It’s about people on the plant floor

Deliver Consistent Training Across W. R. Grace Plants

W. R. Grace makes specialty catalysts and materials where safe, consistent, traceable execution matters. We’re working with Grace’s Valleyfield plant today, and can extend the same approach to other Grace plants to standardize SOPs, inspections, troubleshooting, and qualifications.

How Poka Can Support W.R. Grace

Keep catalyst SOPs current without re-authoring from scratch

Grace’s plants run complex, multi-step processes (e.g., FCC catalysts/additives and materials like zeolite/alumina at Valleyfield). Poka can help convert and maintain legacy PDFs into living digital work instructions, so updates to procedures propagate instantly, and you avoid the “rebuild content every time” trap.

Simplify competency, qualifications, and ISO-ready traceability

Grace needs audit-ready visibility into who is qualified for which tasks, and when. Poka centralizes skills/qualifications and links them to the latest SOPs, reducing time spent reconciling spreadsheets and improving audit readiness.

Replace paper inspections with digital L1 checks and PM forms

Grace teams can eliminate paper-based inspection forms by digitizing L1 checks, preventive maintenance forms, and shift routines, capturing structured data, timestamps, and sign-offs that are easier to retrieve than departmental Excel trails.

Empower operators and mechanics on the floor

Grace operates a global network of manufacturing and technical sites. Poka is designed for frontline use on mobile devices and integrates with existing workflows (APIs, data lake/BI, and automation), so access to SOPs, troubleshooting, and forms doesn’t depend on hunting for PDFs or shared drives.

Engage W.R. Grace Workers in a Culture of Collaboration

Poka can support many frontline workflows beyond training, like standard work/SOP control, inspections and compliance forms, troubleshooting, skills & qualifications, and shift execution, so teams can rely on one platform as the source of truth. Consolidating overlapping tools can also reduce license and development spend; for example, Bosch reported €200,000 in savings in software licenses and development costs.
