Scaling RFID-Based Safeguards Across a Retail Network

As part of its strategic investment in safety and delivery precision, Circle K, one of North America’s largest retail fuel networks, partnered with Berrys Technologies to implement a scalable, RFID-based misfuel prevention system across its operations in Texas.

Berrys deployed its proven Midas Elbow technology, an anti-cross-drop solution that prevents incorrect product delivery during fill. Central to the system is the use of RFID tags, installed at each tank fill point to ensure that only the correct fuel grade is dispensed into the corresponding tank.

To support this international rollout, Berrys’ team undertook a 30-hour round trip from the UK to Dallas, delivering both on-site training and technical installations across the Circle K forecourt network. More than 500 RFID tags were fitted during deployment, each individually coded to match specific tank and fuel-type parameters.

This large-scale project delivered measurable improvements in operational safety and compliance:

Elimination of cross-drop risks, enhancing product integrity and site safety

Efficient, automated verification reduces human error during fuel delivery

Seamless integration into existing forecourt infrastructure, with minimal disruption

By enabling a robust and replicable safety system across the Circle K estate, this project showcases Berrys Technologies global capability to deliver innovative, fuel-specific RFID safeguards at scale backed by deep engineering expertise and decades of industry leadership.
