HORUS

Energy Isolation Management for Hazardous Energy Control

Energy isolation management is the technical core of lockout/tagout: identifying, disconnecting, securing and verifying every hazardous energy source before maintenance. Horus maps each isolation point per asset and enforces verification before any work order is released.

What is energy isolation?

Energy isolation is the process of disconnecting and securing all hazardous energy — electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal and chemical — so equipment cannot start or release stored energy during maintenance.

Map every isolation point per asset

Horus holds a per-asset library of energy sources and isolation points, so technicians follow the exact, verified sequence for each machine instead of relying on tribal knowledge.

Verify the zero-energy state

Maintenance begins only when every source is confirmed de-energized and validated by the system. Guided checks cover residual and stored energy that paper checklists routinely miss.

Resilient even offline

Because Horus is on-premise, local network outages do not stop isolation procedures. Pre-authorized offline sequences sync automatically once connectivity returns, and smart-panel interlocks hold their last safe state.

Logical isolation via control-system integration

Some assets can be isolated logically as well as physically. Horus connects to PLC, DCS and SCADA via OPC DA/UA to command the control system to block an asset while it is under LOTO — complementing physical isolation points with a verified logical barrier that prevents start-up.
