The Challenge
The company faced the challenge of integrating EHS at over 300 global sites following a major M&A event. This required a cohesive strategy that included phased transition planning, stakeholder outreach and training, and systematic global implementation. The company needed global EHS/IT system training capabilities to reflect its footprint by region, time zones and languages to minimize costs and travel and meet local needs. They also needed an effective training and implementation plan to facilitate the adoption of a new EHS management system at integration sites, and site-specific support with in-person or Webinar-based training.
About The Customer
The customer is a Fortune 500 company with a global footprint, having sites in over 175 countries. The company focuses on advanced technology for digital process integration. Following a major business merger and acquisition event, the company needed to integrate EHS at over 300 global sites. This required a cohesive strategy that included phased transition planning, stakeholder outreach and training, and systematic global implementation.
The Solution
The company implemented a tailored four-part training program to successfully integrate site data and users, and launch Benchmark EHS applications. The training program included training preparation overview and plan, phase 1 kickoff/introduction call with a focus on core EHS/IT system features, phase 2-3 introduction to Gensuite applications in established priority order, and phase 4 follow-up sessions to extend training. The company also scheduled weekly/bi-weekly reviews with EHS integration leaders. The company also implemented a systematic introduction, transition and training plan, a unified system for all key EHS management processes, a global training program with regional in-person sessions, and a monthly review schedule for progress tracking, feedback and update communication.

Leveraging the IoT to Gain a Competitive Edge in International Competition
Many large manufacturers in and outside Japan are competing for larger market share in the same space, expecting a growing demand for projectors in the areas of entertainment, which requires glamor and strong visual performance as well as digital signage that can attract people’s attention. “It is becoming more and more difficult to differentiate ourselves with stand-alone hardware products,” says Kazuyuki Kitagawa, Director of Service & Support at Panasonic AVC Networks. “In order for Panasonic to grow market share and overall business, it is essential for us to develop solutions that deliver significant added value.” Panasonic believes projection failure and quality deterioration should never happen. This is what and has driven them to make their projectors IoT-enabled. More specifically, Panasonic has developed a system that collects data from projectors, visualizes detailed operational statuses, and predicts issues and address them before failure occurs. Their projectors are embedded with a variety of sensors that measure power supply, voltage, video input/ output signals, intake/exhaust air temperatures, cooling fan operations, and light bulb operating time. These sensors have been used to make the projector more intelligent, automatically suspending operation when the temperature rises excessively, and automatically switching light bulbs. Although this was a great first step, Panasonic projectors were still not equipped with any capability to send the data over a network.
