‘9ID gives us a better overview of who is present and what qualifications each person has.’

Background

Driving Material Innovation and Site Safety at Envalior

Envalior is a global leader in engineering materials. With a focus on high-performance plastics and sustainable solutions, the company operates complex industrial sites that require the daily presence of a diverse external workforce to maintain operational excellence.

For Envalior, safety isn't just a protocol; it's a core value. Managing a constant flow of contractors and visitors across their facilities requires a rigorous approach to ensure that everyone on-site is qualified and accounted for at all times.

Problem

The Challenge of Real-Time Personnel Visibility

Before implementing a centralized solution, Envalior faced significant hurdles in managing site presence and safety compliance. Their primary challenges included:

• Lack of Real-Time Overview: Difficulty in maintaining a precise, live overview of every individual currently present on the industrial site.
• Qualification Tracking: Managing the specific certifications and safety qualifications of a revolving door of external contractors.
• Emergency Preparedness: The critical need for instant, accurate data on personnel locations and identities in the event of an emergency or evacuation.

Solution

Implementing 9ID for Total Site Control

Envalior partnered with 9ID to transition from manual or fragmented tracking to a unified, digital compliance ecosystem:

• Centralized Attendance Monitoring: Utilizing 9ID to maintain a live dashboard of all contractors and visitors on-site.
• Qualification Mapping: Linking every individual's profile to their specific certifications, ensuring only those with the correct training are permitted access.
• Digital Onboarding: Streamlining the collection of necessary safety documentation and personal data before a contractor even arrives at the gate.
• Emergency Response Integration: Leveraging the system's real-time data to assist safety officers during incidents or site-wide drills.

Results

Enhanced Safety and Precision in Emergency Management

The partnership with 9ID has fundamentally improved Envalior's site security and safety posture. According to Stefaan Verhelst, Safety Advisor at Envalior, the impact has been immediate and measurable.

9ID now provides Envalior with a superior overview of who is present on-site and the specific qualifications each person possesses. This granular level of detail is a game-changer for safety reasons, particularly in high-stakes environments. Most importantly, the system serves as a critical tool for emergency management, ensuring that in any crisis, the company knows exactly who is on the premises and that they are qualified to be there.
