The TanQuid fuel bulk storage tank farm in Munich has been using Version
4.3 of OpenTAS, the universal administration, dispatch and automation
system developed by Implico for the oil and gas industry.
TanQuid GmbH & Co. KG, based in Duisburg, asked Implico to
migrate the different OpenTAS systems from its predecessor companies to
a central system and harmonise them. In the future, all of TanQuid’s
German tank farms and its Polish farm will use Version 4.3 of OpenTAS.
With its high turnover and round-the-clock operations, the tank farm in
Munich is particularly challenging from an IT point of view.
TanQuid is the largest independent tank farm operator in Germany and
was one of Implico’s first customers back when TanQuid was still known
as VTG. TanQuid was spun off from VTG, LEHNKERING, OmniTank, Petroplus
and IVG. Most of these companies used OpenTAS at their storage
facilities, but they had different versions of the system with
customised functions.
Now all of TanQuid’s German tank farms are migrating to a central
system in Hamburg. The harmonization project started with the storage
facility in Salzgitter, which has been using OpenTAS 4.3 since June
2009. This facility was followed by the tank farms in Oberhausen,
Hanover, Regensburg and, in mid-November, the facility in Bremen. The
entire project should be completed in the second quarter of 2010.
