Global Electronics Manufacturer A

Realization of data-based environment/safety/health system

Challenge

There are more and more severe accidents related to environment & safety in industries including fire, explosion, leakage and fall. Accordingly, related regulations in Korea and overseas continue to be strengthened. That highlights the importance of corporate environment, safety and health. However, the client who runs multiple workplaces in Korea and overseas, has different processes and different levels of management of the EHS (environment, health and safety)-related system. It took a lot of time and cost to respond Korean and overseas regulations while figuring out the management levels in environment, safety and health.

For improvement, the client needed restructuring its existing system into an enterprise-wide and systematic global standard system. The client requested the standardization of the work process the EHS system that already exists, preparation of a new technology-based environment & safety platform that can adopt data and work environment from numerous workplaces in Korea and overseas, and functions to respond to legal regulations in Korea and overseas and prevent environment & safety accidents.

Transformation

The client’s system has been restructured into a global standard system based on the EHS-exclusive platform.

ㆍ Standardize the EHS work processes and modularize unit work. The unit functions for EHS work are flexibly set up to be applied depending on environments by country and workplace
ㆍ Manage ‘Rule & Workflow’ through ‘My To-do’ card so that users can implement EHS management work without missing any items
ㆍ Create the global standard Internet environment (e.g. HTML5, multi-browsing) so that user environments of Korea and overseas can be adopted.
ㆍ Create cloud infrastructure that can flexibly respond to the increase in use volume by considering the IT environment ground to apply to the global large workplaces so that multiple workplaces can process data real time
ㆍ Establish a data standard management system to improve data integrity so that users can implement data-centric EHS work
ㆍ Secure analysis ground (e.g. IoT, analytics) for CBM preventive measures by collecting operation data of environment and safety facilities with IoT-platform-based sensors and managing such data in integrated manner

Solution

SDS EHS Platform
Samsung SDS provides customized integrated EHS management solutions in order to enhance corporate EHS management level.

■ EHS Portal: Support for EHS work implementation through rules and systems by establishing a portal that considers user convenience
■ UI Framework: Providing tools and functions to develop EHS screens and establishment of a systematic management system of UI through screen and data management.
■ Rule & Workflow: Providing workplaces that implement work items focusing on ‘to-do-list’
■ APIM: management of EHS-like legacy system, internal work module and requests of interface between various systems (e.g. external organizations) through standardization
■ Modularity: Possible to create modules for necessary work so that the work can be delivered to clients depending on partners’ business size
■ Cloud: Possible to select cloud environments depending on clients’ circumstances (Private/Public cloud)

Benefit

The Global electronics manufacturer has established the intergrated EHS system, which enhances the level of environment, safety and health work in Korea and overseas. Also, it was the good possibility to enhance responsive capability for laws and regulations based on data collection and analysis. The monitoring for risk factors in workplaces enabled the company to secure a preventive system while pursing ‘risk zero’ in workplaces.
