The inclusion of an automated lockout-tagout capability elevates the Tool Tracker's functionality and allows for a wifi connection for future replication of other Tool Tracker set-ups. The Tool Tracker is a vital project designed by former OIT seniors, to bolster laboratory safety at the Oregon Institute of Technology. Through its advanced power circuit interrupt and automated lockout-tagout capabilities, it ensures that laboratory equipment is used safely and responsibly, thereby protecting both authorized personnel and equipment from potential hazards.
