Enhanced Security and Data Management Features Simplify Compliance Process and
Create Significant Workplace Efficiency
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- SFW LLC, an emerging leader in
developing and delivering critical facilities management (FM) tools and
services, announced today that it successfully implemented SFW Accendo(TM) at
PMX Industries (PMX), a leading producer of copper and copper alloy strip in
the United States. SFW's web-based facilities management platform
specifically resolves PMX's FM security and compliance needs.
SFW Accendo is a web-based mapping platform that incorporates dynamic
technology to create a targeted FM solution. SFW FM, the company's facility
management module, transferred PMX's existing FM information that resided in
static files and maps to an easy-to-update electronic system that stores all
critical information in one central location with direct global access. This
capability allows authorized personnel immediate, on-site access to
information and solutions, a critical feature in emergency situations.
The manufacturing of non-ferrous metals requires specific safety and
contamination compliance regulated by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (OSHA). PMX uses SFW Accendo in conjunction with SFW
Controller, the company's security module, to provide and manage enhanced
security and safety procedures that offer tools to respond immediately to
employee and environmental safety concerns. With SFW, PMX has a new way to
address emergencies quickly and effectively, reducing possible damages and
costs.
"Quite often, manufacturers become so mired in the race to produce
high-quality products that they don't realize the importance of investing in
systems that support their business from the inside," said Ofer Azoulay, CEO
and founder of SFW LLC. "By utilizing SFW's innovative Accendo platform, PMX
was able to ease key pain points for both the business and its employees."
SFW customized these two modules specifically for PMX. As a result, PMX
can now store, retrieve and manipulate critical asset information directly
onto its maps and floor plans securely over the web. With SFW Accendo in
place, PMX personnel with appropriate access rights can easily view and
instantaneously manipulate the location and information of assets such as
hazardous materials, fire extinguishers, gas shut-offs and sprinklers with a
simple click of a mouse from almost anywhere worldwide.
According to Greg Brown, director of security and safety at PMX
Industries, "PMX has created a leadership position that has helped redefine
the industry. To sustain our competitive edge as well as to better manage our
compliance efforts, we wanted to ensure our facilities were being run as
efficiently as possible. SFW's technology allows us to do this while also
solving some of our most pressing business challenges relating to security and
compliance. As a result, we are expecting significant bottom-line value."
SFW's applications are easily integrated with almost any other system or
software package. The process of integration does not disrupt an enterprise's
current or historical data. This translates into enhanced efficiency,
increased effectiveness and overall reduced costs.
