Entis Pro is a highly reliable, field-proven inventory management system for custody transfer operations. Entis Pro is a powerful and flexible software package to manage liquid inventory. Entis Pro can provide all the measured and calculated data needed for a tank farm, regardless of size.

Open architecture

Entis Pro is a unique tank inventory management system. It interfaces smoothly at different system layers and provides host communication with almost any third-party package.

Real-time inventory

Entis Pro is a native multitasking Windows 2000 and XP application. Data is retrieved via dedicated Communication Interface Units (CIU Prime and CIU Plus) and processed through to the open Entis Pro inventory database. A myriad of different screens are available for inventory management. These include bar graphs, tabular details, iconized tanks and a complete range of optional modules such as trending, report printing and tank calculator.

Numerical and graphical displays

Both numerical and graphical displays are available. All the data shown in the numerical displays is high resolution, accurate and can be customized to meet specific needs. The graphical displays provide a quick overview of tank status. Several graphical interfaces are also available and the tank images can be customized per tank if required.

Intuitive operation

Entis Pro is mouse-driven and has a logical user interface for easy operation. A change of color in the tank display immediately informs the operator as to whether the tank is being filled or emptied.

Data scanning and calculation
Sophisticated data scanning in the CIU Prime and intelligent calculating in the CIU Plus provide Entis Pro with real-time inventory data. These inventory calculations are fully API and ASTM compatible.

Networking
Inherent network segregation risks, common in client-server applications, are eliminated by high performance data replication throughout the network.

The excellent network facilities of Windows 2000 and XP allow you to integrate Entis Pro into your plant's network. Local and wide-area networking are both possible via Ethernet or Token Ring. Use of standard TCP/IP makes hardware selection and installation easy and affordable. Wireless and fiber optic communication can be seamlessly integrated.

A reliable alarm system
In addition to the alarm contacts in the field instruments, Entis Pro offers an array of programmable alarm set points. Privileged users can create their own alarms for all measured or calculated data. Alarm avalanches, where one failure leads to an inundation of vague messages, are prevented. During inactive periods, tanks can be put into leak detection mode. This leak alarm uses the temperature corrected volume to make sure that temperature variations do not mislead the system. Alarms and acknowledgments, together with all tank information, are recorded and stored for future review and traceability.

Hot standby and redundancy
The Entis Pro system can be enhanced for use in critical applications with hot standby and redundancy support. Redundancy support can even cover the unlikely event of a network failure, providing increased data availability.
