Movement Management The Movement Management solution within Resolution provides comprehensive planning and tracking of all material movements within a plant, as well as management of receipts and shipments to and from external sources via pipeline, rail, truck or ship. It can handle multisegment movements with associated quality, composition and ownership information. If required batch tracking capabilities can be enabled to provide detailed batch genealogy and history. Effective Movement and Inventory Management is pivotal for successful plant reporting: unit yield analysis; product accounting; data reconciliation and yield accounting. Resolution provides an integrated solution unsurpassed in the industry that that can handle all material transactions inside the plant and but also in the Supply Chain. It can effectively manage pipelines, trucking operations, shipping itineraries and nominations if required. For more details see Supply Chain Management. Features Accurately captures source and destination of all movements   Data can be used for detailed reconciliation or rolled up to compared with scheduled or planned information. Movements can be continuously running, multi-segment, or single segment.   Allows the same movement to be started many times. Avoids the need to enter meter tickets for every movement every night. Multiple quantities and qualities can be defined for each movement segment.   Not limited to defining one or two quantities or qualities for each movement segment. Movement quantities and qualities can be fixed values, time varying values or calculations.   Allows movement quantities such as mass to be automatically calculated from the meter ticket information. Any changes to the entered data are automatically reflected in changes to the calculated values. Manage multiple versions of the movement's quantities, qualities, and timing.   · Allows comparison of planned, scheduled, actual, and reconciled movement quantities, qualities, and timing. Movement quantities and qualities automatically rolled up over any period.    Reports are not limited to periods defined by the end-of-day. Instead, report periods can match operational periods: the period for one feed tank, etc. See the paper: "Closing the Loop between the ERP and DCS". Ownership of a movement can be shared amongst multiple business entities.    Allows material movements to be shared, a situation typical of sites operated by partnerships Movement routes and line-ups can be recorded.    Keep track of the actual routes taken by present and past material movements. Allows measurements to be verified against meters within the movement's route. Automatic movement detector deduces when movements start and stop.    Greatly reduces manual data entry. Requires no special instrumentation One-stop viewing of all movement activity.   Single application shows current run down activity in a unit. When combined with Scheduling Solution the same application shows the next run-down change for each of the unit's battery-limits. Multiple data capture methods available.    Data that is already in a real-time database can be left there yet still used as if it were in the Repository database Interactive forms allow manual data entry. These forms can be configured to match precise data entry requirements. Bulk loading of data via Reloader, the Resolution Excel add-in.		Search this site: SOLUTIONS Shows a solution.

Viewing of Data Resolution enables the management of movements throughout their entire life cycle. Allowable routes can be defined using the Lineup Editor. The Movement Editor, Movement Manager and Movement Entry applets allow a user to define movements that will later be scheduled via lineups. Alternatively, planned movements can be imported from a planning and scheduling tool using the Relayer XML interface. Once an item of interest has been located Resolver navigation can be used to activate additional applications or scripts to find more information. The Movement Viewer Manager shows movements into, out of and internal to a selected area. Multiple cases of data can be displayed e.g. planned vs actual. Multiple segments of movements can be displayed. Details of the movement segment qualities and quantities are displayed in the lower grid. Values for planned segments will likely come from the scheduling system. Actual segments will have values from on-line instrumentation. There are many movement applets that capture and display movement information. e.g.Applets are available for movement entry, adding ownership information, starting and stopping movements, displaying movement details, relating movements to plans, relating movements to cargoes on a vessel, displaying gantt charts etc... The following applet is one of the Movement Entry applets shows the type of data collected for a movement. The measurements area of the applet automatically expands to capture additional site specific attributes as required. Resolution makes use of Gantt displays as a convenient overview of operations. This Unit Movement Viewer display shows planned movements generated from a scheduling application (green) displayed alongside actual movement activities (blue). Movements in red are currently active. Resolver navigation is active on all bars on the display, so a user can immediately jump to find more information or perform an action on a movement or its' source or destination.
