A digital LOTO isolation system

Page last modified

April 11 2024

iSOL8 is a digital paperless isolation system. Isolation devices, locks and lock boxes are tagged and identified with Near Field Communication (NFC) tags. Tags are scanned in the field with data sent to the hand-held mobile device and verified against the tag database to enable isolation and de-isolation of the equipment, declaring work is safe to begin and/or has been completed. Workers can be authorised to tag on and off the lock box by using their personal NFC tagged isolation locks.

Pros & Limitations

Eliminates misreading of isolation device labels

Paperless

Reduced administration time

Reduced human errors

Captures time stamped data in real time

Increased plant availability

Prevents the permit being approved if an error is detected

Damage to the NFC tags

Need to charge mobile devices and readers

Specification

Specification Title	Specification Description
Accessibility	Available on and off line.
