Case Study
Digitizing Process Safety to Reduce Risk and Increase Uptime in Hazardous Operations
Overview
Process manufacturers operating in hazardous environments require accurate, real-time, and validated data to maintain safety, compliance, and uptime. Paper-based inspections and audits delay decision-making, introduce errors, and weaken audit trails—especially in Class I Div 1 / ATEX-IECEx Zone 1 areas where standard mobile devices cannot be used.
The Challenge
- Manual, paper-based safety rounds and audits create delays and transcription errors
- Limited real-time access to subject matter experts (SMEs)
- Alarm and alert overload without risk-based context
- Compliance requires secure, authenticated, time- and location-stamped records
- Conventional tablets and phones are prohibited in hazardous zones
The Solution
EHS & Risk Management Software – Platform
A cloud-based EHS and Risk Management system that digitizes audits, inspections, and risk assessments into a centralized, validated risk registry with real-time visibility and automated action tracking.
