AMS Go at Fernholz
How a packaging manufacturer for the food industry organizes occupational safety and visitor management with AMS Go.
Starting point
Two sites, many visitors
Production for the food and dairy industry in Meinerzhagen and Schkopau. In addition to their own teams, visitors, service providers and suppliers regularly come on site.
Solution
Occupational safety with a focus on visitors
Fernholz uses AMS Go for occupational safety – especially visitor management: visitors are registered digitally, linked to the required safety briefing and checked out again.
Benefit
Overview instead of paper lists
No more paper lists at reception, full transparency about who is on site at any time – and automatic, GDPR-compliant deletion of visitor data.
From reception to check-out – digital and GDPR-compliant
At Fernholz, AMS Go visitor management is at the heart of it. This is how a visit works with the visitor terminal:
- 1
Self check-in
Visitors check in themselves on the tablet, and their host is recorded right away.
- 2
Confirm the briefing
Before entering, visitors confirm the required safety briefing – including the rules that apply in production.
- 3
Keep track
Who is on site right now? The overview shows all visitors present at a glance.
- 4
Check out & delete
Check out with one click or automatically after configurable periods. Visitor data is deleted automatically once the retention period expires.
How an AMS Go rollout works
Our approach adapts to your size and sites – from a single plant to an international group.
- 1
Kick-off & assessment
Together we look at your processes, sites and existing documents and decide where you start.
- 2
Data migration
We take over existing risk assessments, hazardous substances, operating instructions, users and trainings during onboarding.
- 3
Everyday start
After a short introduction you get going right away – in the web app and with the mobile app on the shop floor.
- 4
Expand step by step
More areas, sites and modules are added when you are ready – without switching systems and without dead weight.
Where we take the load off the food industry
From the production line and the hazardous substances store to reception: AMS Go brings occupational safety topics together in one system.
Production & hygiene areas
Inspections and risk assessments right at the line and machine – with photos, actions and follow-up.
Visitors & contractors
Digital check-in, safety briefing and check-out – for visitors, service providers and suppliers.
Hazardous substances & cleaning agents
Manage safety data sheets centrally – AI extracts the key information and transfers it into the system.
What food companies typically gain
- No more filling in paper lists by hand at reception
- Transparency: who is currently on site?
- Automatic, GDPR-compliant deletion of visitor data
- Audit-proof documentation for audits and evidence
