Bayer turned to Experitec and Vantage Point, with the goals of:
- Reducing test time without compromising safety
- Adopting a repeatable, reliable solution
- Automating records
- Digitizing the validation process, wherever possible
Bayer's Results
- 80% reduction in the time needed to perform interlock checks!
- 600-page individual field device testing document – Gone!
- 150 multi-tab Excel sheets for SIF/PIF functional testing – Gone!
- Thousands of pages—now electronic—are available on the tablet when needed for reference, including: instrument specification sheets, PHA documents, SIF requirements/SIL certifications, device manuals, and loop sheets
