What is Forecourt Centric Architecture?
>
A forecourt centric architecture is based on a controller (FCC) thats sits at the centre-point and controls the forecourt equipment.
>
It allows all other systems (POS, BOS, FMS, SAP, Payment..) to access and synchronize forecourt equipment independently.
>
There are no dependencies between equipment and system providers.
Forecourt Centric Architecture Benefits:
>
Allows oil companies/integrators to combine the best equipment with the best systems without being tied to an individual vendor.
>
Proven - fast rollouts and reliable operation.
>
It enables operation to continue to run (sale of fuel) even when other systems are down, POS for example.
Most oil companies have different requirements and operations in many different countries which support different operating models. They all however, share same forecourt centric architecture.
