Background
With the use of so much lifting equipment and the statuary requirements for it’s control, conventional control systems are no longer appropriate. Regulatory compliance is therefore, difficult to achieve. Previous generation paper-based systems and T-Card systems are prone to error and time consuming.
Challenge
A common challenge faced by offshore workers is the substantial amount of time spent on administrative tasks, such as booking equipment in and out, completing checklists, and generating reports. This administrative workload can detract from their primary responsibilities on deck.
Solution
Intebloc's RigWare™ system provides the required level of control and compliance in a digital solution which has been designed with end users in mind. The digital multi book-in/out feature, digital checklists, and automated report generation collectively reduce the time spent on paperwork and data entry.
Implementation
- Digital Multi Check-outs/Check-ins: This feature allows users to quickly and efficiently book equipment in and out, reducing the time spent on this task.
- Digital Checklists: Users can complete checklists digitally, eliminating the need for paper-based processes.
- Automated Report Generation: The system automatically generates reports based on the data captured, removing the need for manual report creation.
Outcome
- Time Savings: One user reported, "This has saved 2 days of my time over my 21-day trip. By using the digital multi book-in/out feature, digital checklists, as well as the reports generated from the system, this has removed my admin time significantly. I can now focus on being on deck instead of typing up reports and spreadsheets to send to my management."
- Increased Productivity: The automation of administrative tasks allows users to focus more on their core responsibilities, enhancing overall productivity.
- Improved Job Satisfaction: Users appreciate the reduced administrative burden, leading to higher job satisfaction and morale.
Conclusion
The system allows users to focus on their primary tasks, improving productivity and job satisfaction. This case study highlights the tangible benefits of adopting innovative technology in the oil and gas sector.
