Since 2018, Nordex professionals have relied on TECH EHS to enhance their digital capabilities. Initially adopting Contractor Management Software, they later implemented digital Permit-to-Work to streamline operations in the renewable energy sector.
As maintenance evolves, permit systems must keep pace with changing goals. Recognizing gaps in their system, Nordex experts sought improvements in their procedures for permit issuance. They recognized the risks of paper-based permitting, which can lead to a complacent “checkbox mentality” among workers, undermining critical thinking.
They often rush through a repetitive process, leading to a perception that permitting is meaningless, with Supervisors or Lead Operators risking errors. With regulations dictating signed permits for each task, managing over 100 permits daily became cumbersome. The paper-based process impacted productivity and safety, lacking centralized monitoring.
In February 2020, they approached TECH EHS for an automated permit system. TECH EHS responded with e-PTW, allowing custom forms, workflows, and approvals. After implementation, Nordex saw improved permit management. Safety professionals accessed data quickly, and mobile solutions streamlined operations. The mobile solution identified risk hazards and necessary precautions through handheld devices, emphasizing the task’s sensitivity.
The software rollout was swiftly completed within two weeks of initial contact.
