1. In-depth intelligent penetration and reconstruction of the operational efficiency system
The comprehensive application of technology will become the key to enhancing the core competitiveness of mini gas stations, achieving full-link intelligent upgrade from equipment monitoring to operation management. At the equipment level, mainstream models will integrate IoT (Internet of Things) modules, collecting real-time data such as tank liquid level, fuel dispenser flow, equipment operation temperature, and combustible gas concentration through sensors, and combining 5G technology to achieve remote real-time monitoring. Managers can grasp the status of the site at any time through mobile phones or computer terminals, automatically trigger and light alarms and push early warning information in case of abnormalities, greatly reducing the pressure of manual patrol inspection.
At the operational management level, the intelligent system will achieve "-driven decision-making". Through big data analysis of user refueling habits, oil consumption peaks, and other data, it can precisely predict inventory demand, avoid oil product or shortage; the combination of self-service payment terminals and membership systems can support multiple settlement methods such as WeChat, Alipay, and contactless payment, and record customer data at the same time, providing support for precision marketing. A more cutting-edge development direction is the implementation of unmanned attendance mode, relying on AI visual recognition, automatic number recognition, and intelligent security system, to achieve full-process unmanned operation of "vehicle entering the station-automatic recognition-self-service refueling-contactless paymentleaving", further reducing labor costs, and the number of operational personnel per station can be reduced to 1 or even zero.
2. Accelerated green transformation adaptation to the energy structure reform
Under the leadership of the "double carbon" goal, mini gas stations will transform from "single fuel supply" to "oil-electric-hydro multi-energy complementarity" integrated energy service stations, while strengthening the application of environmental protection technology. The most direct reflection is the popularization of the "oil-electric integration", which retains the diesel and gasoline refueling functions and integrates the DC fast charging pile and slow charging pile modules, adapts to the charging needs of new energy passenger cars, vehicles, and agricultural machinery, especially in rural areas and logistics parks, which can meet the energy supply needs of traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles at the same time, enhancing the income of the site.
The upgrading of environmental protection technology will become a rigid requirement. On the one hand, the barrier-proof anti-explosion oil storage tank will fully equipped with an efficient oil and gas recovery system, and the oil recovery rate of gasoline models will be increased to more than 95%, reducing VOCs (Vol Organic Compounds) emissions and meeting the strict requirements of the "Gas Station Air Pollutant Emission Standard" (GB 20952-2020. On the other hand, the oil storage tank will adopt a leak-proof design, equipped with soil and groundwater monitoring devices, and prevent pollution risks from the source. the long run, with the maturity of hydrogen technology, some pilot scenarios of mini gas stations may integrate small-scale hydrogen refueling modules and become important nodes in the hydrogen refing terminal network.
3. Deep scene segmentation and precise matching of diverse needs
The flexibility advantage of mini gas stations will be further released, and customized solutions will be launched different scenarios, forming a product matrix of "universal basic type scene customization type". In rural and remote areas, the "rural convenience type" mini station will be launched with the oil storage capacity controlled at 2000-5000L, focusing on diesel (suitable for agricultural machinery) and 92# gasoline (itable for family cars), equipped with simple sunshade shed and convenience service cabinet, and combining with the rural revitalization policy to strive for site and tax preferences, filling the oil supply blind spot.
