Optimize your processes (Part 3)

Learn the value of sensors to prevent asset loss and how to create courses or lessons to deliver bite-sized training content to your team.

5. Sensors

What are sensors?

With sensors in SafetyCulture, you can monitor your assets in real-time 24/7, receive alerts when things go out of critical range, and record business-critical data automatically. This empowers you to stay compliant, prevent asset loss, and make informed decisions based on historical sensor data trends.

If you're an existing sensors customer interested in purchasing additional gateways and sensors, please reach out to your dedicated customer success manager. Otherwise, get in touch if you're:

  • Interested in purchasing sensors and gateways from us.

  • Considering purchasing sensors and gateways from third parties.

  • Interested in finding out more about our sensor solutions.

6. Training

What is Training in SafetyCulture?

Training in SafetyCulture is built to fit around how working teams operate, delivered in bite-sized chunks that can be accessed on any device, from anywhere. Training is not just designed to increase your team's confidence and compliance effectively, it also gives you complete visibility over their completion rates and results.

Knowing your team needs training is one thing. Having the time to create the content is another. Our free course library has over 1,000 courses ready for you to customize as you need, helping you get the training your team needs into their hands faster.

If you need help getting started with your training content, you can create a course, lesson, or lesson slide using AI by describing the topic or taking photos of your materials.

If you have your own existing training material, you can convert it into training courses using AI.
