Subscriptions scale faster than procedure counts
Tiered annual licenses hurt single plants using a fraction of the suite. Tegis starts free and scales per procedure and site.

A Brady Link360 alternative you can test on one asset
Link360 fits enterprises standardized on Brady hardware and print workflows. Tegis takes over the field-access half: one code per asset opens the current procedure in a phone browser, and the free tier covers a pilot line before you talk to anyone in sales.
- Sign up free: 25 procedures with QR + PDF, no sales call
- Migration help converting your existing procedures
- No per-seat fees: price scales with procedures, not logins
Why teams look beyond Link360
Procedures still sit behind an app and a sign-in
Link360 can open a procedure from a scanned tag, but only inside its mobile app after signing in. Every Tegis procedure opens from the asset QR in a plain phone browser, with no install and no login.
Migration feels like lock-in
Years of procedures in a proprietary structure. We convert your priority assets with you, and your data exports with you if you leave.
Labels mean buying into a printer line
Link360 prints tags and energy-source labels through Brady printers and Brady label stock. If you already run Brady hardware that is fine; if not, the printer becomes part of the decision. Tegis labels print on any standard printer, or you can order them pre-printed.
Score both systems on your own floor
One asset, two systems, timed. What matters is what the night shift reaches for at 2 a.m.
| Criterion | What good looks like |
|---|---|
| Machine-specific authoring | Energy table with magnitudes, isolation points, photos pinned to the step, verification. Not a PDF upload with a title page. Time both vendors building your asset. |
| QR field access | Scan opens the current approved procedure in a phone browser with no app and no login. Test it standing at the machine, not in slides. |
| PDF export quality | Asset ID, energy sources, isolation steps, photos, verification, QR code. Put ours next to your audit requirements and read it line by line. |
| Inspection tracking | Per-procedure due dates with automatic certification: machine, date, employees, inspector. The annual review writes itself instead of chasing a spreadsheet. |
| Tag & label printing | Print QR labels in-house on whatever you already own: Avery-style sheets through any laser or inkjet, or thermal roll labels via ZPL. No Brady printer or Brady media required. |
| Migration path | Your exported procedures are rebuilt in the structured format with you, highest-risk assets first. Not bulk-imported and left stale. |
| Pricing as you grow | Ask both vendors for the same thing: what 25, 100, and 300 procedures cost in year three, with a second site in the mix. |
What the switch gets you
A pilot before a purchase order
Create the workspace and build up to 25 procedures free, QR linking and PDF export included. No sales call to see whether the workflow fits your floor.
Migration done asset by asset
Send an exported Link360 procedure and we rebuild it in the structured format with you, highest-risk machines first instead of a bulk import of stale files.
Costs that track procedures
Price moves with procedures and sites. Technicians, operators, and reviewers are not billable seats, so you can give the whole shift access on day one.

What the move actually gets you
A pilot you can judge in weeks on your own equipment, without a rip-and-replace commitment.
- 25 procedures free with QR linking and PDF export: enough for a full line
- Migration of your highest-risk assets, done with you rather than to you
- Print QR labels locally on any standard printer at no extra cost
- Prefer not to print? Order durable pre-printed labels online and link them to procedures when they arrive
- Posted PDFs with the same QR code for offline areas
- Your procedures exportable, so the data never becomes leverage against you
- Side-by-side support: the same asset run through both systems
Three live tests for both vendors
Test 1
Define the gap
Unwritten procedures, unreachable procedures, or audit scramble: score against your gap, not generic checklists.
Test 2
Test your real workflow
One asset, its energy details, its current file. Each vendor authors it, tags it, scans it, exports it, timed.
Test 3
Pilot before you commit
Run 10–20 assets live. If techs prefer the scan over the binder, the decision makes itself.
Switching questions, answered
How does pricing compare to Link360?
Link360 is an annual subscription tiered by scope: get current tiers from Brady in writing. Tegis is free to 25 procedures, then scales by procedures and sites with no per-seat fees. Compare the 3-year total for your asset count.
Is there a free Brady Link360 alternative?
Tegis is free up to 25 procedures with QR linking and PDF export: enough to pilot a full line. Full multi-site programs with inspection volume are paid everywhere; use free to prove the workflow first.
Can we use LOTO software without a subscription?
Live QR access, inspection tracking, and support are subscription features in every tool. Printed PDFs work without any login. Ask each vendor exactly what keeps working if a subscription lapses.
Can we migrate our Link360 procedures?
Yes. Export what you have, rank by risk, and convert the top 10–20 into structured procedures with fresh isolation photos. We help with the first conversion, and a Tegis partner can carry the rest if your team does not have the hours.
Who writes the procedures in Tegis?
Your authorized employees do. They service the machines, so they are the authors of record, and Tegis supplies the structure, photo capture, review states, and audit trail. If you lack the bandwidth, a Tegis partner can survey the equipment and write or convert the procedures inside your workspace.
Should we stay with Link360 instead?
If your plant is standardized on Brady printers and labels and techs reliably find current procedures, staying avoids a migration with no problem behind it. Switch when the subscription outgrows the value or field access fails: run one asset through both systems first.
Do we need special printers or label stock?
No. Tegis labels print on any standard laser or inkjet using Avery-style sheet layouts, and thermal label printers are supported through ZPL output. If you would rather not print at all, order durable pre-printed labels from Tegis and link them to procedures once they arrive. Link360, by comparison, prints tags and energy-source labels through Brady printers and Brady label stock.
Run the same asset in both systems.
Bring one procedure. We will build it live so you can judge the workflow, not the slides.
