Software solutions such as Collision Resources’ CR Visual Production Manager^™ can help identify safety hazards before they lead to accidents, improving overall shop safety. Discover how this simple solution is helping make collision repairs safer.

Immediate Identification of Unsafe Work Conditions

One of the most important features of a visual production management system is its ability to automatically and continuously update data. This provides real-time visibility into production workflows and ensures that everyone is aware of unsafe working conditions so they can take necessary precautions.

Workload Monitoring to Prevent Overexertion

Visual production management systems allow you to assign work to employees based on a repair step. You can easily monitor each employee's workload and make adjustments to prevent overexertion.

Monitoring Shop Traffic and Worker Movement

Visual production management systems come with customizable dashboards that allow you to view the entire repair process right from scheduling. You can easily track office traffic and worker movement, allowing you to provide quick assistance in case of an accident.

Tracking Hazardous Material Handling

Repairing vehicles means handling dangerous equipment, chemical substances, flammable liquids, and everything in between. This creates an environment where it's easy to get hurt. With a visual production management system, you can easily track hazardous material and unsafe equipment usage to immediately pinpoint mishandling which often leads to injuries. 

Monitoring Equipment Maintenance Schedules

Equipment malfunction can lead to serious injuries. Real-time monitoring can help you detect equipment that needs maintenance to prevent sudden breakdowns which can lead to injuries.

Tracking Compliance with Safety Checklists

Having real-time visibility into production workflows helps streamline the repair process and increase workplace safety. You can easily identify safety issues, track compliance, and update safety checklists based on real-time insights.
