OpenTAS for the Palm Oil IndustryIndustry – Edible Oils in General Edible oils are often referred to as purified plant-based oils. They are normally for use as cooking oil, food supplements, cosmetics, soaps, biofuel, and ingredient for other biotech products. The major edible oils that account for significant portion of worldwide edible oil production include coconut oil, corn oil, cottonseed oil, olive oil, palm oil, peanut oil, rapeseed oil, safflower oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, sunflower oil, etc.
With the continued demand and ever increasing consumption of edible oils, there are inevitably substantial prospects for market expandability, research, development, production and business processes optimization for the production and distribution of edible oils globally.
Palm Oil Industry in General Palm oil is one of the most widely produced edible oil in the world. It is extracted from the fruits of the oil palm trees that are cultivated in large scales plantations.
Oil palm trees originated from West Africa where it grows in the wild and was first introduced into Malaysia by the British in the early 1870’s. With the recognition of its importance and potentials very early in the 1900s, the government of Malaysia launched several strategic agricultural programs to developed and harness the potentials of the Palm Oil industry into an important agricultural crop to meet the demands for Palm Oil.
Today, both Malaysia and Indonesia contribute in excess of 85% of the world’s production and export of Palm Oil. Palm oil is commonly used as cooking oil, industrial lubricant, ingredient of processed foods, and also for the production of soap, personal care and other hygiene products. Palm oil is also an important component for the production of biodiesel.
Overview of the Palm Oil Supply Chain with OpenTAS Implico has the unique ability to cover the entire end-to-end business processes in the Supply Chain for the production and distribution of Palm Oil starting from the mills right down to the final destination for the distribution of refined products. The OpenTAS (Open Terminal Administration/Automation System) for Palm Oil is adapted for the exclusive use in the Palm Oil industry from the hydrocarbon Oil and Gas industry.
With more than 40 years in dealing with the integration of various engineering and measurement instruments including meters, tank gauges, weigh scales and security devices, the OpenTAS is able to integrate the necessary data capture at the field and production level. The efficiency is further augmented with Implico’s template design business processes or unique business process designed specifically for any facility in all bulk liquid movements, tracking, accounting and inventory controls.
Much of the solutions applied to efficiently manage the entire Supply Chain in the Oil and Gas industry is easily adapted to become best-practices in the Palm Oil industry with resounding success. This is further complemented by the ready-integration of the OpenTAS with most back-end Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems thus presenting to our customers a truly end-to-end solution.
