Features

AST’s Integrated Terminal Automation System provides monitoring, control and management of the entire product handling process, right from Receipt to Storage to Distribution of the products.

TAS offers automatic control of complete workflow of the terminal helps reduce cost of operation, improves productivity, efficiency safety.

TAS is used for precise loading / unloading of petroleum products consisting of high accuracy flow meters along with batch controllers and other safety interlocks like earthing and overfill.

The field devices are connected to control room equipment to provide control and monitoring of terminal automation facilities using latest state of art application software and Server – Client technology with option of redundancy at various levels.

AST’s Smart Terminal Manager (STM), TAS software is the heart of the system which is integrated with various sub-systems to provide complete viewing, monitoring and control of the facilities. The TAS software is further integrated with Customer ERP system like SAP for commercial operations & inventory management.

STM interfaces with a combination of different makes and models of presets and equipment at a location/site. Hence, easily replaces existing TAS software without changing other interfacing devices.
