ABB's IndustrialIT for Terminals is more valuable than the sum of our Products
As the world’s leading supplier to the oil and gas transportation and distribution industries, ABB has provided you with equipment, automation systems, software and services to run your operation productively and profitably. You’ve thought of us as a measurement company, a controls company and an automation company. We’re all of those things. And all of those things combined are Information Technology, or IT.We focus IT on the core processes in your industry, blending the needs of the IT world with the needs of Industrial Automation.That’s ABB’s IndustrialIT. ABB’s philosophy is to ensure we add value from the ground up. Individual products should provide inherent value.The synergy of those products when applied in a total system environment should ensure “Absolute Value”, emphasizing “Lowest Installed Cost” and/or “Lowest Cost of Ownership”. In reality absolute value comes in two ways, the customer must realize lower “Operating” costs, and/or,“Increased Revenues”. This is our goal.
ABB custom-builds complete IndustrialIT solutions for the distribution terminal industry to maximize your profitability and minimize your costs
ABB offers total solutions for transportation and distribution to manage the movement of petroleum and chemical products through pipelines, tankers and terminals; eliminate losses; and meet strict government regulations. From the blending unit in the field and on to the boardroom, ABB’s IndustrialIT for Terminals gives your distribution terminal business a new competitive edge, with unsurpassed enterprise connectivity and information access.
Aspects and Objects
A key feature of this next generation technology is ABB Aspects ObjectsTM, which integrates information from a variety of applications and makes it available in real-time to any authorized users regardless of their location.Terminal data and terminal components are presented as configurable software objects. Each object carries a range of related information (for example, electrical specifications, intellectual properties and identity information) that makes the object instantly recognizable to enterprise-wide information networks.With Aspects Objects, terminal related information is deployed rapidly and uniformly, so that personnel throughout your enterprise view your business through the same real-time “window”. Better information means faster and better decision-making and more control over assets.
Services
ABB’s professional services range from providing electrical equipment or instrumentation to delivering the most sophisticated terminal management system. A typical scope of services for the terminal industry includes:
- Project management
- Site survey and analysis of existing facilities
- Basic and detailed design and prototyping
- Hardware and software engineering
- Installation and commissioning
- Startup assistance and training (including computer-based training)
- Service and maintenance during the whole lifecycle
ABB can help by providing services, consultation and training as an integral part of the project throughout its life-cycle, including planning, design, production and startup.ABB’s support doesn’t end with commissioning: online and onsite support is an important part of our program for both manned and unmanned terminals.
