Development of One-Touch Lock-Out (OTLO) System for industrial Applications

Beacontree Technologies Inc. (BTI)位于多伦多，ON成立于2005年，致力于无线电频率 识别（RFID）解决方案。BTI决定分支发展近场通信（NFC）技术 当智能手机/平板电脑制造商在其设备中采用NFC读取器时。这一采用的意义代表了最具成本效益的RFID阅读器设备与世界上最大的分布。他们开发了一种产品 称为一触式检测（OTI），为NFC验证的任何类型的检测过程提供真实检查 谁，在哪里和何时。BTI一直在评估如何将RFID应用于设备锁定系统。这 技术将有利于复杂的过程工业，包括石油和天然气，石油化工，化学品，钢铁 和公用事业关闭他们的单位。 Beacontree技术公司与兰顿学院合作开发了该应用程序，并证明了其有效性。这 将包括建立一个界面，公司可以指定关闭的时间将发生，什么点必须 在将通过智能手机/平板电脑管理的单元操作集之间锁定和隔离。后 技术是由学院开发的，BTI将测试系统与试用公司，以评估其有效性，以及 解决任何技术问题。就读于兰顿学院移动的应用程序设计与开发计划的学生 在多伦多校园将能够运用他们的技能和知识，并通过这种伙伴关系获得经验， Beacontree Technology. BTI将受益于这项技术的发展，因为它将使他们能够扩展到新的行业， 增加他们的收入。学生和教师的研究人员将受益于参与这个项目，因为他们将 增加他们的知识和经验，使他们能够在课堂上和未来的就业中应用这一点。的 使用该软件的公司将在关闭操作期间提高其安全性和效率。

Beacontree Technologies Inc. (BTI) located in Toronto, ON was founded in 2005 to address Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) solutions. BTI decided to branch out to pursue Near Field Communication (NFC) technology when smartphone/tablet manufacturers adopted NFC readers in their devices. The significance of this adoption represents the most cost-effective RFID reader device with the greatest distribution in the world. They developed a product called One-Touch Inspection (OTI) which provides a reality check for any type of inspection process where NFC validates WHO, WHERE and WHEN. BTI has been assessing how RFID could be applied to an Equipment Lock-Out System. This technology would be beneficial to complex process industries including; oil & gas, petro-chemicals, chemicals, iron & steel and utilities for shutting down their units. Beacontree Technologies has partnered with Lambton College to develop the application and prove its effectiveness. This will consist of setting up an interface where a company can specify the time a shutdown will occur and what points must be locked out and isolated amongst a unit operation set that will be managed through a smartphone/tablet. After the technology is developed by the College, BTI will test the system with a trial company to assess the effectiveness as well as address any technical issues. Students enrolled in Lambton Colleges Mobile Application Design & Development program at the Toronto Campus will be able to apply their skills and knowledge and gain experience through this partnership with Beacontree Technology. BTI will benefit from the development of this technology as it will allow for them to expand into new industries which will increase their revenue. The students and faculty researchers will benefit from participating in this project as they will increase their knowledge and experience that will allow them to apply this in the classroom and future employment. The companies who will utilize this software will increase their safety and efficiency during shut down operations.
