Diversification of modes of transport
Chemical enterprises in traffic and transportation costs account for a large proportion, and transportation methods have diversified (road, rail, waterways) and reasonable arrangements for shipping and loading of goods, optimize the transport plan, while strengthening the monitoring of the goods shipped and also chemical business management in an important component.

Required to achieve an integrated management and control
Chemical industry, an important characteristic of the production process are: continuity and real-time. To this end, chemical production and management of enterprises is not only the resources required for effective production control and management, it also needs the following data collected in real time to meet the dynamic production and management needs:

Automatic real-time data acquisition of the production process, to analyze and control process parameters to ensure product quality;

Automatic acquisition of plant and equipment, water, electricity, gas and other power energy consumption, provide a basis for cost accounting data;

Automatic access to the underlying equipment and production lines running state data for predictive maintenance and preventive maintenance to provide a scientific basis.

All of which rely on ERP software functionality can not be achieved, and the need for a real-time information management system. Real-time information management system is equivalent to the information hub (Information Hub) role, it will process control systems in the real-time data uploaded to the management information systems, management and control to achieve integration, to meet the chemical industry for production management of real-time control of the special needs.

Therefore, the chemical enterprise information systems should primarily include: the production process control systems, real-time information management system, management information systems three parts:

Process control through DCS, PLC, FCS and other control systems to achieve; Management information system, through the ERP, EAM and other management software to achieve;Enterprise management and control integration, through the real-time information system to achieve.
