Embodiments are directed to a gas supply system, a gas panel monitoring system and to a gas distribution platform controlled via a high availability computing cluster. In one case, a gas supply system is provided which includes a gas panel defining an enclosure that includes a gas dispensing manifold. Gas flow through the gas dispensing manifold is regulated using solenoids. The gas supply system also includes a redundant control system that is electrically connected to the solenoids. The redundant control system is configured to send actuation signals to the solenoids to allow or prevent gas from flowing through the gas dispensing manifold. The gas supply system further includes a communications module that allows the redundant control system to monitor multiple gas panels. The monitoring includes receiving feedback from gas cabinet components regarding component operational status, and also transmitting actuation signals from the redundant control system to the gas panel.

A system and method for automating dispensing operationssuch as vehicle fueling operationsusing a portable electronic device such as a smart phone. The inventive system includes three major components: (1) A mobile application that resides on a portable electronic device; (2) Software that resides on a remote system server; and (3) Software that runs on a pump control module associated with a particular fuel dispenser. The system allows a user to automatically request and pay for fuel using the portable electronic device.

Fuel exchange authorization and can be performed and optimized by receiving a user input indicative of a fuel code. The user input is temporarily stored according to a third-party storage instruction. A fuel authorization data object is provided to the remote computing environment using a fuel exchange processing service and an application programming interface (API). A validation of the fuel code is generated by the remote computing environment based on a comparison of the user input to the fuel code. The validation is received from the remote computing environment via the fuel exchange processing service and the API. In response to receiving the validation of the fuel code, an exchange payload is generated and provided to the remote computing environment via the fuel exchange processing service and the API, the exchange payload being indicative of a fuel exchange amount, the identifier of the fuel entity, and the fuel code.
