  • Health, Safety and Environment (HSE)
    Ensuring safety through-out your manufacturing process
    Working with IBM C&P, you get efficient and cost effective tools to help you monitor assets throughout the manufacturing process and prevent damage and loss. Our solution helps you gain virtual real-time visibility of employees, contractors and authorized individuals within your chemical or petroleum enterprise.

Location Awareness Safety (LAS) is your solution for faster response and reduced loss

Today, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology makes it possible for chemical and petroleum companies to operate more safely by securing and monitoring key facilities – and reacting quickly if incidents occur.

Our LAS solution based on RFID technology is designed to help you:

  • Increase safety of workers, contractors and visitors with virtual real-time alerts when unauthorized individuals pass through hazardous zones.
  • Instantly pinpoint personnel and rescuer locations during emergencies by detecting RFID signals from personnel ID badges.
  • Speed up rescue efforts with real-time location awareness of people and assets
  • Strengthen security with reliable, virtual real-time tracking of equipment and materials.
  • Improve maintenance operations and turnaround efficiency
  • Meet government and industry regulatory requirements with extensive track and trace capabilities
  • Reduce manual tasks by automatically updating personnel certifications, authorizations and other tracking information.

The solution works with Wi-Fi, ultra wide band, and ultrasound and supports all major manufacturers of both tags and sensors.
