More than 20 critical software systems from Invensys and third parties will be integrated within the Terminal Operation Management System and with Cheniere enterprise level business systems.
The software systems range from ship tracking and terminal operations planning, to enterprise asset management, operations execution, LNG Tank composition, terminal performance management, incident management and security monitoring.
The TOMS implementation will be founded on a unified architecture; universal data exchange with enterprise systems; use of standardised interfaces; data storage and retrieval; modular architecture, and web-based solutions.
The new contract builds on previous Invensys performance in the Sabine Pass project.
Invensys had been awarded, and successfully completed, the Front End Engineering and Design (FEED) for the Terminal Operations Management System for Sabine Pass.
The objective of the FEED effort was to provide a high-level design of a system that would facilitate safety, reliability, maintainability, operation efficiency and integration of terminal operations information systems, enabling an upward integration from the terminal's unit level controls to the Cheniere corporate offices.
Invensys is able to provide a uniquely broad spectrum of consultative skills, including business understanding and methodology, information technology, in depth LNG technical knowledge as well as LNG solution technologies.
The people on Invensys project teams have brought together business consulting, system integration, automation control solutions, and project management for LNG companies worldwide.
