Problem
Traditional lockout/tagout (LOTO) and access control systems rely on physical keys and manual processes, leading to inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and compliance challenges across various industries. Managing physical keys is cumbersome, creates auditability issues, and increases the risk of lost or stolen keys, resulting in potential safety hazards and operational disruptions.
Solution
Smartlox provides a digital LOTO and access control solution that leverages smart padlocks and a mobile/web application to streamline lockout procedures and enhance safety compliance. The system replaces traditional key systems with digital keys managed through the Nyckel web and mobile apps, offering real-time visibility and control over access across job sites and remote locations. The platform enables users to build lockout jobs, assign Bluetooth padlocks, and provide teams with comprehensive visibility and compliance oversight. Smartlox's solution improves safety by reducing human error, streamlining communication, and providing unprecedented visibility into LOTO procedures, while also enhancing security through features like user authentication, access controls, and end-to-end data encryption.
