Energy
The broader energy sector, including fossil generation and large utilities, is defined by critical infrastructure reliability and the persistent challenge of knowledge transfer from an aging workforce. You must manage procedures for complex maintenance and start-up tasks that are often out of date, and reliance on "tribal knowledge" introduces significant operational and safety risks. Maintaining high integrity in maintenance procedures for critical assets, such as substations, is paramount to avoiding costly downtime.
ATR's procedure management software enforces adherence to established industry standards and directly addresses the knowledge gap. By providing easy online access to procedures and automatically generating training content from SOPs, ATR SmartProcedures delivers the information your employees need to perform efficiently and safely, reducing safety risks and improving equipment reliability. This level of standardization and governance across the entire generation fleet ensures consistent execution of procedures across different sites.
Refining
Refining operations face intense regulatory pressure under process safety management (PSM), where procedure deviations can lead to catastrophic consequences. The core challenge in refining is managing the immense volume of procedures (some corporations manage 15,000+ operating procedures in a single enterprise) and ensuring absolute consistency across multiple diverse sites and shifts. Outdated SOPs trapped in word processors result in excessive administration costs, waste resources, and open the door to critical compliance citations, often regarding the failure to incorporate operating limits in their procedures.
ATR’s SmartProcedures provides electronic enforcement of standards, guaranteeing consistency and adherence to best practices across all facilities. The SmartProcedures solution simplifies complex management of change (MOC) workflows and ensures the mandatory incorporation of operating limits, making the entire procedure lifecycle secure and audit-ready, allowing compliance teams to focus on risk mitigation rather than paperwork.
Nuclear
The nuclear industry operates under zero-tolerance regulatory standards, demanding the highest level of adherence to configuration management and critical operating procedures. The consequence of error is exceptionally high, requiring a knowledge management solution that guarantees control over every document, every revision, and every worker action. Your organization must constantly mitigate aging workforce issues and the resulting loss of institutional knowledge, which poses a constant threat to operational continuity and safety. Procedures must align with stringent requirements, and you need a system that minimizes human error precursors.
ATR’s SmartProcedures enforces these strict standards by providing built-in version control and advanced electronic analysis tools (SAM) to improve content clarity. This enables the creation of highly usable, precise content, which is fundamental to any successful procedural program. By linking training directly to live procedures, you ensure that workforce competence is always aligned with the current standard, safeguarding critical infrastructure reliability.
Chemicals
ATR's SmartProcedures provides the single-source technology necessary to electronically enforce company standards while still allowing individual sites the flexibility to comply with local governmental regulations. This guarantees centralized consistency and local adaptability so your organization meets the highest standards of safety and compliance worldwide. Our connected worker solution means work is done consistently and safely anywhere around the globe.
Mining
The modern mining industry operates in some of the most physically hazardous work environments, where equipment-specific safety SOPs and mandatory requalification are constant necessities. Your primary need is for a procedure management software that can provide reliable, easily readable work instructions in remote locations with limited connectivity. Mining sites are often vast and disconnected, making paper-based systems inefficient and dangerous due to delayed updates and inaccessible content.
ATR's SmartProcedures mobile execution capabilities ensure that detailed maintenance and safety procedures are available for use and tracking in the field, even with no internet connection. This offline capability eliminates the risk of workers using outdated documentation. Our procedure management solution enforces accountability through mandatory digital sign-offs and automatically captures performance data like user ID and GPS location for every completed step. This provides the audit trail necessary to document that safety procedures were followed for specific equipment and tasks, helping you mitigate regulatory liability and ensuring maximum worker safety.
