Covestro: Shift Collaboration in Chemical Plants

Dr. Klaus Schaefer
CTO and Board Member

Covestro, a leading materials manufacturer, recognized the critical importance of effective shift handovers in their 24/7 operations. Traditionally, these handovers relied on varied systems across plants, including Excel sheets, handwritten logs, and custom programs, leading to inconsistencies and potential communication gaps. To standardize and enhance this process, Covestro implemented Shiftconnector®, a web-based digital shift log, across 90 production facilities worldwide. This transition has streamlined information transfer, improved operational efficiency, and bolstered safety by ensuring that all personnel have immediate access to accurate, up-to-date information, regardless of location
