Companies will have visibility into the actual stock of fuel lying

in the stock yards.

Timely action in contracts management is also facilitated as the

status of utilization of these contracts becomes well known.

Regulatory and compliance reporting can be automated for all

such reports related to fuel processes.

Prescriptive steps due to logistic issues can also be addressed

efficiently at the planning level itself.


Conclusion

An integrated fuel management system is a

need that is strongly felt by many thermal power

companies around the world.

There is a challenge in the integration of

disparate real-time and transactional systems,

and plant automation systems..

A system that can successfully integrate the

processes and provide a consolidated view of

the complete process will provide great

business value to the power generation

companies.
