O&G Automated Terminal Operations Management - Wipro Case Study

The petrochemicals major, which had a truck terminal at an industrial area in the eastern province of Saudi Arabia, was facing terminal management and dispatch management issues. They did not have the technology to track real-time entry and exit of trucks, throwing their traffic management completely out of gear. The duty guards would make manual entries and these manual records were then transferred to the field operation dispatch managers. In addition, human fatigue, resultant errors and guards’ break time took the truck cycle time up.

The terminal, which supported a daily fleet of over 120 trucks that carried shipments to the industrial area, was in urgent need of a Dispatch Management System (DMS) that would provide controlled and monitored dispatches. The aim was to reduce truck cycle time, keep a track of parked trucks and their linked shipments details on a single screen, and bring down notification drafting time sans manual errors.

Wipro partnered with the petrochemicals major to develop a comprehensive SAP-enabled truck terminal system, that helped the terminals integrate WebMethods and SAP Business Warehouse. Our solution comprised a mix of Dispatch Management System, Vehicle Registration Process and Automatic Number Plate Recognition System, enabled by smart phone and tablet-friendly mobile applications.

  • The Dispatch Management System allowed fleet and dispatch managers to access the system over Web browsers, thus eliminating need for any user side of installation or set-up
  • Real-time integration with SAP (Fanar) system for shipment information and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system for automatic truck recognition and processing
  • The truck terminal system was built using Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 5, Microsoft SQL Server as the backend database server and WebMethods for integration with SAP
  • NET Framework 4.5 and MVC 5 were used as they had the inherent capacity to support next generation applications and services
