Industrial sites, often perceived as veritable labyrinths, present indisputable navigation challenges in terms of safety. Without proper orientation, service providers and carriers can waste precious time searching for their destination.
Let’s take a look at the testimony of a Slovakian driver arriving at an industrial site:
“Today, to find my way around an industrial site, I’m given a paper map. I set off with the map on my steering wheel. They show me the second on the left and the one at the end on the right… but I’m wrong!
I can’t make any sense of it, there’s roadworks everywhere. I turn back, stuck with my trailer almost in a barrier. A guy gets agitated, but I can’t understand French.
I’ve been looking for this quay for 30 minutes. I finally find it. I want to smoke a cigarette… What do you mean we’re not allowed to? I finally unloaded in 2 hours, I should have left a long time ago… “
Eloquent, isn’t it? This testimonial puts into perspective what your service providers may have to deal with, depending of course on the context and the dangerousness of the site.
As safety is an absolute priority on industrial sites, it is crucial to note that, according to CARSAT, 70% of traffic-related accidents occur on the host site.
Efficient guidance and enhanced safety measures are essential to reduce traffic incidents and optimise industrial operations.
An innovative solution has been put in place to address these issues by the company PrivaMap, whose mantra is to Guide and Protect:
This solution uses QR codes or SMS links to enable professional operators to access PrivaMap geoguidance directly on their smartphone, with no downloading required.
Thanks to a dedicated GPS system in 15 languages, it can be used to direct staff in compliance with safety standards.
It also includes the ability to alert security posts and vice versa, enhancing communication and responsiveness in the event of an incident. Industrial sites are meticulously mapped, including all access points, loading/unloading zones, containment points and other key infrastructures.
For a host site, managing transport flows is crucial to maintaining an optimal climate of safety and productivity. That’s why PrivaMap enables site managers to Supervise, Orient and Alert their service providers and visitors.
