Case Study: INVISTA achieves record turnaround productivity with United Rentals and Triax location services

Invista boosts turnaround productivity to 63% with United Rentals

Invista faced the challenge of managing safety and productivity during complex plant turnarounds, where inefficiencies and a lack of visibility into worker and equipment movements often led to schedule delays and budget overruns. To transform this process, Invista collaborated with vendor United Rentals and utilized their provided connected worksite devices, specifically Spot-r clips and EquipTags from Triax Technologies.

The solution from United Rentals involved deploying a real-time location network to track personnel and equipment across the large site. This provided data to eliminate manual sign-in areas, measure productive versus non-productive time, and identify bottlenecks. The results were substantial: the plant achieved a record 63% productivity rate against an industry average of 50%, significantly improved evacuation safety, and gained actionable insights for further optimization in future operations.
