Energy
Most large industrial complexes run on a 24/7/365 basis but the energy industry is unique in how rapidly and directly the general public is impacted when operational difficulties force an unplanned interruption of service. Everyone within a large geographic area can experience some degree of discomfort when “the power goes off” and some impacts (such as a bed ridden person at home on a ventilator) can be life threatening. In addition, the safety and regulatory requirements mandated by governmental agencies (such as OSHA and the NRC) are perhaps greater in the energy industry than any other. Finally, the public scrutiny that goes into changes in operations at a power plant and proposed plant expansions is tremendous. Just think what press coverage will be when the next grass roots nuclear power plant is built within the United States. If you are working within this industry can your department?
- Rapidly find, retrieve and produce for use documents such as P&IDs and safety procedures anywhere within the organization when needed,
- Manage and record – in real time - the unique activities required within the plant to safely respond to operator inspections and maintenance dispatches.
- Plan, engineer, schedule and conduct both planned turnarounds and plant expansion projects efficiently and safely while meeting budget, schedule and workmanship expectations.
- Provide both turnaround management teams and operations management teams with the information they need (from executive level dashboards to drill down details) to make sound business and technical decisions as questions arise throughout the turnaround.
- Record in the field (and rapidly produce for proof when audited) critical details (such as the results of laboratory tests and field operator procedures checklists) needed to verify compliance to your plant’s safe management practices.
If managing tasks like these is carrying a high administrative cost or is taking away from time spent in the field (or even worse time invested with your family at home) then perhaps it is time for you to investigate the power of ATSER software solutions.
