Challenge	Covestro, a leading manufacturer of high-tech polymer materials, was facing challenges in standardizing its Process Hazard Analyses (PHAs) documentation. The company wanted to ensure that all its plants could access and share templates, reduce the effort spent on maintaining software and keeping hardware up to date, and have the flexibility to modify templates in accordance with changes in business and industry requirements. Additionally, Covestro wanted to improve the visibility of process safety information to enable solution evaluation and tracking. Read More
About Customer	Covestro is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of high-tech polymer materials. The company was founded in 2015 and is headquartered in Leverkusen, Germany. Covestro’s products and solutions can be found worldwide in virtually all areas of modern life. With its discovery of polyurethane, it became the birthplace of high-tech plastics, and its product line now includes adhesives, coatings, foams, plastics, composites, and films for a wide range of industries. The company has a revenue of €17.95 billion and employs 18,000 people. Besides its vision for a circular and climate-neutral future, Covestro strives to create a safe workplace. Producing and handling chemicals poses potential danger to its workforce, so the company places a high value on implementing advanced safety solutions. Read More
Solution	Covestro teamed up with Sphera to implement PHA documentation software with template matching. Sphera offered to migrate Covestro’s 10 years of accumulated data in their Stature Risk Management database over to SpheraCloudTM, a licensor-operated, cloud-based Software as a Service (SaaS) solution. The collaboration between the businesses ensured a successful go-live of Advanced Risk Assessment (ARA) in SpheraCloudTM for Covestro in mid-2021. Sphera’s cloud-based ARA solution enables enterprises to improve safety through better management of PHA documents by sharing documentation with authorities and archiving PHAs, achieving efficiencies through global access to safety studies and solutions, and bringing data from disparate systems together to improve transparency across locations and levels.
