Exploiting the Potential of Safety Lifecycle Digitalization
Plant operators are facing challenges: shortage of skilled workers, internationalization, operating permits and pressure to increase productivity and efficiency. A new and holistic approach to digitizing the safety lifecycle now opens up new potential and helps to overcome the challenges. The technical paper compares the processes of a conventional and a digital Functional Safety Management System (FSM). Learn how you can achieve savings of up to 70% through digitalization.
