THE REVOLUTION IS HERE

摘要

THE AVAILABILITY OF advanced digital technologies, such as big data, analytics, cloud and connected devices, is driving new opportunities to integrate storage terminal operations. Research conducted by Accenture into collaboration at tank terminals has created an outline of the current level of digital maturity in the market and suggests there is still a lot of scope to grow. That research fed into discussions during the StocExpo show in Rotterdam in March led by Eduard Smits, who says that terminals -especially older sites - frequently lack the digital maturity to fully capitalise on digital opportunities as they present themselves. "Aligning the supply chain will have a considerable impact on the terminal's operating efficiency and therefore also on reducing costs and improving customer service," he says.
