Digital tank farms and terminals

The tank terminal industry faces significant challenges and transformations driven by digitalization, sustainability, and safety concerns. Moving beyond traditional oil and gas storage, the industry is embracing Industry 4.0 to achieve greater flexibility, efficiency, and competitiveness.

This factsheet highlights how integrating operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) is crucial for managing complex data, enabling innovations like predictive maintenance, real-time asset monitoring, and data-driven decision-making. Siemens advocates for openness and industry standards to foster a "zero-incident" environment and improve worker safety by reducing the need for human presence in hazardous zones.

The transition to alternative fuels and carbon storage demands more flexible and efficient terminal operations. Siemens offers a holistic approach with a multifaceted portfolio, from low-code platforms to advanced industrial automation hardware and software, to help customers navigate this evolving landscape. By embracing digitalization, tank terminals can enhance operational excellence, increase transparency, and prepare for future challenges.
