LOTOTO.digital: proven technology adapted to your process

Before work on a machine begins, maintenance needs reliable answers. Is the right equipment identified? Which energies must be isolated? Who carried out each step? Who is still working on the equipment, and when can it go back into service? When this information is split between a paper permit, a spreadsheet, a phone call and people’s experience, checking it takes time and careful coordination.

LOTOTO.digital brings it into one place and makes each next step depend on recorded confirmations. It is not a boxed product with one fixed workflow. It is technology we configure around the way you work. The wider picture is on the digital LOTOTO page.

Every site answers the same questions differently. During implementation we go through these points with you:

• Who requests a lockout and who prepares the permit.
• Who isolates each type of energy and who is allowed to – for example, an electrician only electrical energy.
• Who applies the tag and how tagging is recorded.
• Who approves, and in what order.
• Authorisations by equipment or area – who may approve which equipment.
• Handover of a key, lock or tag – whether and how to record it.
• Work groups – how they join a lockout and who is responsible for them.
• Substitution – who may take over a step for an absent colleague.
• Handover of work at shift change.
• Tryout – how verification of isolation fits into the workflow.
• Documents – form templates for high-risk work and attaching completed documents.
• Equipment identification – your existing identifiers, technical tags or group standard; no need to renumber equipment.

Tryout is always part of LOTOTO. How it is recorded and built into the digital workflow is something we design around the rules of each site. The same applies to roles and authorisations: the set-up from an existing deployment is a starting point, not a mandatory scheme.

• Recording Tryout as a separate step – person, time, isolation point and result, following your rules.
• Digital work instructions – existing paper and PDF procedures turned into interactive steps, as a tailored service.
• Identifying workers with RFID cards, based on the card system you already use.
• Kiosk stations on the shop floor for workers without their own device.
• Recording the handover of a key, lock or tag.
• Digital forms and documents – filling in, pre-filled data, electronic approval and archiving directly in the application instead of attaching scanned PDFs. See digital forms.

We define the scope of any extension after analysing the process. They are not offered as ready-made modules.

The choice between phone, computer and kiosk depends on working conditions and how people move around the site. On a shared kiosk, every operation must be clearly attributed to a specific user and each session must be closed. Neither a QR code nor an RFID card confirms that isolation has been carried out – they only make it easier to reach the right record or account. More on the QR work instructions page.
