Enterprise Pipeline Management Solution (EPMS) is an enterprise-level pipeline applications suite. The EPMS supplements a core SCADA platform with specific gas and liquid applications that enable a pipeline operator to manage delivery contracts and associated logistics in a safe, cost-effective, and efficient manner.
The suite is a sustainable solution made up of pipeline applications that may be used in combination with common supervisory and monitoring functions and is based on a modular platform that is both IT-friendly and secure. The EPMS suite allows the easy modification of templates and functions, without having to call in pipeline application experts. It can be offered in combination with advanced pipeline simulation solutions that both reduce commissioning time and enable the full simulation of the pipeline operations management environment for the training of operators.
