Smart Safety Control

The solution collects data from various sensors/devices, monitors them in real time, automatically detects dangerous situations on site, and disseminates that information to safety managers and field workers. It also supports control and remediation activities with real-time field control, which enables immediate safety actions in the event of a hazardous situation.

Safety Control Process
STEP 1 Identify risk targets

Identify targets where hazards can occur, such as locations, equipment, workers, and work details.

STEP 2 Monitor and detect risks
  • Monitor identified risk targets.
  • Automatically detect risks with smart technology.
STEP 3 Disseminate, control and follow up
  • Disseminate and control anomalies or hazards in real time.
  • Support corrective and preventive activities.
