Smart Lockers for Oil and Gas | Tool Tracking and Asset Management for Rigs and Refineries
Smart Lockers for Oil and Gas. Track Every Tool on Every Rig, Every Shift.
On an offshore platform or onshore refinery, a single dropped tool or missing wrench is not just a productivity problem - it is a safety incident waiting to happen. The oil and gas industry operates under some of the strictest HSE regulations in the world, with zero tolerance for unaccounted tools in hazardous zones. Manual tool tallies and paper sign-out sheets simply cannot meet the accountability standards required by OSGP, ISO 55001 and ATEX-rated environments.
Our smart lockers are engineered for the harshest industrial environments. Ruggedised, explosion-rated enclosures with RFID slot-level sensing give your toolpushers and HSE managers 100% real-time visibility over every tool on the rig - from the moment it leaves the locker to the moment it is returned.
Dropped Object Prevention and Tool Accountability
Dropped objects are one of the leading causes of fatalities on offshore platforms. Every tool that goes to height must be accounted for before and after the job. Our lockers make this automatic.
- 100% check-in and check-out: Every tool is logged when removed and when returned. If a tool is not back in the locker at the end of a job, the system immediately alerts the toolpusher and HSE officer.
- Job-specific tool kits: Configure the locker to release only the specific tools required for a permit-to-work job. The mechanic cannot take tools that are not on the approved list for that task.
- Shift-end reconciliation: Automatic tool count at every shift change. Any discrepancy triggers an immediate alert before the next crew takes over.
Calibration and Inspection Tracking
Torque wrenches, pressure gauges, gas detectors and measuring instruments must be calibrated to strict intervals in oil and gas operations. Using an out-of-calibration instrument can cause catastrophic failures and regulatory penalties.
- Automatic calibration locking: When a tool's calibration date expires, the locker automatically locks that specific compartment. The tool cannot be issued until it has been recertified by the QA team.
- Inspection history: Every tool has a complete digital service record - every calibration, every inspection, every repair - accessible instantly from the cloud dashboard.
- Regulatory reporting: Export full calibration compliance reports for ISO 55001, API and ATEX audits with a single click.
Permit-to-Work Integration
Our software integrates with your existing permit-to-work system. When a permit is issued for a specific job, the locker automatically unlocks only the tools listed on that permit for the authorised crew members. When the permit closes, the system verifies all tools are returned before marking the job complete.
- Permit-linked tool release: Tools are only accessible to workers with an active, approved permit for that specific task.
- Automatic permit closure check: The system will not allow a permit to be closed if any tools are still outstanding from the locker.
- Full digital audit trail: Every tool movement is linked to its permit number, worker ID and timestamp - providing irrefutable evidence for incident investigations.
Remote and Offshore Connectivity
Our lockers connect via satellite, 4G/LTE or Wi-Fi, making them fully operational on remote offshore platforms, desert refineries and pipeline stations with no fixed internet infrastructure. Your onshore HSE manager can monitor every locker on every platform from a single cloud dashboard in real time.
