Renewable Diesel Terminal, Port Arthur, TX

Project Overview

An Oil & Gas Midstream Company was weeks away from going live with a Rail Facility consisting of 1.9 million barrels of refined product storage capacity, 16 miles of rail track with unit train and manifest service from two railroads, three barge docks, two ship docks, and pipeline connectivity to local refiners and major refined product distribution hubs.

To consolidate data and operations, we deployed Ignition just weeks before going live as railcar and truck deliveries approached. Its connectivity integrated PLCs, RFID readers, scales, and tank systems onto a unified IoT platform.

Ignition’s data modeling enabled rapid integration despite the systems’ diversity. we completed the rollout in just 6 intensive weeks whereas normal planning takes months. IDM delivered:

  • Inbound Manifest Integration.

  • Railcar visit records with Inspection & Repair.

  • Product Batching with Track & Trace for Recipes.

  • Balance & Reporting Schedules & Methodologies

  • Mobile Applications for Real Time Boots-on-the Ground Integration.
