Gulf Coast construction supplier chooses N4 system

Friday, September 12, 2008

Marine and Industrial Supply, a specialist in heavy construction, ship-building and offshore oil rig work, has announced its new contract with N4 Systems. The Gulf Coast company will use N4’s automated inspection and real-time safety compliance management system, Field ID, to manage their inspection, testing, certification and repair services.


The Field ID Distributor Edition selected by Marine and Industrial Supply will enable it to have full safety traceability of its products as well as use the Field ID Safety Network to share critical safety data with their vendors and customers.

The Field ID Safety Network provides safety traceability by connecting parties involved in the safety compliance process including manufacturers, distributors, inspectors and end users. Network users can eliminate compliance paperwork with the goal of reducing the errors, guesswork and liability inherent with paper-based compliance and inspection management. The system is showing increasing popularity in a number of industries with heavy safety regulation, such as mining and heavy construction. [end]
