In many factories, a single operator must monitor several machines scattered across the floor. Pre-shift planning to assign control or access can be inefficient or impractical. With Touchstone, operators simply tap at the machine they need, instantly gaining secure access to telemetry, controls, or tools. This enables dynamic, on-demand station pickup, no pre-coordination required.

Digital Lock Out / Tag Out

Traditional lockout/tagout procedures are manual, error-prone, and often lack traceability. Touchstone enables a digital version with built-in physical presence verification. A single tap ties access to a specific person, location, and time, with programmable controls that can grant exclusive access and reject follow-up attempts. Ideal for high-risk equipment or communal workspaces, Touchstone makes traceable lockout/tagout seamless and secure.

Operators often waste time hunting down the right documents or training materials for the task at hand. Touchstone simplifies this by delivering exactly what’s needed, when and where it’s needed. A tap at the machine instantly provides access to relevant work instructions, safety docs, or videos that are tailored to the task, equipment, and user ensuring faster onboarding and fewer errors.

Temporary, Traceable Access for Outside Technicians

Third-party maintenance often requires giving external technicians access to sensitive system data. With Touchstone, access is granted only when and where it’s needed via a physical tap. The response can be scoped to include only system-specific data and revoked automatically after the task is complete. Every access is logged with time, location, and identity, giving you fine-grained control and full traceability for compliance and peace of mind.
