The Safe Box uses components from Pilz Canada and a module-based system to increase efficiency during safe lockout procedures. Lockout modules (shown at left) are distributed throughout the plant and controlled by a central monitor (shown at right).

Above, Andre Dumais, general manager of Ionic Engineering, gives a demonstration of how to use the system, using an example from the mining sector.
