Use Case: Digitization of Access Management with Intrinsically Safe Tablets from ecom

Advances in commerce and technology have pushed companies to also change at a rapid pace. This effect can be seen in the number of companies that have begun digitizing their processes or have already done so. Existing analog processes are gradually being replaced by more efficient digital solutions. These updates can significantly increase process efficiency, while providing fast and easy access to all relevant data and information.

This use case examines a common situation: a company from South Korea needs a suitable digital platform to manage its digital access. As part of the petrochemical industry, this company is also looking for a mobile device that will interface seamlessly with the digital platform.

The new digital access management system must simplify the management of access authorizations to the company's own petrochemical plants, not only for its own employees, but also for suppliers or service providers. Until now, the data required for access authorization, such as the expected duration and exact location within the plant, was recorded manually and passed on in paper form to the respective plant managers for approval. Depending on the location and workload of the plant manager, this authentication process often resulted in long delays.

The new digital SHE platform has been designed to significantly speed up and streamline this process. When plant managers receive the access requests from external workers, all of the relevant information is included digitally, which means that managers can approve the requests in real time, regardless of location. As an added advantage, this system can provide the company with a detailed overview of the people who have entered the plant, the duration of their approved access, and their reasons for being on site.

The Tab-Ex® tablet was selected to integrate with the SHE, because it meets all of these requirements easily, while providing additional benefits, like a large display size and an Android operating system. Its LTE and 4G connectivity provides service that is independent of WLAN, even in remote locations. Tab-Ex® supports Samsung Knox, which is the most popular cybersecurity solution on the South Korean market. Around seventy Tab-Ex® tablets now support the digital authentication workflows in the petrochemical plants... continue with the full use case
