At Litum, we’re always proud to partner with industry leaders that are committed to innovation, safety, and operational excellence. One such collaboration is with NMDC, a leading company that has embraced cutting-edge technology to revolutionize workforce safety and efficiency.
In a recent success story, NMDC deployed our Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS) at their Musaffah yard, empowering them to track and manage over 3,000 employees in real-time. The results? Zero work-related accidents, no project delays, and over $1 million in cost savings. These achievements reflect the powerful synergy between our technology and NMDC’s dedication to safety and operational sustainability.
In this blog, we’re taking a closer look at how our partnership with NMDC unfolded, the role of RTLS in their operations, and what this means for the future of workforce safety.
The Challenge: Safety in Dynamic, High-Risk Environments
NMDC’s Musaffah yard operates in a fast-paced, high-risk environment, where the potential for accidents and delays is a daily concern. Like many large-scale industrial operations, managing worker safety while maintaining efficiency is a delicate balancing act.
Traditional yard operations often expose workers to hazards, including entering high-risk zones or not receiving timely alerts when emergencies occur. Additionally, without real-time visibility, NMDC faced challenges in optimizing resource allocation, leading to potential delays in projects.
The Solution: Litum’s Real-Time Location Systems (RTLS)
To overcome these challenges, NMDC turned to Litum’s Connected Workforce solution powered by RTLS. By implementing this technology, NMDC was able to monitor employee movements and locations in real time, ensuring that any proximity to danger zones triggered an immediate alert. The wearable devices provided to the workforce warn workers when they approach hazardous areas, while health, safety, and environment (HSE) teams receive instant notifications to intervene as necessary.
But safety wasn’t the only area improved. With RTLS, NMDC has enhanced its resource allocation processes, optimizing their workforce distribution and increasing overall productivity. This scalable, sophisticated solution not only reduces incident risks but also streamlines operations in ways that were previously impossible.
The Results: Zero Accidents, No Delays, and $1M in Savings
The results of the RTLS deployment at NMDC’s Musaffah yard are clear and impactful:
- Zero work-related accidents: Thanks to the real-time alerts and wearable safety devices, NMDC successfully prevented workplace accidents that are common in high-risk environments.
- No project delays: RTLS allowed NMDC to maintain smooth operations without interruptions, leading to on-time project delivery.
- Over $1 million in savings: By reducing the risk of accidents and optimizing resource allocation, NMDC achieved significant cost savings, contributing directly to their bottom line.
A Partnership Built on Innovation and Safety
Our collaboration with NMDC is a shining example of how technology and industry partnerships can drive meaningful change. NMDC’s commitment to safety and sustainability perfectly aligns with Litum’s mission to provide innovative, scalable solutions that protect workforces and improve operational efficiency.
We are excited to continue supporting NMDC’s journey as they roll out this solution across more of their facilities. Together, we are not only raising the bar but setting new benchmarks in safety and efficiency for the industry.
