The world’s leading international event for the tank terminal industry, which returns to The Ahoy Rotterdam on 28-30 March 2017 will feature innovation spanning the entire supply spectrum – from pumps and valves, loading equipment and coatings through to roofing, tank cleaning and degassing.

For example, Implico Group will be introducing its new handheld solution for railcar handling. By allowing staff at trackside to be directly connected to the terminal management and automation system – OpenTAS – workers can enter current loading data without detours or delays, speeding up the entire process.

Avalon Automation will be presenting the latest release of ALIAS, its configurable TAS solution which offers:

• contracting
• order management
• scheduling
• inventory control
• order based loading
• order to cash
• conditional billing
• KPI reporting, and more

It helps to drive down risk, avoid human errors, and structurally reduce operational costs.

Emerson Automation Solutions will be launching TerminalManager, its single application for managing the commercial and operational aspects of the terminal. This results in faster order to cash, more efficient customer communications and improved asset utilisation. Emerson will also be showcasing TerminalScheduler, its full featured software system for planning and scheduling operations within a tank farm or terminal. It organizes and consolidates all of the information needed to perform both long term and short term scheduling.

The Lightning Master stand will feature its movable arm grounding system – MAGS. This patented bypass conductor system for external floating roof tanks is simple, gravity-powered and reliable, having been through a simulated wind test in excess of 2,000,000 cycles without wear or failure.

Systems Navigator is going to present its new cloud solution – DROPBOARD. It assists liquid bulk terminals in planning, scheduling and operational logging. The tool includes smart scheduling algorithms and takes full advantage of big data which helps the terminal and its customers by reducing turnaround times, waiting times and berth occupancy.

Verwater will be displaying its full spectrum of industrial and tank-related maintenance and project services, such as jacking, civil works, piping and mechanical, turnarounds, protective coatings, E&I, panel building and engineering.
