PowerAudit is uniquely suited to the day-to-day requirements of field data collection in manufacturing environments. The system easily handles standard EHS audit protocols, routine fire equipment inspections, facility safety inspections, behavioral based safety observations and many other data collection activities that traditionally take place using a clipboard. PowerAudit is cost effective for single inspection applications, and scalable to handle all corporate field data activities within a single system. The system can be integrated with existing applications for the seamless transfer of data from the field to corporate databases.

According to Laura Murphy, Director of Operations for KMI, “When we were first approached with this technology, the benefit to EHS managers and production supervisors was obvious. The relatively high cost and limited application of customized handheld software has always presented a barrier. PowerAudit gives EHS managers a flexible, efficient and cost-effective option for getting data from the shop floor into electronic format.”

Jeremy Rasmussen, President of Orchestral Corporation agrees, “We have successfully deployed PowerAudit across companies that had previously gathered huge amounts of inspection data manually. These companies have saved time and money while improving the quality of the data they are using to make management decisions. With KMI’s specialized knowledge and experience providing EHS information technology solutions, they have been able to configure PowerAudit in unique ways. We have been very impressed with their innovative use of this technology.”

KMI and Orchestral have an exclusive agreement for the distribution and implementation of PowerAudit for EHS data management in North America.
