The present disclosure refers to a system and components for a thief hatch. The thief hatch may include a flange body comprising a first composite material. The flange is configured to attach to a tank roof. A lid is operably connected to the flange body. The lid comprises a second composite material. The lid comprises a hinge operably connected to allow for at least partial opening and closing of the lid. The first composite material and the second composite material are the same material or different materials.

The application relates to a transport unit for transporting a moving walkway, which transport unit has moving walkway modules and holding frames. At least two of the moving walkway modules are designed as a moving walkway central part and each have a supporting structure portion, the supporting structure portion being designed to support a guide rail portion, a forward pallet belt portion and a return pallet belt portion. The moving walkway modules are designed to be coupled to one another one behind the other. The moving walkway modules are arranged in the transport unit in levels one above the other. Each holding frame has horizontal struts spaced apart and parallel to one another and vertical struts holding the horizontal struts at opposite ends. A holding frame is arranged at positions spaced apart such that one of the moving walkway modules rests on one of the horizontal struts and the vertical struts extend on opposite sides of the moving walkway modules.

A method includes receiving, at a server, a first message including identifying information about a container with an access door seal being monitored by a first ARM device. The method includes initiating tracking of the shipment and first ARM device. The method includes, in response to receiving a second ARM device message indicating an unsealed status of the access door being monitored, comparing the actual time and location at which the ARM device detected unsealing of the access door to the expected unseal time and location. The method includes, in response to the actual time and location not being within a threshold range of the expected time and location, determining that an unexpected/unscheduled unseal event has occurred with the shipping container. The method includes generating and transmitting notifications alerting the operator and at least one interested party identified with the shipment of an unexpected/unscheduled unseal event.

A system for remotely opening an access hatch of storage tank includes an elongate arm having a proximal end configured to be operatively coupled to a lid of the access hatch and a distal end extendable past an outer perimeter of the storage tank, and a pull cable attached to the arm at the distal end and being extendable toward a ground surrounding the storage tank. Pulling on the pull cable releases a latch that secures the lid to a base of the access hatch and allows the lid to pivot from a closed position to an open position.

In accordance with presently disclosed embodiments, systems and methods for sequencing portable containers of bulk material to provide continuous bulk material usage at an outlet are provided. The disclosed sequencing techniques may involve identifying a sequence for opening different portable containers of bulk material (or identifying the “next” portable container to open) and automatically actuating the discharge gates of the portable containers in the desired sequence to provide a continuous flow of bulk material to the outlet (e.g., blender unit). The identified sequence may be executed through a control system communicatively coupled to actuators used to open/close the discharge gates of the portable bulk material containers. A GUI may be communicatively coupled to the control system to allow an operator to select the desired sequence for execution by the control system and to display information regarding the portable bulk material containers.
