Case Study: UPM Biochemicals enhances safe permit-to-work management with IAMTech iPermit

UPM Biochemicals streamlines 500-user permit control with IAMTech

UPM Biochemicals, a global innovator in renewable materials, faced a challenge in managing work safety at its new biorefinery in Leuna, Germany. With a complex, high-tech facility and up to 500 users and contractors, its traditional paper-based permit-to-work system could not meet safety, compliance, and operational demands. The company required a digital solution to enhance safety protocols, reduce delays, and manage high volumes of simultaneous work, leading them to implement IAMTech's iPermit electronic permit-to-work software.

IAMTech worked closely with UPM to tailor the iPermit platform to the specific needs of the greenfield biorefinery. The solution included full system configuration, custom forms, Single Sign-On integration, and bilingual support. The implementation was smooth and efficient, with IAMTech enhancing the software to align with UPM's unique workflows. The system provided valuable flexibility for adding new work locations and improved real-time visibility and coordination, with UPM planning to use new plot plan visualization tools for further spatial safety control.
