What is a Terminal Automation System?
A terminal automation system integrates field instrumentation using process control to automate load authorization, product movement, product measurement, documentation, and reporting.
What is Terminal Automation Software?
Terminal automation software automates certain manual processes in a terminal, specifically around products being moved in and out of the terminal by various transportation methods. The software is flexible and typically open to integration with other systems, including access control.
Terminal automation systems contain logic called process control that enable operators to control field devices in an orchestrated manner and utilize data from these devices for practical business functions. These systems often bridge the gap between the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems.

Dearman's Terminal Automation Systems
We have out-of-the-box (minimum configuration) solutions as well as fully configurable (and customizable) systems for large-scale operators.
Terminal Graphics Builder
Utilizing drag and drop technology, the Dearman Terminal Graphics Builder software creates a graphical representation of the distributed process lines employed within your facility and integrates the PLCs, process controllers, pumps, and motor operated valves of those process lines into a fully interactive system. With control over the individual subsystems, the overall process can then be managed centrally and represented graphically as a complete system.
