OpenEnterprise™ SCADA Helps Monitor andControl City Gas Stations Remotely to Reduce
Operation Cost
RESULTSn Lowered the operation cost by remote monitoring and control
n Increased efficiency by eliminating the need for daily site inspectionsn Reduced cable routing cost with the wireless communications

APPLICATIONSCADA, security, and a CCTV system with RTUs/flow computers tomonitor and control the instruments/valves of gate stations and valve
stations scattered throughout one of China’s largest cities.

CUSTOMER
A gas supply company in one of China’s largest cities.

CHALLENGE
This customer did not have a reliable SCADA system and had to send
their operators to inspect their locally-mounted instruments to gettheir process information. Their operation was inefficient andrisked the safety of their operators, thus increasing their cost withfrequent site visits. The information was delayed and fragile formanagement to make any business decisions while patrolling theinspection took a lot of time and manpower.
This customer was looking for a SCADA solution which can monitor
and control all stations based on a reliable communication network,and ensure metering accuracy across the network. Since most tier-2and tier-3 stations are scattered far away from the control center, they
were interested in Emerson’s wireless communication and insisted itshould be deployed.

We have not had any problems since
they have been installed. Operators
don’t need work on the site to record
the process information and reduce
the site trip cost. We plan to buy more
Emerson RTUs.”

SOLUTION
Emerson provided the customer with their OpenEnterprise SCADA
solution along with the ControlWave PAC and the FloBoss 107.
These RTU/flow computers were used for station control while
OpenEnterprise’s data collection and storage function provided
them with real-time process information and historical data. The
ControlWave/FloBoss were remotely placed at the stations tocommunicate to OpenEnterprise by the CDMA network.
Emerson’s OpenEnterprise SCADA system made it convenient tomonitor, control, and collect data from the instruments and valvesat their stations. The ability for the product management team toaccess both real-time information and historical data made for easy
reporting. The customer increased their savings by eliminating dailysite inspections and the wireless communication from the station toOpenEnterprise reduced the cable routing cost dramatically.
