01 / Project overview
A coordinated approach.
The operation combined purchase-order monitoring with dangerous-goods expertise for highly hazardous gases. It covered filled cylinders moving to consumption points and empty equipment returning for refilling.
The scope included ammonia, silane, deuterium and sulphur dioxide movements across different origins.
