Questions worth asking before you improve the factory floor.

We start with a site walkthrough and look for the places where risk and lost time actually show up: unmarked hazards and pipes, machines with no guard or a bypassed one, equipment with no LOTO procedure, audits and checklists done on paper or missed, stale noticeboards, and incidents reported late. The result is a gap list ranked by risk, and a first scope that covers the highest-exposure areas.

Visual: hazard signs, pipe marking, equipment identification, floor marking, plant navigation and evacuation signage. Machines: guards, interlocks, energy sources and isolation points. Process: hazard studies, management of change and process safety information. Digital: how SOPs, audits, training, incidents and permits are recorded today, what screens you already have, and the network and language situation at the point of work.

Yes. Typical starting points are one production area for visual workplace marking, a set of machines for guarding and LOTO, or one FactoryOS module such as QR-based asset audits or digital signage on a few screens. Each is scoped, delivered and proven on its own, then repeated across other areas and plants.

Visual workplace: site survey, custom design, manufacture and installation of signage, pipe markers, labels, floor marking, plant maps and emergency signage. LOTO: gap assessment, policy, equipment-specific procedures, training, devices and audit. Machine safety: risk assessment, guard and interlock design, installation and testing. Process safety: HAZOP/PHA, LOPA, management of change and incident investigation. FactoryOS: a web console, an Android app for mobile and kiosk, digital signage and AI content tools.

We implement. BRIGS takes single-point responsibility from site survey through design, fabrication and installation. For machine safety that includes installing guards, interlock switches and light curtains and functionally testing every interlock before handover. FactoryOS is configured, loaded with your content and rolled out to the console, mobile app, kiosks and screens.

Yes. LOTO is built to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147, machine safety to ISO 12100, ISO 13849 and IEC 62061, and process safety to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.119 with HAZOP and LOPA, alongside your own site standards. In FactoryOS you work with your own templates, SOPs, audit forms and compliance rules. Signage and content are designed around your processes and standards.

By putting the tool in the worker's hand at the point of work. A QR code on the machine, wall or work area opens the right SOP, audit form or checklist in one scan, along with the asset's history. Kiosks and digital signage reinforce training and show information where it is needed. Personal and classroom learning tools cover training. Workers report incidents on site, create and execute LOTO on a handheld device, and capture audits and actions there too. The app keeps working when the network drops and syncs when it returns.

Yes. FactoryOS translates any content (courses, SOPs, forms, posters, signage content) into the languages your workforce speaks, with no separate translation project. Learners choose their language, and in a classroom each learner can follow the content and answer the assessment in their own language while the instructor presents in another. Assessments can use images instead of text, and visual signage relies on symbols and images that read at a glance.

Visual for information people must read at a glance: hazards, pipe contents, routes, floor marking and evacuation. Digital for information that changes or must be recorded: SOPs, audits, training, permits, incidents and live notices. Engineered controls where a person must be physically kept from the hazard: guards, interlocks and lockout isolation. On one machine, that means a guard with an interlock, marked isolation points, and a QR code that opens its SOP, checklist and history.

For LOTO, we follow six steps: a walkthrough and gap assessment of every machine, energy source and isolation point; a corporate policy aligned to OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147; a zero-energy assessment per machine; an equipment-specific procedure for each machine; role-based training for authorized employees, affected employees and management; and devices, signage and scheduled audits. For machine safety, we run a risk assessment per machine (ISO 12100), design the guard and interlock to the risk (ISO 13849, IEC 62061), install, and test.

A register of machines and energy sources, an equipment-specific LOTO procedure (ESLP) for every machine, a written corporate policy, role-based training records, locks, tags and station signage installed, and a scheduled audit with a compliance rating for the site (Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze). With FactoryOS, LOTO procedures can also be created and executed on a handheld device, with audits and action capture.

Yes. We walk the plant and check what you have against the work: is every energy source identified, does each machine have its own procedure, are devices matched to the energy source, are roles defined, is training recorded, and are audits happening. You get a list of what is isolated correctly, what is missing and what it takes to close each gap. Existing procedures and devices that already work stay.

They replace paper and spreadsheets with one console and one app. Scanning a QR code at the machine opens its SOP, checklist and history. Audits are scheduled with reminders, and overdue ones escalate automatically. Incidents are reported from any device the moment they happen. Training is assigned and tracked per person, and permits are issued after training is verified. Supervisors see status live, and reports filter by department, location, asset, person or status and export to Excel.

A screen can be split into sections, each with its own content: scrolling messages, videos, safety analytics and posters. Or it can run a playlist of videos, images and PDFs. It can also show custom web pages such as the production plan, progress against target, dashboards and area maps. You schedule by time, group displays by location, and manage one screen or thousands from one console without pen drives. A prepared emergency message goes to every display in its plan with one Instant Publish button, and short reminders from training keep learning visible after the course.

FactoryOS is a cloud platform, and the security case rests on controls we can show: role-based access with 2FA/MFA, Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) on the platform, and a recorded history of every action, change and approval. Cloud also removes the servers your team would otherwise buy, patch, back up, monitor and recover. Bring your policy to the IT review and we will go through it against these controls.

Data flow, user roles and access, authentication (2FA/MFA), hosting, encryption, backup and recovery, logging, network requirements and operational support. We also cover the VAPT scope. The review follows your own policy and approval process.

Yes. We have performed Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing (VAPT) on the FactoryOS platform. During your IT review we discuss the testing scope and provide the security information your assessment needs.

No. FactoryOS is cloud-based: the console runs in a browser, and the app runs on Android phones, kiosks and signage players. Your IT team handles access, authentication and network connectivity for the devices. The app works offline and syncs automatically when the network returns, so a network drop does not stop work on the floor.

On the floor, hazards, pipes, routes and exits are marked, every machine has an identified energy source and a LOTO procedure, and guards are interlocked and tested. In the system, a QR scan gives the SOP, checklist and history, audits run on schedule with escalation, training is recorded per person, and incidents are reported the same shift. We agree the measures at the start, for example audit completion, overdue audits, training completion, incident reporting time and LOTO compliance rating.

Safety: hazards are visible, machines are guarded and isolated, workers are trained to the same standard, and audits get done on time. Productivity: no walking back to the office for a document, fewer unclear handovers, inspections done from the checklist at the asset, and fewer breakdowns turning into shutdowns because maintenance runs on schedule. Screens can also show the production plan and progress against target, live.

Your team runs it. They create, translate, schedule and publish content from the web console, with AI drafting SOPs, checklists, courses and posters for review. Audits recur on schedule with reminders and escalation. LOTO audits are scheduled and procedures are updated when equipment changes. Risk assessments, test records and inspection schedules are kept current in the documentation we hand over.
