Connected Lockout Tagout

Digital Lockout Tagout for Complex Industrial Operations

BoxLock delivers digital lockout tagout for industrial environments where failure is not an option. Our platform modernizes Lockout Tagout (LOTO) by transforming manual, paper-based procedures into a real-time, verifiable hazardous energy isolation system. Built for complex mission-critical operations such as renewables, data centers, and manufacturing, BoxLock improves compliance, accountability, and operational efficiency while reducing lockout risk.

What is digital lockout tagout?

Real-time hazardous energy isolation instead of paper-only lockout logs

Digital lockout tagout gives safety, operations, and commissioning teams a live view of lock status, worker authorization, and isolation progress. BoxLock combines connected LOTO devices, credential-based verification, and audit-ready records so teams can run lockout tagout with less friction and more defensible proof.

Built for complex LOTO programs

  • OSHA 1910.147 and NFPA 70E aligned workflows
  • Group lockout tagout visibility across distributed teams
  • Exportable records for audits, investigations, and compliance reviews
  • Connected lock and tag combinations for different isolation points

Traditional LOTO

Traditional lockout tagout relies on physical padlocks, paper logs, and manual verification. Supervisors assume equipment is de-energized. Workers trust that procedures were followed. Documentation is often tedious, incomplete or delayed.

Intelligent LOTO

BoxLock's Intelligent Lockout Tagout solution combines connected digital padlocks, QR-enabled LOTO tags, credential-based worker authentication, and cloud-based management software to create a complete digital lockout tagout system.

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Updating single line drawings can be a tedious and time‑consuming process, leading to drawings that are often out of date and inaccurate.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

Lockout tagout FAQ

Questions safety teams ask about digital LOTO

What is digital lockout tagout?

Digital lockout tagout replaces paper logs and manual reconciliation with a live record of worker authorization, lock status, timestamps, and isolation activity at the point of work.

How is BoxLock different from paper LOTO programs?

BoxLock records hazardous energy isolation events as they happen, helping teams verify first-on and last-off status, reduce documentation gaps, and export defensible audit records.

Can BoxLock support group lockout tagout?

Yes. BoxLock is designed for distributed teams that need visibility into group LOTO, energized status, and worker accountability across multiple assets and work fronts.
