Integrated terminal systems for safer operations
January 2013
IT in Manufacturing
Honeywell has announced its next generation of Terminal Manager server software that will allow bulk terminal operators to integrate disparate business, operations, safety, security and access control systems into a single control and operating solution. Built on Honeywell’s Experion platform, Terminal Manager R620 provides full integration with fire and gas, CCTV, access control, Digital Video Manager and Enterprise Building Integrator systems. The latest release also includes configurable workflows for quicker set-up and implementation.
Incorporating more than six decades of experience providing solutions to terminal operators, Honeywell Enraf’s Terminal Manager is a web-based solution for managing the entire operation in bulk terminals. Built on Microsoft Windows, it is designed to monitor and control all critical processes from receipt to dispatch and interfaces with enterprise resource planning (ERP), access control, loading and unloading, workflow management, inventory management, product reconciliation and documentation systems.
The configurable workflows and a modular approach in the latest release significantly reduce the time needed to build the system by minimising or eliminating the need for customisation to specific operations. This enables users to set up the software to give a broad overview and in-depth control of key parameters, such as product availability and movement, tank status, alarms, orders, shipments, shifts, loading bay availability, entries and exits. Other enhanced features in the latest release include an expansion of the supported device library, which allows integration with the majority of industry standard field devices.
Honeywell Enraf’s new Terminal Manager R620 is suitable for all bulk terminals and is compliant with the latest Experion PKS for medium and large size terminals and with Experion HS for smaller terminals.
