 30 to track warehouse wrap recovery

The Flexible Film Recycling Alliance has started two commercial plastic film recycling pilots in California, running July 1 through Nov. 30. The programs test two collection models, one using 1-800-GOT-JUNK? routes and one using Shorr Packaging’s warehouse logistics. For operators, the near-term value is a measurable playbook for separating and aggregating clean polyethylene film at scale.

  • 01FFRA’s premise is that commercial polyethylene film is relatively clean and single-material; the pilots test whether collection and aggregation logistics can capture it at scale.
  • 02The pilots’ biggest enterprise signal is standardization: FFRA is using the same Rack n’ Pack collection setup across regions so results can be compared apples-to-apples.
  • 03With recent U.S. film-recycling capacity disruptions cited by Waste360, end-market certainty and contracted offtake terms will matter as much as collection participation.
