Castell Iso-Lok database for lockout tagout range

The padlock ‘differ’ recording database for the Iso-Lok range of lockout tagout (LOTO) products has been improved. The Iso-Lok padlock range is designed to uphold the integrity of the user’s LOTO safety system by guaranteeing that each padlock on any one site is unique - that each one differs from the others so that it can only be unlocked by the specific key meant for it. This is achieved by supplying each padlock with a distinct barrel which has a ‘differ’ (key) number associated with that barrel.

Every differ number is stored on the Iso-Lok database, referenced against the user and the site it was delivered to. This enables the Iso-Lok to simply and reliably identify differs previously supplied in the past, and prevent any padlock differ duplication.

Claimed to be the only company to automatically record differs on a site or company-wide basis rather than just per order, it ensures the validity of users’ safety systems over time. The database allows the company to process orders more efficiently, trace differs per site more easily and gather more data more quickly.
