Surveying & Mapping the location of critical EHS Assets For Pharma Facility

Asset Survey

Asset Location

Location: Ireland
Facility Type: Pharmaceutical Production
Facility Size: 110,000 sq. mt.
Assets Surveyed: 2,012
Project Date: May 2023

PlantQuest efficiently mapped over 2,000 critical EHS assets across a 110,000 sq. mt. pharmaceutical facility in Leinster, Ireland. This initiative reduced fire extinguisher inspection times by over 50%, enhanced safety compliance, and empowered internal teams through advanced training and mapping tools. The project established a benchmark for EHS asset management by combining operational efficiency and regulatory excellence.

The Challenge Faced

A large pharmaceutical facility in Leinster, Ireland, spanning 110,000 square meters and employing over 1,200 workers, faced several challenges in managing its critical Environmental, Health, and Safety (EHS) assets. Key issues included:

The need to implement a visual mapping solution for over 2,000 critical EHS assets, including fire extinguishers, safety showers, eye wash stations, and defibrillators.
Identification of gaps or redundancies in EHS asset coverage.
Reducing dependency on specialized contractors for regulatory checks of fire extinguishers.
Developing a training program to empower in-house staff for managing EHS assets.

‍

The Solution

PlantQuest deployed an advanced asset mapping solution to address the facility's challenges. Key actions included:

Comprehensive Asset Survey: Conducted a complete survey and mapping of over 2,000 critical EHS assets within one week. The mapped data was integrated into the facility’s existing system, providing detailed information about room and area types.
Visual Mapping Technology: Introduced a multi-asset navigation tool that enabled efficient GEMBA walks and regulatory system checks.
In-house Training Program: Delivered training to staff, reducing reliance on external contractors and improving internal capabilities for EHS asset management.

The Outcome

The integration of PlantQuest’s solutions resulted in significant advancements in the facility’s EHS protocols and operational efficiency. Key outcomes included:

Improved Asset Coverage Analysis: Enhanced visual identification of gaps and overlaps in EHS asset placement.
Reduced Inspection Time: Monthly fire extinguisher checks were reduced from 2-3 days to just one day.
Operational Efficiency: Improved resource allocation and streamlined workflows for the EHS and engineering teams.
Enhanced Safety Compliance: Strengthened adherence to safety regulations and standards.
Long-term Benefits: Established new benchmarks for industrial asset management, prioritizing safety and efficiency.
