Permit-to-work

Maintenance, production, safety, quality, inspection, audits and much more procedures can be digitised with the new Augmented & Connected Worker solution.

What is a Permit-to-Work?

The permit-to-work process ensures work is done safely and that workers are aware of eventual hazards that may happen during an operation. The process guarantees reliable communication between field workers and maintenance specialists, in particular in hazardous Industries. The procedure requests, reviews, authorizes, documents, and most importantly, de-conflicts tasks to be carried out by frontline workers.

AR Mobility & Guidance

Augmented reality guides provide workers with visual data and context during process execution. At the same time, Industry 4.0 augments workers’ capabilities and safety with AR, by allowing workers to be able to execute some of the most demanding tasks.

Benefits

Of going from Paper to Digital Procedures

With these new digital tools, the permit-to-work process is made easier as information is displayed in a more visible, clearer, and more understandable way. Workers can execute a broad range of tasks regardless of their experience. In addition, managers can access data in real time and ensure that the 9-step procedure is constantly improved.
