- 9 standard rooms loaded
- 6 lockout energy sources
- 5 reference standards
How the work is done in food
Batch or continuous production with daily sanitisation: cleaning is part of the process, not a job for afterwards. Production, cleaning and maintenance share the same shift.
The jobs that set the pace
- Format and batch changeovers
- Cleaning and disinfection (CIP/COP)
- Maintenance with the adjacent line running
- Work in silos and tanks
- Allergen management
The rooms it comes with as standard
- Cleanroom packing area
- Line 1 · filling
- Line 2 · labelling
- Chill room
- Freezer room
- Boiler room
- CIP · clean-in-place
- Loading dock
- Raw material warehouse
Lockout/tagout, with isolation point and verification
The dashboard does not ask “what energies does your equipment have?”: in the food profile they are already there, each one with where it is isolated and how you check that it is isolated. It is what an inspection asks to see in writing.
| Energy | Isolation point | Verification |
|---|---|---|
| Electrical | Line isolator | Verification of the absence of voltage |
| Pneumatic | Filler air isolation valve | Bleed and gauge at 0 bar |
| Steam | Header block valve | Bleed and temperature check |
| Chemistry (CIP caustic and acid) | CIP circuit valves and dosing pump | Rinsing, pH measurement and visible drainage |
| Refrigeration (ammonia or glycol) | Evaporator suction and discharge valves | Refrigerant recovered and pressure at 0 |
| Stored mechanical energy | Lockout of conveyors and screw conveyors | Standstill check and chocking |
The high-risk procedures, written down
Five procedures specific to food, written in the vocabulary of the sector and available inside the dashboard so you can adapt them to your plant.
CIP sanitisation
Caustic and acid running through the same line as the product: double-seat valves and return verification.
Entry into silos and tanks
Confined space with the added risk of engulfment in bulk material: never on top of the product without a rescue plan.
Lockout on a shared line
Stopping a mixer with the next line running means cordoning off, not just locking out.
Allergen and foreign body control
After maintenance: count the tools and parts, metal detector verified.
Atmospheres in milling (ATEX dust)
Organic dust explodes: clear the layers and use equipment rated for the classified zone.

Current references the dashboard uses to organise the documentation. IndustriaKit is a documentation tool: it does not replace the risk assessment or legal advice.
- HACCP plan in force
- Food handler certificate
- Health registration of the facility
What the dashboard does with all this
Contractors and coordination of activities
Contractors working on site join free, upload their documentation and the traffic light decides who can work. RD 171/2004 coordination with minutes and signature.
Permits with QR codes
Work permit with a printable notice: in the field it is scanned and signed from a phone. LOTO warning when the job calls for it.
Maintenance and OEE
Queue prioritised by criticality, statutory maintenance schedules with their date, counters based on real usage and an OEE panel per line with a Pareto of stoppages.
Personnel and training
Fitness for work, training and health surveillance by job role, with the medical data kept outside the dashboard by design.
Open it with the food profile and compare it with your folder
The demo opens with no card and no sales call. You choose this same sector and walk into a plant that looks like yours, with sample data you can play with without breaking anything.
The other industries in the dashboard
Each profile brings its own vocabulary, its own areas, its own energies and its own procedures. There are sixteen.
