Age of Electronics

• As our world continues to shrink our need to keep
  control dramatically increases.
• The need to collect useful information is
  anywhere there are intelligent devices.

• Convenience Stores
• Grocery Stores
• Gas Stations

• Industrial applications
• Process controls
• Manufacturing facilities

• The list goes on and on!

3
Intelligent Devices

• Powerful Computer-based circuitry has been
  incorporated into almost every device around us.
• Today all these systems contain valuable
  information.
• In almost every case these systems are designed
  with some way to communicate this important data
  to us.
• Proper utilization of this information can save
  us time and money.
• Whats the problem?
• Getting access to the data can be next to
  IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!

Convenience Store Example
Lets list the intelligent devices

• Gas Pumps
• Alarm systems
• Video surveillance systems
• Cathodic Protection devices
• Refrigeration systems

• POS ( Point of Sale)
• Car Wash machines
• Fuel Tank Monitor
• Lottery machines
• Money Order machines

5
Information Utilization Example
What would we do with the information if we could
get it?

• Gas Pumps
• Product Reconciliation
• Fuel ordering/dispatching
• Regulatory leak detection requirements

• Refrigeration Systems
• Regulatory documentation
• Alarm notification preventing inventory loss

6
Remote Data Collection

• What devices are typically monitored at the
  C-Store?
• POS
• Accounting for money
• Dry goods reconciliation
• Fuel Tank Monitor
• Regulatory requirements
• Fuel reordering
• Lower Environmental risk
• Only 2? Why?
• Communicating with any of these systems is
  extremely difficult and costly.

Todays Approach

• Polling technology is where a host computer makes
  an outward connection to many locations to
  collect data.
• Typically, communication is accomplished with
  device specific software designed by its
  manufacturer.
• The more devices the more software you need to
  purchase.
• Software proficiency requires a devoted employee.
• Polling with a dedicated PC utilizing a modem and
  a telephone line works for small number of
  devices or locations.
• A networked PC utilizing a bank of modems and
  multiple phone lines is necessary for several
  devices or locations.

Polling Technology Drawbacks

• Device specific polling software is expensive.
• Modems are problematic when using polling
  software.
• Long distance charges can add up fast.
• Communications logistics are difficult to master.
• Availability of Real-time data is nearly
  impossible.

11
Polling Technology Drawbacks

• More devices or sites means
• More PCs
• More modems
• More operators
• More polling software
• More phone lines
• More maintenance
• More expense!

NETDataPump Solution

• The NETDataPump is a solution designed to enable
  site owners/operators to collect and manage their
  own data.
• Customers own the data.
• No R.M.R (Reoccurring Monthly Revenue)
• Average three tank site cost on RMR 35-55/Tank
  per Month.
• Average annual costs 1260-1980 depending on
  features and information offered.
• DNET 1-Time fee.
• Fully expandable on features.

14
DNET SOLUTION

• How nice would it be to simply install at your
  sites a system where you can
• Tell it what information you want.
• Tell it what device you want it from.
• Tell it how frequently you want it.
• Tell it who you want the data sent to.
• And how you want the data sent.
• The NETDataPump does all the work for you
• And you can even change this programming right
  from your computer without ever visiting the site.

15
NETDataPump Features

• The NETDataPump utilizes state of the art Push
  Technology.
• Push technology is where the NETDataPump collects
  your data on site from these intelligent devices,
  formats it, and sends it in to the host computer.
• NETDataPumps primary communication method is
  state-of-the-art Internet/Intranet networks.
• Though the NETDataPump pushes this critical
  information down to your host computer you always
  maintain your ability to have 2-way
  communications to your sites.

16
NETDataPump Features

• The NETDataPump communicates with these devices
  using their own languages, eliminating the need
  for device specific software and proficient
  operators to run them.
• The NETDataPump sends its data at your determined
  schedule, enabling you to get synchronized/Real-ti
  me data from all locations exactly when you want
  it.
• The NETDataPump has the optional ability to
  communicate over a modem and phone line, as well
  as a network connection.
• AUTOMATIC Seamless Software updates including
  Polling updates.

NETDataPump Features

• Data Distribution Options
• EMAIL/XML
• Direct XML File Copy
• SOAP/XML (Used in B2B E-Commerce)
• In all cases you can archive as much data for as
  long as you want at your own central site.
• Some remote monitoring companies want you to buy
  your own information back from them.

19
Expansion Requirements

• More sites/locations simply means an additional
  NETDataPump at the location connected to the
  network or phone line at site.
• The customer chooses who has access to the
  information.
• ---Transport companies
• ---Petroleum Equipment Service Companies
• ---Compliance individuals
• Its just that simple!
