Intelligent LOTO for Data Centers
HyperscaleArc Flash Defense
The rapid pace of data center construction is pushing the limits of what can be accomplished safely. While hazardous energy isolation can be tedious, it's crucial to reducing the risk of arc flash incidents which can cost millions of dollars in damages, compromise project schedules, and potentially cost lives. Leading owners, general contractors, and electricians trust BoxLock's connected lockout tagout (LOTO) solution to isolate and track thousands of points in real-time on today's most complex data center projects.
Advanced Hazardous Energy Control
BoxLock's digital lockout tagout solution works across mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems to ensure that single-line drawings are updated in real-time, reflecting the work that's been completed, not just what's been reported. BoxLock's unique combination of connected padlocks and smart LOTO tags provides robust protection for group LOTO boxes and unparalleled tracking for complex energy systems.
Energy Marshalls and tradesmen prefer BoxLock's approach because it implements your safety program and single-line drawings without replacing them. This reduces friction, improves accountability, and keeps you in control of timelines.
BoxLock provides a single source of truth with
Real-time LOTO status
Automated energization logs
A range of deployment options
Built for the Scale and
Speed of Modern Data Centers
Data center construction runs on aggressive timelines with thousands of energization points across electrical, mechanical, and plumbing systems. Traditional lockout workflows struggle to keep pace.
How BoxLock keeps projects on track
- Integrates with existing single-line drawings and safety procedures
- Lets Energy Marshals and trades document isolations in real time
- Provides accurate live system status across commissioning and maintenance
- Reduces arc flash risk while protecting schedule integrity
Features
Single Source of Truth
LOTO digital twins require building and maintaining a separate representation of the work in the field‑adding complexity, manual validation, and additional roles.
BoxLock takes a different approach by physically capturing lockout activity directly at the point of work, allowing existing crews and energy marshals to document and verify isolation in real time. This reduces setup time, improves accuracy, and keeps systems aligned with what’s actually happening in the field.
Live Single Line Drawings
Updating single line drawings can be a tedious and time‑consuming process, leading to drawings that are often out of date and inaccurate.
BoxLock automatically updates your single line drawings in real‑time as workers lock on and off, ensuring that your documentation always reflects the current state of the field.
- Avoid digital twins and have your energization logs reflect the actual work
- Your existing single-line drawings are updated in real-time
- No need for additional energy marshalls beyond the ones you already have
BoxLock Integrates with Autodesk, Fieldwire and Bluebeam to update single line drawings in real-time.
Real-Time LOTO Status
BoxLock LOTO Tags show the real-time energization status of the isolation point, who's locked on and access to live single line drawings in the field.
Workers can contact the LOTO Administrator directly or contact the worker to request them to remove their lock, directly from the tag.
- Access live single line drawings right from the LOTO Tag in the field
- Requst Lock Removal and Execute Force Lock Removal Documentation with Real-Time Notifications
- OSHA 1910.147 and NFPA 70E compliant LOTO Tags show LOTO Administrator Contact Details
Automated Energization Logs
Save time and money with automated energization logs that are always accurate and up to date. BoxLock captures lockout activity directly at the point of work, eliminating the need for manual data entry and reducing the risk of errors.
- Filter, export, and drilldown on the data quickly
- Custom reporting and data access with our open API
- Workers get notified if they forgot to remove their lock at the end of their shift
