VALVES, ACTUATORS & COUPLINGS
“Houston, we have a problem” became a famous quote during the Apollo 13 space mission, over 30 years ago. Today, despite popular belief, Houston does not have a problem - especially when it comes to employing some of the most talented and experienced people in the petroleum industry, many of whom are based in Houston. Terminal automation specialist AC2, Inc has been headquartered in Houston since it was established in 1994, and recently the company's experienced team helped Allied Terminals to achieve important business goals through upgrading its automation system. Allied Terminals has been a customer of AC2 since 1999 and has just recently decided to upgrade to the latest software revision, which includes the Microsoft SQL Server® database and Microsoft .NET® applications. Allied Terminals is a forhire full service company, which currently operates two throughput distribution terminals offering petroleum and chemical storage and terminalling services in Chesapeake and Norfolk Virginia. Dee Bell, Director of Automated Systems for Allied Terminals, says: “Allied Terminals' business goals can be grouped into three primary categories: Information Management - Provide timely information to our customers to enhance their business capabilities. Product Management - Handle our customer's product with care by documenting and accounting for all product movements including receipts and disbursements.”
