PHASE II: RUSH HOUR
KEEP IT FLOWING! (CONT.)
Making those pumps smarter is the Turbine Pump Interface™ (TPI), which
links Kwik Trip™’s fuel pumps with EVO™ Series Fuel Management Systems into
one intelligent fuel pumping network. The EVO™ Series console does not just
read fuel levels in the underground tanks; it coordinates them — managing
primary and secondary pumps, escalating a clogged pump, heading off dry runs
and overfills, and flagging trouble before it becomes a closed lane. It is the kind
of behind-the-glass intelligence a busy store manager never has to think about,
which is precisely the point.
And then there is the Upper Midwest’s signature challenge: winter. Diesel
Exhaust Fluid (DEF) freezes — and frozen DEF is a dead product line and an
unhappy diesel customer. Working from Kwik Trip™’s cold-climate reality,
Franklin Electric developed the DEF Recirculation System which is automated
by the EVO™ Series console, keeping DEF moving so it doesn’t freeze and ready
when a trucker pulls up at ten below. That is not a feature someone dreamed
up in a lab. It came straight out of listening to a customer who fuels a lot of DEF
in a lot of cold.
