Why safety management is the top-shelf challenge in the industry sector

The industrial sector is often characterized as one where the buildings, factories, offices and so on, expand over a rather large area. For most industrial companies, risk and safety management is on the top shelf of priorities as there are a lot of stakeholders that could be harmed when things take a turn for the worst. In the first place, the workers in the factories undergo major risks by working with large machinery and hazardous substances.

The headache of monitoring large multi-sites

A typical industrial site or multi-site is often the result of expansions made over several years. While expansion is profitable to the business, the tangle of different kinds of technologies and systems used in the buildings, parking area's etc. is not. The wide range of systems, from different periods in time, requires operators to be up-to-date with many interfaces and software packages. When new systems come in use, or new operators enter the picture, they need training for each and every one of the software packages. This inefficient, time-consuming and costly operation can luckily be something of the past. With our open platform Sky-Walker one can integrate, monitor and control all existing analogue and digital subsystems in to one visual environment.

How Sky-Walker minimizes safety and security risks

Our Sky-Walker open integration platform can be compared with the cockpit of an airplane. The pilot has a clear overview of all the systems and has everything in reach to keep control. Sky-Walker enables the operator to monitor and manage all safety, security and building systems in one intuitive interface. The result? Operators no longer need to have knowledge of all these interfaces, and need only be trained in one, Sky-Walker. In cases of emergency, the response times are faster and the evacuations times shorter, which benefits a sector characterized with many stakeholders and enormous environmental risks quite a bit.

A field example of Sky-Walker handling a high priority incident

There are countless situations that could happen in an industrial environment. We'll explain one example for you.

Imagine one of the most dangerous alarms that could happen in an industrial complex, a fire. When a fire is detected by a fire detector, an alarm is automatically triggered in Sky-Walker. In case of a fire alarm, which naturally has one of the highest priorities, the alarm is accompanied by a siren and a flash. A pre-configured workflow has automatically been started in which each and every step the operator has to take to evacuate and secure the area is described. Every step taken throughout the workflow can later be requested via our reporting service.

Boost the efficiency in daily operations

Sky-Walker is not only useful in crisis situations. It is used for all daily safety, security and building management as well. Think of CCTV, access control, HVAC, lighting systems, parking barriers, location observation and so on, all being monitored and managed from one central interface. 

The real time display of statistics allows management to see the current performance. Furthermore, it'spossible to investigates this even further through the usage of more detailed statistics. With the up-close monitoring of systems and machinery, NDAs can be monitored much better as well. Resulting in a boost of efficiency and ROI.

In summary, the use of Sky-Walker can benefit the industry sector in more ways than can even be written down here. The opportunities are endless. A safe, secure and comfortable environment in industrial area's does not need to be something of the future. The Sky-Walker platform will connect to all existing and future systems, resulting in a truly smart solution.
