TerminalScheduler®

Track Shipper progress: plans made based on the original monthly volume is tracked against the current measured volumes, allowing easy determination of whether a shipper is on target to meet the schedule;Manage tanks: Volumes into and out of the tanks and tank pools are made and the volume and quality in the tanks are predicted and then tracked over the month. Inside of tank pools default switching algorithms are available to suggest operational plans;Determine flow routes and employed assets: Flow is routed through the terminal, passing through the several assets. These routes may be stored for later use or new routes can be created ad hoc as needs demand. Asset conflict is prevented and warnings;Complex cycle planning: As the several tanks in the terminal fill and empty at unequal rates, predicting when movements must be made can be complex. Algorithms are available that can produce shipping plans that maintain the volume health in the tank c;Generate pumping orders and work orders: The schedule produces pumping orders indicating the relevant information provided by the scheduler and produced by the scheduling simulator. Manipulation of each asset, as predicted by the schedule, produces wo;Create boutique product or crude blends: With a collection of tanks holding volumes of different quality, the system uses an embedded optimization capability to produce blending orders that will produce the desired target quality at the lowest price;Nominations and volumetric accounting;Scheduling for pipelines;Network planning
