Case Study: Koch Fertilizer lowers employee risk and boosts operational integrity with Percepto

Koch Fertilizer lowers employee risk, enhances operational integrity with Percepto

The customer, Koch Fertilizer, faced the challenge of employee exposure to monotonous and dangerous tasks, such as inspecting rail cars and scaling a 190-foot tower, which also consumed entire shifts. Seeking to lower risk and overhead at its Enid, Oklahoma plant, the company turned to vendor Percepto and its Percepto AIM autonomous inspection and monitoring solution.

Percepto's multi-mission drone system automated critical asset inspections, pond level monitoring, and security assessments. This eliminated the need for employees to perform hazardous duties, thereby boosting safety and operational integrity. The solution allowed mission operators to conduct daily monitoring flights, with the system automatically alerting technicians to potential anomalies so issues could be mitigated immediately, preventing minor problems from escalating.
