Abstract

Ansaldo Energia is a Major Player in Italy for metal mechanic production which decided to adopt Industry 4.0 standards. One of the main projects, at this purpose, was to develop a new vision concerning Safety. The goal was achieved by a Team built specifically by the Company. Particular importance was assigned by the Team to PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), devices designed to improve safety of the Operators in carrying out their duties. The problem that the Team has clearly warned, given the frequency of occurrence, concerns the periodic maintenance of PPE, to be carried out by law for each device, according to precise rules in order to preserve their efficiency as well as safety certification. Therefore, the Team studied a new methodology, the subject of this paper, based on hardware and software tools designed to monitor the legal revisions and critical deadlines of each PPE in use.
