Automotive Visibility Challenges

Inventory Management

Manual searches for vehicles cause long cycle times and production disruptions

Loss and theft of expensive equipment

Work In ProgressTracking

Non-optimized process flow, long cycle times

Non-optimized part inventory replenishing processes

Under-utilized work-cells throughout production and assembly line

Auditing & reporting for financial compliance



Automotive Visibility Challenges

Lack of knowledge of parts / components departure / arrival at distributed facilities

Lack of real-time information - also used for supplier integration

Inter-SiteVisibility

Parts Replenishment Non-optimized part inventory replenishing processes

Manual communication or expensive wired call button solutions

Many Sites Present Significant Hazards to Worker Safety - That is a Fact

Ensuring worker safety is a key initiative today.



MSHA, ATEX 137 and DSEAR require site evacuation plans and regularly scheduled drills

Tracking and accounting for Personnel On Site (POS), Personnel On Board (POB) or Personnel Tagged in - is critical across many industries

Real-time tracking of all personnel during an event is critical to insure safety and is done most often done manually today with pen and paper

Muster Captains and/or Safety Wardens need to analyze muster drill results for both statutory reporting, identify training opportunities, procedure improvements and for constant improvement

Today's Challenges

21


Track all personnel on-site in real-time Monitor Refuge and Muster Points in real-time Provide a purpose-build real-time Dashboard for the Safety Warden /

Control Room personnel, with integrated ‘Muster Roll Call’ and Attendance reports

Record all events in a database for analysis and reporting

Integrate system with vehicle tracking, environmental monitoring and security systems for a complete real-time view of your site!

Best Practices for Evacuation Management

Evacuation Monitoring Overview

Dynamic counts of all personnel in the selected area by

Muster status

Evacuation Event Start: Trigger alarms, sirens,

strobes, etc.

Mustering station status indicators and

equipment profile

Evacuation Clock
