Eliminate Human Error with Netherlocks Safety Systems' Hard Coded Key Transfer System
19 February 2007
How can we eliminate human error? By using written procedures? Training? Guidance? No. Unfortunately we cannot eliminate human error without proper measurements.
Each industrial process has human intervention: operating a switch, valve, hedge, door, actuator and so on.
Humans operate these, and, as long humans can be ill, nervous, distracted or angry they will make mistakes; unless you guide them via a hard coded key transfer system. No difficult software, wiring or expensive training; just add onto your host equipment a permanently-placed smart locking system.
This key transfer guides the operator step by step. There is always just one key free at the time that travels from one lock to the other.
There are no extra activities for the operator: just insert the key and operate. After this operation the first key is trapped, while a second can be released that you need for the next step.
The system doesn't require training or experience, and is 100% foolproof.
