Terminal Manager

What Is It?
Terminal Manager is used to automate all operations at a bulk liquid terminal, including all key monitoring and controlling functions such as product receipt, gate access control and loading. Events and alarms stored in Experion ensure that no important data is missed and help operating personnel avoid potential problems through timely notifications. Increased monitoring capabilities reduce the frequency of spill incidents, while automatic permissive inputs stop the loading process before an incident can happen.
Tight control and demand monitoring allows inventory to be optimized through automated measurement and loading. With support for different modes of transport, including surface, rail, marine and pipeline, Terminal Manager completely supports fuel receipt and distribution requirements. With added inventory management features such as folio reconciliation, product transfer agreements and exchange agreements, it helps users handle both the business and inventory aspects of a terminal.

How Does It Work?
Terminal Manager’s software interface enables fast and simple configuration of master data in a terminal encompassing products, bays, loading area, meters, tanks, vehicles, marine vessels, wagons, pipelines, drivers, trailers, customers, suppliers, users, roles and shareholders. It automates terminal workflows for all modes of transport, improving productivity and throughput and enabling smooth and efficient processes.
Terminal Manager and Experion integrate with batch controllers, access control units and SAP/ERP systems to form a complete terminal automation solution (TAS), allowing the software to process planned and unplanned orders. It also takes advantage of several key Experion features such as alarms, events and notifications, powerful trending features and interfaces to PLCs and other devices. With support for virtual preset concept as a standard product offering, Terminal Manager offers an efficient and economical TAS offering, reducing the total cost of ownership.

What Problems Does It Solve?
​Terminal Manager increases efficiency and productivity through greater terminal automation while offering users the flexibility to scale as they need. Better monitoring enables reduction in inventory and prevents incidents to bring about a significant reduction in operational costs. Finally, Terminal Manager, as a complete terminal automation solution, includes accurate and well-presented reports to aid decision making.
