Many companies have numerous facilities in various locations. Some of those locations may be remote and isolated. It is important to know who is visiting these facilities. Knowing their time in and time out helps all parties to be safe and accountable. In the energy industry, tracking visitors at remote substations has been a difficult task. With the ever increasing coverage of cellular towers, a text message can usually make it through. Texting is a helpful way to communicate, but without a system in place, keeping track of who’s where can be a chore. ONSITE brings organization and accountability to your remote check ins. An easy to use dashboard allows you to see all locations and who’s on site. Visitors simply select a substation to check in and touch the "Check Out" button when they leave. The control room can even message the visitor from the dashboard, all the while keeping a solid record of communications.
