1 i -Terminals Wipro Thought Leadership By Goutam Mangaraj
2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This paper showcases Wipro s thought leadership in Intelligent Terminals ( i-terminals) solution by utilizing the concept of operations intelligence. The solution (i Terminals) leverages technology to drive and support a more predictive, collaborative, and consistent way of working across terminals. The focus of the solution is around integrating data from multiple terminals to serve as a foundation for frequent and automated terminal benchmarking exercise and to provide a scalable platform for remote management of terminals from central sites.

4 Terminal Operations Overview A terminal is an industrial facility used for storing of refinery and petrochemical products. The facilities generally act as intermediate storage points from where these products are usually transported to end users or further storage facilities. Large, integrated Oil & Gas companies, such as Shell, BP, ExxonMobil own and operate hundreds of terminals spread across the globe. These terminals typically have disparate IT systems, such as Terminal Automation Systems, Tank Farm Management Systems, etc. and are disconnected from each other. Products from the terminals are transported (In & out) through the modes: tank trucks, rail tank cars, barges and pipelines. A typical terminal handles various kinds of inventories such as gasoline, gasoil, heavy fuel oil, naphtha, feedstocks, crude oil, natural gas, LPG, jet fuel, bio diesel, petrochemicals, specialty chemicals, etc. The existing landscape of terminals spans from terminals with manual processes to terminals that are automated, and have Terminal Automation Systems that control the loading and unloading of trucks, barges, rail tank cars, etc. The scope of this paper is on highly automated terminals that have IT systems in place to implement the features of an i Terminal. Challenges in Terminal Operations Reducing Operational costs: For a business as competitive as the downstream business, reduction of costs (i.e. improvement of margins) can go a long way in improving a company s competitive advantage and hence it is imperative to have standard processes and leverage best practices across the terminal network. Inefficient Performance Reporting: During performance reporting, terminal officials spend around 80% of the effort in collecting and compiling the data (costly operations with regards to man-hours involved) while only 20% of the effort is spent on analyzing the data thus resulting in insights below par. Limited Usability of Existing Systems: The daily terminal operations data and business data currently reside in many silos (various IT systems, manual records, etc) which are disconnected from each other. Generally the license cost of an existing software is a hindrance while trying to extend the access of business critical software to most of the employees for better and faster decision making processes. Hence, the business is not able get the maximum benefit out of the IT investments. Reactive mode of operation: As the focus is on data collection, processing and report generation, actions cannot be taken within the available opportunity window. Additionally, there are resource constraints because of prioritization conflicts with ongoing projects. Hence operating decisions are more like responses to an event as opposed to proactive decision making that minimizes lost opportunities. Incoherent Benchmarking Efforts: Generally, terminal operators try to benchmark respective terminals against certain performance metrics on an annual basis. Such comparisons are made at the HQ level, geographic level and at the individual terminal level. But most of the efforts are manual and hence consume a lot of time and resources. 4
5 Industry Scenario Terminal Management Industry Trends Increasingly, companies are looking to focus on their most strategic terminals and a group of terminals that conduct the bulk of the distribution for their businesses. Companies are looking to hive off non-strategic or non-standard terminals to focus on improving operations at their strategic terminals. Therefore, it becomes imperative that these terminals are operated keeping high quality in mind with globally accepted best practices. Terminal Benchmarking Remote Monitoring of Terminals i-terminals Sharing of Best Practices End to End Visibility of Supply Chain Terminal Benchmarking: This process of benchmarking gives the operators an idea about where their current operations stand in comparison to Best-In-Class operations; in terms of important metrics, such as maintenance and repair costs, operating efficiencies (gate-to-gate loading time) and cost KPIs (cost per m3 loaded, etc. Remote Monitoring of Terminals: This process will leverage technology to improve operating efficiencies, implement standard tools and rationalize processes across a group of terminals in close proximity to each other. Sharing of Best Practices: Once, the benchmarking is done and the best practices are identified then those practices need to be shared among other comparatively low performing terminals so that comprehensive improvements can be achieved in overall terminal operations across the company. End to End Visibility of Supply Chain: An end-to-end visibility fosters better management of available resources, such as empty tanks, berths, and truck bays, so that current capital investments can be maximized and potential losses, such as demurrage and inventory costs, etc. can be minimized. 5
6 Current Scenario The consumption of petroleum products and their derivatives has increased exponentially in recent times. To cater to the increased usage of petroleum products, the supply chain scenario of petroleum and petrochemical products across the world has undergone a major shift. There has been a spurt of new terminals across the world, and the existing terminals are undergoing major upgradations to handle the ever increasing load of operations. However, most terminals have not been able to keep up with the pace of economic development over the last couple of years. In fact, there exist many bottlenecks in terms of information sharing and physical status of the inventories leading to low productivity within the terminal. There are many obstacles in increasing terminal capacity through brown field expansions, with cost being a major factor. Higher operational efficiencies, near real-time information exchange and faster gate-to-gate vehicle turn-around times are among a few of the many critical factors due to which there is a pressing need for efficient management of terminals. There is an ever-growing need to bring in efficiencies in terminal operations by continuously reducing maintenance and repair costs, improving operational efficiencies, (through sustained improvement in gate-togate time, product gain/loss, etc.) and improving HSE compliance to reduce exposure to regulatory penalties. This can be achieved by bringing in improved visibility at the terminal level, across terminals (geo level), as well as at the HQ level. Future Scenario (Best-in-Class) Current Industry Scenario Disconnected IT Systems Incoherent Benchmarking Efforts Incomplete Visualization Delayed Performance Monitoring i -Terminals Future Industry Scenario Interconnected IT Systems Frequent & Automated Benchmarking Efforts End to End Visualization of Terminal Operations Near Real Time Performance Monitoring 6

8 Vision of i - Terminals Head Quarter Geography 1 Geography 2 Terminal 1 Terminal 2 Terminal 3 Terminal 4 Terminal 5 Terminal 6 Basically, the i terminal solution has been developed to help the terminal operators manage multiple terminals spread across geographies in the most efficient way thus generating huge cost savings for the parent company. The above diagram depicts a simple case in which the operator has nine terminals spread across three geographies and the HQ office is situated in a separate location. Intelligent terminal solution will allow the target companies to house their functional managers in a single location (preferably HQ office or any remote location) and allow them to monitor several critical parameters (CPs) of various terminals on near real-time basis. Further, it will allow them to compare the performance of various terminals against each other, and the performance of different geographies against each other as the need arises. The experts can then monitor, identify the best practices, and benchmark and propagate the same to other non-performing terminals, thus generating cost savings for the company. The solution will have a top view that shall focus on the overall company performance with regards to terminal business unit, and simultaneously allow for further drilldown to the geography levels as well as the individual terminal levels. The diagrams that follow show the hierarchical views as well as a sample top view. 8

10 The solution converts data from various sources into meaningful information. Data can be captured from different IT systems like Operations data (Terminal Automation System), Inventory data (Tank Farm Management System), Quality data (Analyzers/LIMS), Maintenance & HSSE data (in-house Oracle/SQL based systems), and Sales, HR & Finance data (ERP Systems). A sample terminal level dashboard is shown below. Terminal managers can have a snapshot of the terminal performance 24X7. The solution also allows monitoring of various key-operating parameters (KPIs) across functions on a single application. The solution leverages the existing applications in a terminal, which until recently were being used as silo applications, and allows integration into a common platform. It also allows for the visualization of KPIs in a contextualized manner.
