Architecture

Engineered architecture, end-to-end.

1

Layer 4

ERP

Business planning, orders, inventory accounting, billing, and master data.

2

Layer 3

TAS

Loading authorization, bay workflow, driver access, and movement records.

3

Layer 2

SCADA / HMI

Operator visibility, alarm response, process status, and event history.

4

Layer 1

PLC / VFD / Safety PLC

Control execution, pump behavior, valve states, permissives, and trips.

5

Layer 0

Field equipment

The measured reality of product movement, custody transfer, and equipment state.

Scope and outcomes

What we deliver — and what it changes.

Technical work that connects field signals to decisions.

  • Multi-protocol integration — Modbus / OPC UA / Ethernet/IP / Profinet / HART.
  • ATG — Honeywell Enraf, Varec, MTS tank gauging systems integrated into SCADA and inventory management.
  • Custody-transfer meters & flow computers — FMC, Brodie, Krohne, Emerson flow measurement and proving integration.
  • Loading-bay controllers & presets — Accuload, MicroLoad preset integration with batch control and additive injection.
  • Additive injection — ratio control, pulse metering, and verification for blended products.
Show all 11 items
  • RFID / badge access control — driver and vehicle authorization at the gate and gantry.
  • ANPR — automatic number-plate recognition for gate access and loading audit.
  • Historian / time-series — event logging, alarm history, and trend data for operations and compliance.
  • IEC 62443 zones & conduits — network segmentation, controlled access paths, and security-level alignment.
  • OT segmentation — separation of control network, enterprise network, and remote-access paths.
  • Ex-rated equipment for Zone 0/1/2 (IEC 60079) — ATEX-certified instruments, barriers, and enclosures.

Representative scenarios

From projects we have participated in.

West African coastal terminal

Challenge

Multiple handoffs between business orders, loading control, and stock records.

Solution

Map ERP, TAS, and field events into a shared operating-chain view.

Outcome

A clearer path for reconciliation, shift review, and phased modernization.

Southern African inland depot

Challenge

Lean operations team needed better stock confidence and movement traceability.

Solution

Define BulkStock™ entry points around depot movements and daily controls.

Outcome

A practical roadmap for inventory visibility without replacing every system at once.

Discuss a similar case

Multi-product tank farm

Challenge

Planning decisions depended on disconnected reports and manual checks.

Solution

Model constraints with a digital twin and expose KPI signals for operations.

Outcome

Better scenario review before changes reached live yard operations.
