SOLUTION SPOTLIGHT

Workshop & Power Tools

The Problem

Power tools in workshop spaces might be accessed by users who are not trained, qualified or authorized to use them. Conventional lock-out measures are prone to neglect and circumvention: keys get lost or copied, passcodes get shared or forgotten.

The Aminiti Solution

Use secure, digital technology to ensure hazardous tools are used only by people who have been trained to use them safely.

1

Install an Aminiti device in-line with each piece of equipment you wish to protect.​ Or, use a single Aminiti device with a contactor to control power to an entire workshop.

2

Use the Aminiti web app to create QR signage to enable users to activate the equipment.

3

Configure the station for "Allow Only Certain Users". Choose "Setup Groups" to add user email addresses. Added users will receive an invitation to create an Aminiti account, and from then on will have access to the station until you revoke it.

​Extras

Aminiti offers plenty of other features that help manage equipment. Here are just a few:

  • Enable passcode access for a user group. This will allow you to share a passcode with users who may not wish to sign up for an account. Anybody you share the passcode with will have access until you revoke it.

  • Set time limits, so equipment doesn't get left on.​

  • Set operating hours so that the equipment can only be activated during certain times.​
