E’vita® (Egemin Vertically Integrated Tank terminal Automation) is Egemin Automation’s all-inclusive automation solution for integrating automation processes with high-level ERP systems (Enterprise Resource Planning) in tank terminal plants. It allows you to synchronise, coordinate and optimise your product movement operations and data communication in your tank terminal.

E’vita® is a top-to-bottom modular concept covering all your terminal automation needs. Depending on those needs we decide together with you what typical ERP features need to be implemented (order creation, customer management, product management, etc.) or, at the other end, which low-level control or hardware within your terminal should be included (valves, pumps, instrumentation, etc.).

System Architecture

E’vita® can be easily linked to your existing Business Management Systems

• Terminal Execution System for communication with your BMS and process equipment, data buffering, flow control, order management and tracking & tracing of all product movements.
  
  
• Terminal Control System for automation of your terminal services (product movements, weighing, utilities, etc.) from receiving up to distribution.

Automating Your Terminal Services

We automate your tank terminal services and supply added value services:

• Product receiving: vessel, truck, rail wagon, pipeline
  
  
• Product storage: pump & valve control, tank gauging (level, pressure, temperature)
  
  
• Added value services: in-line & in-tank blending, energy supply and utilities, fire fighting, water treatment, etc.
  
  
• Product distribution: vessel, truck, rail wagon, pipeline

Higher Return-on Investment and Increased Efficiency

We make your investments pay off by cutting back the total cost of ownership (COO) and the life cycle cost (LCC) of your project. E’vita® helps you shorten loading and unloading times of incoming and outgoing products and allows you to reduce manual operations. Furthermore, E’vita® considerably increases your throughput and leads to better usage of tank capacity and other assets.

A Wealth of Data

E’vita® captures, stores and displays loads of valuable data of your terminal, in particular, transport identification data, product and customer data, etc. Depending on the security level linked to their user accounts, operators, managers and customers have quick access to the terminal data reserved for them. Additionally, data can be readily accessed worldwide through the internet.

Designed to Integrate Safety & Security Issues

E’vita® is designed and optimised for safe (un)loading of your products. Grounding connections and overfill protections allow your truck drivers and operators to start safe filling of your tanks. Additionally, process settings in your tanks like pressure and temperature are closely monitored to make sure valves and pumps are commanded only when conditions are safe.
