Emission Tracking System – A Breakthrough in the EHS Industry

We live in a world where environmental protection and sustainability play an important role. Today, governments and enterprises pay close attention to EHS issues, putting a lot of effort into the improvement of business sustainability, workers’ health conditions, and safety performances in the workplace. 

Environment, Health & Safety (EHS) is a set of processes, rules, standards, and regulations aimed at the protection of the environment, company employees, and society from any damage.

Softengi developed a comprehensive EHS software solution for Enviance, an EHS software vendor, which was serving more than 400 clients globally. In 2020, Enviance was acquired by Cority, a major EHS management vendor and one of the market leaders, according to Vendantix. Both companies focus on the management of companies’ EHS performance and environmental compliance. 

During a long partnership with Enviance, for more than 17 years, Softengi designed a complex cloud-based solution that involves emission tracking, waste management, incident management, and environmental compliance tools to enhance the companies’ EHS performance. Among Enviance clients were such major enterprises as Walmart, DuPont, Chevron, Valero, Syngenta, and AEP. 

Challenges and Objectives 

Today, in most countries, governments and authorities are very strict about companies running sustainable businesses, controlling emissions, and adhering to EHS regulations. So, a lot of companies experience many difficulties with regulatory compliance and EHS performance management, which, as a result, forces more and more companies to invest in EHS process automation solutions.

Air Emission Management System 

Using data mining technology, the software tracks and monitors air emissions, identifying problematic areas and anomalies in real-time. On the basis of the input data, which can be gathered from various sensors or from internal document systems, the operational model can estimate emissions, identify warning signs of potential issues, allowing to preemptively resolve them before they occur, significantly reducing human intervention. 

Wastewater Management System

The Enviance software provides a wastewater management solution to better maintain and sustain asset infrastructure. The solution provides access to all water and wastewater data visualised on one centralized platform, which allows companies to get a better overview of wastewater management, and thereby find ways to significantly reduce the wastage of water by performing balances and analyzing output and consumption in real time.

Incident Management System 

The environment management software also includes an incident management system, which allows to effectively perform such tasks as a proactive prediction of incidents, in-depth incident analysis, and root-cause assessment. Moreover, the system is able to find the most suitable corrective actions for each specific case. 

Waste Management System 

The embedded waste management system tracks companies’ waste generation, storage, and disposal of hazardous wastes. The system helps to efficiently manage waste collection and its utilization by automating service management, logistics, and invoicing. 

GHG and Carbon Management System

Reducing the output of greenhouse emissions is one of the main priorities of most companies today. The in-build carbon management system allows to track greenhouse emissions across entire enterprises, analyze companies’ carbon footprint, and discover new ways to significantly cut the emissions.
