Honeywell recently announced new features to its ETIS inventory management system to further improve integration and security, enabling storage terminals to achieve compliant, reliable, and accurate inventory management. The system relies on the mature Experion automation platform and introduces tank management and storage handover technology, which can effectively reduce inventory uncertainty, improve efficiency and reduce risk. The ENIS system is simple and intuitive to operate, allowing operators to control product loss and focus on safety.
It is understood that the new functions include: real-time visualization of tank farm inventory calculation results in accordance with the requirements of the American Petroleum Institute (API) and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM); Storage handover, accounting and reporting of legal metrology certification; Keep people and assets safe with intuitive alerting and event management; Leverage redundant communication interface units (CIUs) and ENIS redundancy for high availability; Operators can easily and quickly check tank usage with real-time and historical trend data; Customized reporting formats, including inventory, tank details, and audit trails; Automate routine tasks, including scheduling instrument commands and reports.
"ENIS is different from traditional tank farm inventory management systems. While traditional management systems are complex, difficult to integrate and have no redundancy, ENIS has always been the benchmark for tank farm inventory management systems, helping users effectively reduce costs, improve efficiency and increase profitability. "This upgrade enriches the functionality of the system and brings more convenience to refining and storage operators, as well as chemical companies that require accurate and compliant inventory data to ensure safe and efficient operation of tank farms. ”
According to reports, the deployment of the ENIS system can also enjoy many advantages in terms of safety and productivity brought by the Experion platform, including the integration of Honeywell video surveillance and fire detection systems in tank farms and terminals; Powerful and intuitive interface in accordance with ASM Alliance guidelines; and the ability to customize the display interface using Honeywell's HMIWeb Display Builder configuration software.
