In 2020, Kuraray implemented Prometheus ePAS as an electronic permit to work and mobile permitting solution within its United States operations, deploying the system under the Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) category. The implementation was designed to replace paper permitting, and to integrate LOTO/isolation records and SAP to centralize permitting data and strengthen safety and compliance workflows.
The Prometheus ePAS deployment focused on electronic permit to work forms, mobile issuance and closure workflows, isolation and lockout tracking, and permit lifecycle management capabilities common to Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) systems. Configuration work emphasized mobile permitting for field crews, digital approval flows, and persistent audit trail capture to support operational compliance and incident investigation requirements.
Integrations included direct linkage of LOTO/isolation records and SAP to synchronize isolation status and work authorizations across maintenance and operations systems. The vendor case study reports Prometheus ePAS went live just ahead of Winter Storm Uri, and one week after go live the system issued 8,000 permits, delivering measurable time savings and a fully digital permitting process. Governance changes centered on centralized permit issuance controls and a single audit trail for permits and isolations, improving visibility for safety and compliance stakeholders.

The implementation emphasized self-service root-cause analysis, continuous monitoring, and automated alerting, with TrendMiner dashboards and email alerting configured to surface anomalous process behavior. The U.S. deployment produced faster investigations, email alerts that prevented environmental incidents and reduced startup and unscheduled downtime hours, as described in the published 2021 customer story about the live Bayport use.
Operational scope focused on the Bayport site within Kuraray America and impacted environmental compliance, plant operations, maintenance and startup teams through standardized time series investigation workflows. Governance centered on plant-level rollout and operator enablement to move time series analysis out of spreadsheets into repeatable monitoring and alerting processes, with the Bayport customer story documenting live production usage in 2021.
