Lewes, DE -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/17/2016 -- Report forecast the global terminal automation market to grow at a CAGR of 6.26% during the period 2016 - 2020.

A bulk loading terminal or large depot stores products from industries, such as oil and gas, and chemicals and petrochemicals, which are received through cross-country pipelines, railways, ships, and trucks and stored in tank farms. These products are distributed through trucks, railways, barges, ships, and pipelines.

A supervisory and regulatory software system enables the automation of specific manual processes in an organization's terminal. TAS represents the amalgamation of terminal management system (TMS), terminal automation control (TAC), communications management system, motor control management, terminal loading system, and process and safety control. We note that terminal automation enhances productivity and alerts end-users through the use of real-time data. It also enables real-time and accurate data collection, reduces losses, prevents accidents, improves safety and security, protects the natural environment, expedites building processes, and enables centralized control.
