The Veeder Root TLS 300/350 is being phased out. What can you do to prepare?

Recorded 1/24/2023
The Veeder Root TLS 300/350, which makes up the majority of automatic tank gauges in North America is at the end of its sales and service life and is being discontinued by Veeder-Root in the foreseeable future. Veeder-Root announced last year that it will be no longer manufacturing the TLS-300 and TLS-350 systems. They indicated sales cycle where manufacturing the products is no longer feasible due to obsoleted components and increased costs for older technologies.
Hear from UST Training’s special guest speaker Lee Girard of Veeder Root about why the transition is happening, why it’s actually a good thing, and what you can do to prepare for the future. Also hear about the many benefits of the TLS 450 Plus and why the transition makes good business, security and compliance sense.

Every technician I've spoken to has said tls-450 interface is frustrating to use and slow. They also state it is needlessly complicated and the remote function is rarely used. Almost every single one advised avoiding it and sticking to the tls 350. Besides, the tls-450 only now was approved for use in California and it is not being enthusiastically embraced here. As a gas station owner, I can't justify the cost vs benefit.

Out of curiosity, does this mean you'll continue to run the 350, or go with an alternative for a replacement (Franklin, etc)? I'm not selling anything, just curious how the thinking goes. I mean, the 350's seem to keep on trucking so maybe not much pressure to change anything until it breaks or if people doing maintenance/compliance work stop supporting them.
