Case Study: Oerlikon Metco achieves reliable, cost-saving cloud visitor management with MRI OnLocation (MRI Software)

Oerlikon Metco Smart security for a safer workplace

Oerlikon Metco, a global leader in sustainable surface solutions with over 80 years of experience, was struggling with a server‑based visitor management system that caused regular outages and lengthy quarterly downtime. These disruptions pulled key staff away from their core work, compromised site security and reliability, and left the company seeking a 100% cloud solution with strong technical support to eliminate service interruptions.

After evaluating and trialing alternatives, Oerlikon Metco selected MRI OnLocation for its comprehensive capabilities—visitor management plus inductions, contractor and emergency management—eliminating several single‑use third‑party tools. The cloud rollout took about 20 hours, produced immediate cost savings, removed paper‑record errors, delivered audit‑ready training and compliance records, provided a consistent kiosk experience, and gave real‑time visibility of who is on site.
