Intelligent lockout and tagout apparatus, system and method

Abstract

The invention discloses an intelligent lockout and tagout apparatus, system and method, comprising: an intelligent lock comprising a lock body and an electronic label; a device switch assembly comprising a base, an energy switch disposed on the base, and a lockout and tagout module, wherein the lockout and tagout module comprises a controller, a detection submodule, an alarm submodule, and a communication submodule; in response to an off signal of the energy switch, the controller is used for controlling the alarm submodule to give an alarm prompt and controlling the detection submodule to start real-time detection; and in response to detection of the electronic label by the detection submodule, the controller is used for turning off the alarm submodule and controlling the communication submodule to upload recorded information of the electronic label to an external management platform. By means of cooperative use of the intelligent lock and the device switch assembly, the intelligent monitoring of the lockout and tagout operation is implemented, the lockout and tagout supervision difficulty is greatly relieved, the comprehensive and intelligent monitoring for lockout and tagout isimplemented, and the device operation safety is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of equipment safety, and in particular relates to an intelligent lockout and tagout device, system and method. Background technique [0002] LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) has always been an important safety standard in the safe use of equipment. Most manufacturers in the world will require maintenance personnel to abide by this lock out tag out operation to avoid accidental opening of equipment during maintenance and cause safety hazards. Accidents, to ensure the safety of personnel in the process of repairing equipment. Among them, with the continuous development of industrial intelligence, equipment is gradually developing toward automation and intelligence, and no longer completely rely on people to operate. This also leads to future Safety accidents involving lockout and tagout operations frequently occur, and effective monitoring and management of lockout and tagout operations has always been the top priority...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0003] The existing implementation methods of lockout and tagout generally use simple mechanical locks and signs to cooperate with the energy switch of the equipment to perform lockout and tagout related operations. Among them, this needs to be implemented entirely by personal behavior, so there will be many neglects. For example, the slackness of personnel awareness often leads to illegal operation behaviors such as forgetting to lock and tag, deliberately not locking and tagging, and random locking and tagging. There is a phenomenon that supervision is difficult and the supervision effect is poor.
