Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a cloud metering control method for a metering management system of a refinery enterprise, belonging to the technical field of metering management systems. Background Art

[0002] The measurement method of refining and chemical enterprises has the characteristics of many measurement points, long lines and wide coverage, just like other refining and chemical enterprises. The measurement management is difficult. There are many business flow links such as the issuance of inbound and outbound plans - entering the factory - sending (receiving) goods - measurement - leaving the factory - settlement. The upstream and downstream businesses cross departments, positions and professions, and the connection is not smooth. The procedures are cumbersome and inefficient. The traditional manual single-point operation and on-site management directly bring about measurement control risks. There are four management shortcomings: (1) High measurement risk: The measurement business is completed by outsourced personnel, which cannot meet the employment management requirements of the Notice on Further Standardizing the Management of Business Outsourcing of Refining and Chemical Enterprises (No. 531 of the Shareholding Work Order Refining Enterprise

[2020] ). According to the internal control risk assessment, the outsourcing of measurement business has become a factor of enterprise measurement risk. The streamlining of business outsourcing personnel is the general trend for enterprises to strengthen risk management in the future. Under the "big supervision" pattern, preventing measurement risks has become the focus of strict enterprise management. The adoption of advanced measurement control models is a measure to promote the effective prevention of measurement risks.

[0003] (2) Measurement data cannot be deeply applied: The cloud measurement system, measurement management system, weighing system, flow meter loading and shipping system, MES, ERP, etc. established by the enterprise still have "information islands" in application. The information and data interaction between systems cannot be horizontally and vertically extended, which limits the breadth and depth of data in-depth application and affects the vitality of the use of measurement data.

[0004] (3) Bottlenecks in measurement information: Traditional manual decentralized measurement has become a bottleneck problem for the pragmatic, efficient and precise management of modern enterprises.

[0005] (4) The cost of measurement services is too high: the business of entering and leaving the factory involves upstream and downstream professions such as measurement, storage and transportation, sales, and finance. There are many kinds of paper documents, high printing costs, high management costs, and great difficulty.

[0006] Given that the metering extension length and radiation breadth of refining and chemical enterprises are insufficient, and the role of metering data in empowering production and operations has not yet been fully brought into play, there are existing barriers. It is necessary to further explore a metering control model that is compatible with the enterprise's efficiency and pragmatism, to ensure smooth inbound and outbound business, streamlined links, adequate control, and improved efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In response to the above-mentioned defects in the existing technology, the present invention proposes a cloud metering control method for the metering management system of a refinery and chemical enterprise, which can carry out all-round, all-weather, full-process and no-dead-angle precise control of every inbound and outbound business, every metering process, every metering equipment, and every metering data of the refinery and chemical enterprise. The meter operator can promptly capture every small anomaly, small deviation, and small fluctuation in the measurement and deal with it, aiming to strengthen the supervision of the operating status of the metering instruments, the operating specifications of the metering process and the accurate application of the metering data.

[0008] The cloud metering control method for the metering management system of a refinery enterprise of the present invention includes a metering management system, an access control system, a weighing system, and a loading settlement system, and also includes a cloud metering control center. The cloud metering control center uses a cloud metering control method to control the refinery enterprise, wherein:

[0009] The metering management system is used to transmit field signals from flow meters and quantitative packaging machines through the data bus to the DCS system of the cloud metering control center. The metering data is uploaded to the real-time database via the local area network. The real-time database transmits the metering data to the metering management system in real time. The metering management system corrects the corresponding metering data based on the results of the online diagnosis of the metering instruments and transmits the real-time data to the MES system in real time.

[0010] Access control system, used for automated, streamlined and visual management of vehicles entering the factory according to appointment times;

[0011] The weighing system is used for automated, streamlined and visual management of the measurement of delivery information at the factory according to the scheduled time;

[0012] The loading settlement system is used to interconnect loading information with the weighing system, synchronize weighing information with the loading settlement system, and feed back loading information to the cloud metering control center; at the same time, it receives loading information fed back by the cloud metering control center and feeds it back to the loading settlement system;

[0013] The cloud metering control method includes the following steps:

[0014] Step 1: Single-certificate logistics: Using a combination of ID card verification and facial recognition technology, customers follow the company's WeChat official account and complete online information submission under the control of the cloud measurement control center. This completes the process of picking up goods, ensuring vehicle and personnel security checks upon entry, weighing and metering, card reading and loading, factory release, document download / printing, data confirmation, and real-time application of business processes all in one single certificate.

[0032] S11: Customers of the trucking pickup and delivery service follow the company's WeChat official account, bind their mobile phone number and ID number to the cloud metering control system, and fill in their information online to make a pickup appointment. The driver uses AI facial recognition at the gate at the scheduled time, and the shipping department uses the vehicle inspection app to conduct a safety check on people and vehicles entering the factory. Once the information matches, the driver only needs to swipe his ID card to complete the one-stop self-service logistics of the weighing system, loading and unloading, factory inspection, and document printing / downloading.

[0033] S12: Customers of bulk material inbound and outbound business follow the company's WeChat public account, bind their mobile phones and ID card numbers or the ship's ship verification code to the cloud metering management and control system, and determine the authority of customers and carriers by customer, type and unit. After the water and pipeline transportation of oil products and refined and sold products, the meter operator completes the data confirmation in the metering management system, and pushes it to the cloud metering management and control system after verification to complete the data interaction. The customer or carrier logs in to the cloud metering management and control system with the ID card number and signs the order using the cloud confirmation method, and downloads and prints the metering order in the cloud management and control system or prints the metering document with the ID card; metering operators and managers can use the authority based on the appointment number to see the operation process of each metering business and the process of generating each metering data in the cloud metering management and control center and the cloud metering management and control system.

[0034] Preferably, the self-service metering in step 2 includes the following steps:

[0035] S21: The export of refined oil products is regulated by customs. Manual on-site tank measurement and inspection carries risks related to operator safety and occupational health, production organization optimization, and measurement accuracy. With the maturity and widespread use of mass flowmeter technology, the innovative use of flowmeters for export oil products is gradually being recognized by customs. Using monitoring systems to achieve remote cloud-based monitoring of exported refined oil products is a goal of government-enterprise cooperation and innovation to improve efficiency.

[0036] S22: The on-site signal of the mass flow meter enters the DCS system of the cloud measurement control center through the data bus. The data is uploaded to the real-time database via the local area network. Through the Internet WEB publishing technology, customs officers use dedicated computers equipped with a VPN system to log in to the export refined oil rapid identification management information system according to the set permissions. With one click, they can complete the supervision of the operating status of the mass flow meter and remote access to the measurement data during the loading process. By optimizing the supervision method, the factory time is saved, and real-time and efficient supervision is carried out to improve the customs clearance speed.

[0037] Preferably, the three-dimensional control in step three includes the following steps:

[0038] S31: Build comprehensive and three-dimensional management and control of metering business throughout the entire process, achieving four goals: First, metering personnel can remotely monitor the entire process of business entry and exit plans, appointment information, business processes, and metering data through the cloud metering dashboard, realizing centralized control of operation progress; second, automatic metering is achieved through the weighing system and loading settlement system, and the on-site metering process of each vehicle is monitored in real time to achieve centralized control of the operation process; third, the vehicle status and driver operation behavior are monitored at any time through video monitoring, and remote guidance is achieved through voice intercom with the on-site personnel, realizing centralized control of operators and metering personnel; quantitative loading through flow meters realizes green and environmentally friendly loading and efficient factory metering of oil products, liquid sulfur, and asphalt;

[0088] Example 3:

[0089] Ensuring the effective application of cloud metering management and control requires the improvement of supporting monitoring measures, primarily encompassing the following five areas: Improve access control monitoring: Link information between the access control system and the cloud metering system through an interface. Gatekeepers and vehicle inspection departments will conduct online security checks for entry, exit, and before, during, and after loading and unloading via the vehicle inspection app. AI facial recognition ensures that identification matches identity and prevents unauthorized personnel from entering the factory. Optimize video surveillance: By adding new video surveillance and optimizing existing video surveillance angles, on-site monitoring measures will be improved, with centralized display in the central metering room. Meter operators will be able to centrally monitor and view the video systems installed in all major metering areas throughout the factory, recording and capturing footage of on-site weighing, loading / unloading, shipping / receiving, and automated metering processes. Enhance operation log monitoring: Set, authorize, and approve operational permissions for users with different roles in relevant positions. By recording event codes and text descriptions, operational traces and abnormal event analysis and processing will be monitored. Implement voice prompt intercom monitoring: Through on-site system voice prompts and remote interaction with the central metering room, drivers can be directed, guided, and prompted to perform metering operations as required, and metering personnel can remotely answer questions raised by drivers. Strengthen monitoring of data sources for single-source measurement and single-source accounting: The measurement values ​​of the weighing system or loading settlement system will be pushed to the intermediate table in a timely manner. The cloud metering system will obtain data from the intermediate table, generate a measurement order, and then send the measurement values ​​to the metering management system, ensuring that the data used for measurement, statistics, analysis, and application are from the same source, and ensuring monitoring of single-source measurement and single-source accounting.

[0090] After weighing on the scales and loading and shipping with flowmeters, vehicle weighing and flowmeter data are pushed to an intermediate table in real time. The cloud metering system retrieves each measurement data from the intermediate table and generates a metering order. The data flows in two directions: first, it is pushed to the ERP for sales settlement; second, it is pushed to the access control system for factory inspection and release; and third, it is pushed to the metering management system for comparison and analysis. Once the data from multiple points is confirmed to be consistent, the metering management system pushes the data to the MES for production statistics. Upstream and downstream business processes are vertically connected, and metering data is transmitted horizontally. The entire information and data chain for inbound and outbound business is information-based, process-based, and automated. Metering personnel control the accuracy and completeness of metering information and data from the source through management and control. All data is interconnected within the enterprise and shared externally with customers and carriers.

[0091] Each business unit obtains various types of measurement data from the cloud measurement system as needed, and builds a multi-dimensional data service application system. Cloud measurement management and control fully utilizes the vitality and effectiveness of basic measurement data to support corporate production and operation, reduce costs and increase efficiency. Big data helps companies achieve high-quality development.

[0092] Cloud data applications help improve the quality and efficiency of reports: users complete the information filling of delivery business online through cloud metering, canceling the paper version of the delivery note. After the metering business is completed, cloud metering generates the metering value and uses electronic metering certificates to transmit metering data online. The metering sheet is automatically distributed to sales, finance, users and other departments and units for use by all parties. At the end of each day's business, the metering staff organizes, verifies, saves and archives the electronic metering sheet. At the same time, all the financial golden tax invoice numbers, sales invoice numbers, enterprise ERP sales order numbers, delivery order numbers, metering sheet numbers, appointment order numbers, metering sheet electronic attachments, etc. are automatically matched and summarized in the cloud metering system and electronically archived with the archive system. The use of electronic documents effectively prevents problems such as document forgery, document loss and document transmission errors. Management and control builds a safe barrier for accurate and reliable metering data. At the same time, the electronic one-stop interconnection of metering, storage and transportation, sales, finance, archives and other businesses fully utilizes the comprehensive service role of metering data cloud metering.

[0093] The cloud confirmation of measurement data and the download of electronic measurement orders reduce the round-trip time for customers to manually sign measurement orders. Relevant units obtain measurement orders in the cloud measurement system at the first time, which greatly shortens the transmission time of measurement data, improves the efficiency of monthly ERP operations, and implements the requirements of the headquarters' "Notice on Carrying out Special Work to Improve the Quality and Efficiency of Reports". At the same time, in order to promote process optimization to the business end and improve the level of informatization and automation, we strive to give full play to the effectiveness of measurement services one day in advance when financial statements are issued.

[0094] The cloud metering control method has created a new model for enterprise metering management, opened up new ideas for metering management, excavated new roles for metering management, and stimulated new driving forces for metering management. It has provided a practical and feasible solution for metering management of other refining and chemical companies. It has a strong demonstration and promotion effect in Sinopec, and has achieved the automation of inbound and outbound business operations and the improvement of the efficiency of centralized management and application of metering data, achieving significant economic, management and social benefits.

Water transportation and pipeline transportation and other businesses have achieved electronic cloud confirmation. The zero-wait transmission of electronic measurement orders has accelerated the application of measurement data and the progress of financial settlement, which is conducive to the company's capital recovery and financial expense management. Based on a monthly sales revenue of 5 billion yuan, if the settlement is made at least two days in advance that month, the bank's interest income can be increased by about 953,400 yuan, and the annual financial expenses can be saved by more than 11.44 million yuan.

[0099] 2. Save printing management costs

[0100] The change of delivery notes and measurement sheets from paper versions to electronic documents can save more than 100,000 yuan in paper printing costs each year, while also meeting the company's new requirements for green, low-carbon and energy-saving measurement management.

[0101] 3. Save labor costs

[0102] The metrology personnel are optimized and centralized in the office. The number of operators is reduced from the current 30 to 15. While optimizing human resources, it solves the problem of irregular metrology employment, and can save 1.8 million yuan in labor costs each year (15 people, each person is calculated at 120,000 yuan / year, 15 people * 120,000 yuan / year = 1.8 million yuan / year).

[0103] The inbound and outbound business adopts a cloud-based metering control and management model, achieving an economic benefit of 13.34 million yuan per year in financial, printing, cost and other management expenses.

[0104] (2) Management benefits

[0105] 1. Promote the management and improvement of effective prevention and control of measurement risks

[0106] The scientific implementation of automatic metering, remote monitoring, and centralized management has solved the contradiction between the requirement of two-person positions (one operator and one supervisor) in direct metering operations and insufficient staffing. A measurement safety barrier has been built using physical isolation methods. Contactless automatic metering and remote control have effectively prevented the integrity risks of window positions and the current epidemic risks. At the same time, it has provided favorable conditions for enterprises to standardize the employment of metering business in accordance with the management requirements of the headquarters, ensuring that the employment of metering business is in compliance with the law.

[0107] 2. Promote the management and improvement of in-depth application of measurement data

[0108] Logistics is carried out offline, data flows online, users have to run less errands, operations are more optimized, and information and data interaction between systems is horizontal and vertical. Enterprises establish and improve measurement data sharing mechanisms and full life cycle management, strengthen online monitoring, comparison and confirmation, statistical analysis, real-time transmission, and interactive application of measurement data, and truly give play to the inherent vitality and efficiency of measurement data in enterprise production and operation, which empowers measurement and adds intelligence to operations.

[0109] 3. Promote management improvement of measurement information technology progress

[0110] Through innovative thinking, top-level design, overall planning, and coordinated promotion, we apply information technologies such as big data, artificial intelligence, and Internet+ to metrology business, realizing digital measurement, application integration, and real-time perception, helping enterprises improve the quality and efficiency of production and operation, reducing work intensity, and improving work efficiency and quality, contributing metrology power to the construction of digital and intelligent factories that integrate green, smart, efficient, precise, harmonious, and sustainable development.

[0111] 4. Promote team building and management improvement of metrology culture

[0112] It has realized the transformation from traditional measurement to innovative measurement, from manual measurement to intelligent measurement, and from decentralized measurement to centralized measurement, strengthened the ability of technical management personnel to conduct accurate analysis and precise management, and promoted the transformation of measurement operators from one person, one post, and single-point measurement to one person with comprehensive capabilities in multiple posts, which is conducive to the training of measurement personnel and the cultivation of measurement talents.

[0113] (3) Social benefits

[0114] 1. Improved user satisfaction

[0115] In cloud metering management, the combination of automatic metering and centralized control has reduced the metering time of a single motor vehicle from the original 5 minutes to the current zero waiting time. By simplifying the process, it greatly saves drivers the time of handling formalities and waiting in long queues. Short-distance transport drivers can increase one batch of business volume every day, and long-distance transport can guarantee one round-trip business every day, which improves the vehicle's transportation capacity and transportation costs.

[0116] 2. Enhanced the corporate service image

[0117] Through remote metering and online data confirmation, the settlement time of water transport and pipeline transportation services has been reduced from the original 2 hours to the current zero waiting time, shortening the time for water transport metering and signing orders, and speeding up the speed of ship berthing and oil product clearance.

[0118] The present invention can be widely used in metering management systems.
