EcoOnline Introduces AI-Powered SDS Smart Extraction for Easier Chemical Compliance
TORONTO, /CNW/ - EcoOnline, a leading global provider of safety and sustainability software, has bolstered its safety data sheet (SDS) authoring software with new AI-powered Smart Extraction. This chemical safety enhancement streamlines and simplifies the documentation process for firms creating SDS. Growing concerns, legal obligations In the U.S. and Canada, chemical safety regulations such as OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard and WHMIS require that employers and suppliers provide clear, compliant SDS for hazardous substances. Organisations that manufacture or distribute chemicals are therefore under growing pressure to ensure their SDS documentation is accurate, accessible and up to date. Without automation tools creating and publishing an SDS can be costly and time-consuming, often taking hours, if not days, to complete per document. EcoOnline's SDS Authoring software, powered by Almego, removes these complexities and helps companies take control of the SDS authoring process with ISO 9001-certified software. AI-powered SDS Smart Extraction Extracting important information from supplier SDS documents manually requires significant effort and is prone to errors. Keeping this information up to date also requires considerable effort. With the new Smart Extraction, users can simply upload a PDF of their SDS, and by applying state-of-the-art, AI-powered Natural Language Processing (NLP), the software will automatically extract the required data from sections 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 13 and 14 of the document. The user can review the extracted data for accuracy, and then the software will create substances as raw materials or mixtures, along with dropdown values and data library entries. Other key features of EcoOnline SDS Authoring include: Smart authoring workflows: Create an SDS in minutes through guided workflows. The SDS can then be translated and published in more than 80 languages, simultaneously saving time and cost. Customizable design: Tailor the SDS design to align with specific company or brand requirements, ensuring consistency with organizational standards. Automate key data submissions: Automatically submit UFI/PCN data to ECHA. ECHA integrations create rich and complete substance data sets for classification, translated names, occupational exposure limits, and DNEL + PNEC studies. Monitoring for regulatory compliance: To help maintain compliance, stay up to date when changes to any relevant legislation are automatically identified. Notifications are then provided to users, highlighting recommended changes. "Companies manufacturing and distributing hazardous chemicals don't just have a moral obligation to report on their substances – they have a legal obligation as well," said Axel Elvik, SVP Product at EcoOnline. "The process of manually transferring SDS data is laborious and error prone. Our new SDS Smart Extraction will not only save businesses time and money, but it'll also help them be compliant and protect their people and the planet."

Otter Energy Inc. Celebrates 16th Year with Plans to Double Growth
PICTON, ON, May 22, 2025 /CNW/ - Otter Energy, Ontario's leading turnkey solar solutions provider, is marking 16 years of powering Canadian sustainability with ambitious plans to double its operations over the next 12 months. Since its founding in 2009 in Picton, Ontario, Otter Energy has established itself as one of Canada's premier solar energy companies, designing and delivering some of the country's largest rooftop solar systems. As the company celebrates this milestone anniversary, it's looking ahead to unprecedented expansion. "What began as a small operation with big dreams has evolved into a company fundamentally changing how Canadian businesses and homeowners think about energy," said Tyler Blower, President at Otter Energy. "Every rooftop in Canada represents an opportunity for energy independence, cost savings, and positive environmental impact." Simplifying Solar for Canadians Otter Energy's mission remains steadfast: helping Canadian businesses and homeowners control their energy costs, decrease their environmental impact, and unlock the hidden value of their property. The company operates on the principle that solar energy doesn't need to be complex, focusing on simplifying every aspect of the solar experience for its customers. Unlike many competitors in the renewable energy space, Otter Energy provides truly turnkey Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) and Operations and Maintenance services for commercial solar and solar + storage systems throughout Ontario. As Canada's only ISO9001-certified solar company, Otter Energy maintains the highest standards of quality and reliability across all projects. With over 60 full-time employees, the company maintains a laser focus on solar energy solutions – it's all they do, allowing them to develop unparalleled expertise in the field. Impressive Growth and Impact The company's track record speaks for itself. Otter Energy has installed more than 450,000 solar panels across Ontario, representing 150MW of installed solar capacity. These installations reduce CO2 emissions by 280,000 metric tons annually, equivalent to taking approximately 60,000 cars off the road. The company has also seen remarkable financial success, with 39% year-over-year revenue growth from 2023 to 2024, owing to growing demand for renewable energy solutions and Otter's leadership position. Notable Projects Demonstrating Excellence. Otter Energy's portfolio includes numerous high-profile commercial installations that showcase the company's capabilities: For KUEHNE+NAGEL, the company deployed a 1,335 kW DC / 1,000 kW AC system, producing 89% of the facility's electricity needs. This installation generates annual savings of $361,080, a remarkable 689% total ROI, and lifetime savings of $9,026,996. The project achieved payback in just 5.91 years. Another impressive project is a 1000 kW DC / 740 kW AC system designed and built for Timbren Industries in Whitby, Ontario. With over 1850 solar panels, the system provides 75% of the company's energy needs, saving them $291,000/year on electricity costs. Total ROI is an industry-leading 923% with a 4.7-year payback period. Looking Ahead: Doubling Down on Success As Otter Energy celebrates 16 years of operations, the company has unveiled plans to double its size over the next year. This ambitious growth strategy includes expanding into other Canadian markets, increasing workforce capacity, and introducing new solar + storage solutions designed specifically for the rapidly growing Canadian market. "The renewable energy landscape in Canada is at an inflection point," noted Peter Vogel, Director of Business Development. "The combination of improved technology, enhanced government incentives and tax breaks, and growing need for companies to embrace environmental, social and governance planning has created perfect conditions for solar adoption. Our expansion plans position us to meet this moment and continue leading the industry forward." SOURCE Otter Energy Inc.
