TANK TERMINAL AUTOMATION

MANAGING A LIQUID BULK TERMINAL IS ALL ABOUT:

Increasing profit Translate strategy into tactical and operational improvements Optimize tank utilization through clear visibility of future Supply and Demand Being in optimal control Know exactly what is going on at the terminal(s) Have clear visibility on order status – from order to cash Improving operational safety Prevent incidents, optimize work processes, monitor equipment status Comply with regulations and guidelines Achieving commercial advantage over competitors Optimize supply chain, offering real time client (order) status data

BUT HOW CAN YOU MANAGE IN SUCH A MESS

and satisfy all your stakeholders …

• Customers
• Employees
• Shareholders
• Governments

THE LIQUID BULK TRADING & TERMINAL INDUSTRY IS CONFRONTED WITH SOME DISRUPTIVE NEW TRENDS

• Increased legislation pressure
• Need for transparency towards governments

(SHEQ, license to operate); compliancy

• Increased product value (“Squeeze the last

penny out of the barrel”)

• Decreased batch sizes, need for lot &

inventory control. Blend optimization (Fame, Bio)

• Supply chain optimization & distribution

excellence – increased time pressure, cost control, demurrage costs reduction

• Trading & Storage companies merging

Despite these trends, there is still no need to really change. Business remains solid...

AND THE PRESSURE TO ADAPT REMAINS LOW…

• Continuing strong market for storage capacity
• Limited real competition
• High new entrants barriers
• Development of new storage locations

complicated / cumbersome

• Operating licenses and permits hard to obtain
• No imminent need for operational excellence,

no need to invest

But how will it be in 5 years time?

TODAY, MOST TERMINALS HAVE A FRAGMENTED DATA AND APPLICATION LANDSCAPE

• IT landscape being heterogeneous
• Most business “domains” having their own

application and database

• Departments working in information “Silo’s”
• Applications not connected – loss of data
• Data and process duplication and

inconsistency causing ineffective and inaccurate decision-making.

• Communication & interface problems

causing various problems

Incident Management Shift planning Maintenance Sales & purchasing Trading Line-up planning Volume accounting Document management Supply & Demand planning Action lists Movement planning Nomination planning Personnel Checks Quality

The answer is business process & information integration!

… AND MOST TERMINAL MANAGEMENT SYSTEM LACK BUSINESS PROCESS & INFORMATION INTEGRATION

INTEGRATION BETWEEN ALL LAYERS PROVIDES STAKEHOLDERS DIRECT ON-LINE ACCESS TO REAL-TIME INFORMATION

• Web based access for

client & stakeholders (stocks, order & movement status, financial status)

suppliers (transport, surveyor) for planning purposes (ETA, view planned work)

• Automatic generation of

documents (Bill of Lading, Customs, EMCS)

• Automatic generation of

notification emails to clients, transport companies, surveyors, personnel, etc

True integration between all layers provides seamless Order to Cash functionality
