CUSTOMER
Major Pipeline CompanyCHALLENGE
This company was losing out on potential revenue and facing safetyissues. This was due to loss of timely alarm issues, putting their
entire operation and people at risk. Their existing systems andsoftware were unreliable and not properly integrated into theirbusiness systems, causing uncertainty and communication failure
with their limited cellular infrastructure.
These failures caused the loss of critical measurement data, resulting
in incorrect billing and the inability to accurately perform criticalleak detection across the pipeline following any kind of failure.
There was no capability for them to store historical data in thefield and their systems were not compliant with new control room
management standards, specifically alarm management.

OIL & GAS
SOLUTION
They chose an integrated Emerson solution consisting of theControlWave® RTUs and OpenEnterprise SCADA software. The
ControlWave RTUs deliver exceptional communications andseamlessly integrate with OpenEnterprise. Utilizing ControlWave
Designer, they were able to store historical data (alarms andmetering, billing information) in the field, and OpenEnterprise wasable to collect this data making their system significantly morereliable than the prior system. Now having the ability to “backfill” its
own historical and alarm systems with the data stored in Emerson’sControlWave removed the risk of gaps in this data, enhancing theirreliability.
Now, this pipeline company has consistent metering data, iteliminates the business risks associated with invalid data, andreduced the effort required to revise missing data. Their data results
for leak detection are more accurate and ensure timely detectionof pipeline leakage. To ensure compliance, OpenEnterprisealarm system and statistics maintain Control Room Management
standards, which they did not achieve with prior software.
