Digital equipment master data (eEQUIP) Solution

The eEQUIP solution allows to share equipment master data in support of the digital eECD cleaning process and in support of a digital “Gate Check-in” process. 

Before a cleaning starts and to define the cleaning program, the cleaning station needs to know the exact equipment configuration. The same is true before a loading process can start.  Typical mandatory equipment configuration data are for instance the number of compartments, volume per compartment, the number of manholes, the number of baffles etc.
The eEQUIP solution allows to digitally exchange specific and industry harmonized equipment master data fields between the equipment operator, the loader and the cleaner as part of the digital eECD – ePPL process and only for that specific equipment.

The eEQUIP benefits can be summarized as follows:

At the cleaning stations

• avoiding truck drivers to re-type equipment data at cleaning gate check-in on a daily basis
• avoiding equipment data errors and misunderstandings between the actors
• supporting the design of common IT systems and common system interfaces
• accurate equipment configuration prior cleaning
• reducing the overall operating costs

At the Loading places

• avoiding truck drivers to re-type equipment data at loading gate check-in on a daily basis
• automate the administrative equipment checks  prior arrival at the loading gate
• facilitate self check-in and self-loading
• automatic payload calculation and tank- compartment selections
• less error, process defects and rejects
• less waiting time for drivers
