Key Features and Benefits
TAS.net™ is built with open system foundation layered architecture and can communicate with almost any device and system with a published (or known) protocol.
TAS.net™application is specifically engineered for Microsoft® Windows® Server using Microsoft® .Net, Microsoft® SQL, and Microsoft® Reporting Services using the latest software technology, standards, and open systems component interfaces.
Our code is fully object-oriented and written using languages supported by Microsoft® Visual Studio.Net® 2003. Additions and updates to your system can be quickly implemented and only require adding or updating pieces of the program, not the entire application.
Multiple copies of TAS.net™ application modules can be distributed across any number of computers in any configuration.
No Proprietary viewers are needed. Users can access TAS.net™ directly from the Internet or DEARMAN™s UNITY™. One of the features of our UNITY™ provides web services to isolate the terminal's TAS.net™ for additional security.
Dearman Systems has developed its own set of Application Development Platform (ADP) Computer Aided Software Engineering (CASE) Tools. These tools allow us to quickly and visually implement customizations your operation requires. It also gives us the ability to make changes to your customized system whenever they are needed in a fast, cost effective, and efficient manner.
Detailed standard Human Machine Interface (HMI) terminal graphics provide a real-time visualization of terminal activity. Additionally, TAS.net™ is the first TAS to support user configurable design layout (drag and drop) technology. Each system will automatically configure the desktop to the standard layout that can be used as the base or the user can design a unique desktop for each terminal.
The Dearman Terminal Graphics Builder™ software (available for an additional cost) allows you to take complete control of your terminal’s process management functions and improves the efficiency and quality of your operations. Utilizing drag and drop technology, the Dearman Terminal Graphics Builder™ software creates a graphical representation of the various distributed process lines employed within your facility and integrates the PLCs, process controllers, pumps, and motor operated valves of those process lines into a fully interactive system. With control over the individual subsystems, the overall process can then be managed centrally and
represented graphically as a complete system.
TAS.net™ handles the generation and tracking of Renewable Identification Numbers (RIN) as required by the EPA's Renewable Fuel Standard.

DEARMAN™'s robust 4030 approved ExSTARS reporting solution is a fully functional tax basis inventory system for your 720-TO and 720-CS reporting needs (available for an additional cost).
TAS.net™s open system foundation layered architecture provides the flexibility to incorporate the additional security requirements imposed by the TWIC program.
Any report the TAS.net™ generates can be sent to any number of recipients. Users choose how they wish to receive their reports; Microsoft® Excel, PDF, HTML, or CSV format.
Choose from an extensive selection of standard reports or customize your own in Microsoft® Reporting Services™.
DEARMAN™’s cost effective blending solution that incorporates the use of existing load rack equipment and our revolutionary compartment loading functionality using touch screen graphical interface devices. The result is safe and error-proof multiple position sequential blending of ethanol, biodiesel, or any product in which expensive blending equipment or potentially inaccurate manual splash blending were considered the only options.
Virtually any allocation method you can imagine is possible. Using our 4-dimensional allocation scheme, you dictate exactly who gets what product, where, when, and how much. Allocations are configurable for any combination of products, terminal or terminal groups.
Developed as an integrated component of our RTG™ or TAS.net™ automation systems, our comprehensive railcar loading, unloading, and transloading package allows you to take complete control of your rail operations. Schedule in-bound loads, load or unload multiple railcars on the same bill of lading simultaneously, produce bills of lading containing volume and weight for each car (even for products loaded or unloaded at temperatures above 300°F), and keep track of your on-site railcar inventory.
