Continuous Safety in Transshipment Operations

Solution: Ignition, Siemens (PLC) and Citect SCADA

Industry

Our client works in the petrochemical industry.

Needs

Our mandate was to automate and upgrade one of our client’s existing terminals in order to adapt it to the needs of one of its new clients, which entailed the launch of a new product.

Solutions

To achieve this, we began by adding a new control panel to the existing network.
Next, we integrated the programming of the central Siemens PLC, Citect SCADA, Ignition SCADA and local ERP with the controls and sequences required to support the new client and new products.
The next step was to add the new pumps with variable-frequency drives and the valves required for object-oriented programming.
The management of loading/unloading sequences for the three transshipment zones was also programmed and integrated into the SCADA systems.
Finally, we validated that the information exchanges with our client’s ERP were functional and complete.
Our team of automation experts completed this job in 4 months.
