Delivering operational intelligence.

Amid increasing demand, environmental pressures, and potential security threats, the primary concern of hydrocarbon pipeline operators remains the same: to ensure safe, reliable, and compliant operations, 24/7 — all while managing cost-efficient transportation and minimizing operational risk.

The Schneider Electric™ Enterprise Pipeline Management System (ePLMS), together with Cisco, features a highly secure architecture using the IoT to integrate converged telecommunications with the midstream span of equipment control, pipeline operations, and enterprise information management mandatory for today’s operators.

The solution lessens deployment risk, speeds installation, improves operational efficiencies and total cost of ownership (TCO), and helps resolve critical network issues quickly.

Best design and reduced implementation cost and risk

Reference design based on industry best practices provides future-ready communication, IT, and automation architecture for integrated and automated operations.

Reduced risk, and safer, secure, more reliable operations

High availability of the systems and accurate, timely data improve response to abnormal operations.

Lower TCO

Secure and reliable architecture based on open standards and converged IT/OT solution for communications, networks, and IT infrastructure solution.

Increased business and operations efficiency; higher revenue

IoT uses open standards and centralized data management to seamlessly integrate and operate with other pipeline operations systems. The solution integrates other software applications for simulation, forecasting and planning, measurement, and asset management, maximizing the collected data.

Scalability

Start with a complete solution or modular segments. Your best-in-class system can grow and evolve with the pipeline network, with minimal deployment and integration risk — and assured life cycle support.

Converging operational and informational technologies delivers control over open standards.


Enabling IT/OT convergence in pipeline operations.

IoT at a glance.

Pipeline integrity, safety, security, and reliability are essential elements that help operators meet demanding delivery schedules and optimize operational costs. These challenges can be addressed through a secure communications strategy to ensure operators can easily access remote data, video, and collaboration solutions for safety and security in addition to operations.
