  The key to a modern and flexible automation processes
  Transforming the Terminal
  LNG Industry's Editor, Lydia Woellwarth, interviews Davor Rubinic, Solution Line Manager at Siemens Energy, in a Spotlight session where they discuss how the speed and complexity of transfer logistics have increase in recent years along with the need for optimized product transfer and utilization.
  Ensuring all terminal operations take place in a secure, transparent, orderly and well – documented manner
  Siemens Energy is the leading innovator in providing cutting – edge technologies and IT solutions for management of tank farm and terminal operations in the Oil and Gas industry. Our SITERMINAL TMS, a terminal management system for safe, secure, transparent and accountable transfer and storage of products with minimum supervision. With all legal requirements for custody transfer, safety measures and quality control, a highly flexible tank farm and terminal management system represents tank terminal operations as operational workflows, effectively automating, synchronizing, coordinating, analyzing and optimizing the entire tank terminal and its all technological processes.
  Developed in compliance with ISA – 95 international standards from the International Society of Automation, SITERMINAL TMS improves the efficiency of loading, simplifies maintenance and system extensions, and increases availability, reliability and business continuity.
  Increased control, better visibility of centralized information on all terminal operations, including real – time and historical data, improved asset utilization, transparent planning and independent loading operations.
  Delivering IT solutions for terminal management including all functionalities required for truck, ship and rail loading and unloading, pipeline operations, tank inventory management and reporting
  Safely handling volatile liquids, accurately tracking inventory turnover and yield, reliably monitoring product quantity – running a successful tankfarm business comes with many challenges. Process efficiency, transparency, safety and availability have become the key drivers of profitability in the industry. Backed by a partner with excellent solutions, decades of experience and hundreds of projects completed, comprehensive process knowledge and industry expertise, you can confidently and successfully address these requirements to the best – in – class tank terminal and loading facilities integrated solutions provider – Siemens Energy.
  Digital and virtual management of tank terminal processes
  Analyzing trends and interdependancies
  Handling and storage of materials in tank terminals is a crucial segment in ensuring the security of quantities to be dispatched and plays a vital role of tank management process.
  Smart reporting and strategy modeling
  How current operation relates to the future operation and storage capacities? Are the strategies of profit maximization and revenue recognition aligned? How that co – relates with terminal utilization and throughput?
