RFID Solutions for Hazardous Environments
Key Risks in Chemical Batch Handling
For process manufacturers handling corrosive materials, I metodi manuali creano pericolose inefficienze:
🚨 1/8 of Batches Contaminated: Caused by Wrong Reactor Feedstock (ACS Chemical Safety Data)
⏳ 68% of Non-Productive Time: Field Technicians Walking Between Reactors Performing Manual Inspections
💥 $2.4 Million Average Incident Cost: From Improper Material Handling in Ex Areas
“One batch misidentification shut us down for 3 settimane. RFID’s zone monitoring prevents it from happening again.”
– Plant Manager, Specialty Chemicals Producer
Why RFID Beats Manual Tracking in Corrosive Environments?
