What They Say About Us


"The implementation of e-Track's key management systems has significantly improved our LOTO procedures, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency across our facilities. The seamless integration and user-friendly interface have made adoption smooth for our employees." 



The e-Track Solution Ensures Enhanced Safety and Efficiency for Cummins.


Challenge 1: LOTO Key Management


Manual LOTO key management posed risks to employee safety and operational efficiency during maintenance and repair activities. 


Solution: Tailored System


e-Track provided advanced key management systems tailored to Cummins' specific needs. The systems were integrated with existing access control infrastructure, ensuring compatibility with security protocols. Features included biometric access control, real-time monitoring, and comprehensive audit trails for tracking key usage. 


 

Challenge 2: Disruption to Sites


Implementing a solution across multiple sites while minimising disruption. 


Solution: Phased Approach


A phased approach was adopted, starting with a pilot program at one site to test functionality and user experience. Following successful pilot results, the e-Track system was progressively rolled out across multiple Cummins facilities. Extensive training sessions were conducted to familiarise employees with the new system. 


 

Challenge 3: Reliability and Support


They required ongoing system reliability and support which needed to be ensured before progressing.


Solution: Continous Support Services


e-Track provided continuous support and maintenance services, addressing technical issues promptly and ensuring smooth operation of the key management systems across all implemented sites. 




Key Results


  • Enhanced safety: Reduced risk of unauthorised access to LOTO keys, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. 


  • Improved efficiency: Streamlined key management processes, minimising downtime and improving operational efficiency. 


  • Centralised control: Facilitated centralised tracking and control of LOTO keys across multiple sites. 


  • Auditability: Maintained comprehensive audit trails for key usage and access history, enhancing accountability and compliance. 


  • Data-driven decision-making: Generated detailed reports and analytics, enabling better identification of bottlenecks and process improvements. 


Cummins' adoption of e-Track systems serves as a best practice example for the industrial power sector, demonstrating how to optimise key management processes across multiple sites while prioritising safety and efficiency.
