Sanitation windows do not wait for a binder
Line breakdowns happen inside washdown and changeover windows. A scan at the asset opens the procedure in seconds; a laminated sheet in a drawer does not travel.

Lockout/tagout software for food processing plants
Food plants service mixers, conveyors, ovens, and clean-in-place systems inside sanitation windows that do not move. Tegis keeps every machine procedure current, QR-linked, and printable for the crew on shift.
- Machine-specific procedures for mixers, conveyors, ovens, and CIP skids
- QR scan at the asset opens the current procedure, no app
- Steam, hot water, and chemical energy documented per step
Built for multi-site programs
Where food-plant LOTO programs stall
Sanitation crews rotate constantly
Third-party crews and rotating operators put new people at the machines every week. Read-only scan access means the briefing happens at the asset, not in orientation.
Wet environments destroy paper
Posted copies soak, peel, and disappear. The tag and the PDF both point to the live record, so a destroyed copy costs nothing.
Built for the equipment you actually run
The energy families and crew realities of a food plant, documented per asset.
Equipment food plants run
Mixers, conveyors, ovens, dumpers, palletizers, and CIP skids each get a machine-specific procedure instead of a shared one-pager.
Energy types beyond a breaker
Steam, hot water, caustic and acid lines, pneumatics, and ammonia refrigeration documented with magnitude, isolation, and verification.
QR access at the asset
Sanitation and maintenance scan the tag with any phone. No app install, no shared-tablet rounds.
Rotating crews without seat costs
Readers are never billable seats, so contractor and rotation access is not a licensing decision.
Audit packets on demand
Customer food-safety audits and OSHA visits both want current LOTO records. Per-asset PDFs export in minutes.
One standard across plants
Company → site → asset. The procedure format a reviewer learned in one plant is the same in every plant.
Who runs it
EHS owns it
One current version per asset, owners assigned per site.
Maintenance uses it
Scan at the asset, no binder hunt, no search box.
Corporate sees it
Company → site → asset. Every plant, same standard.
Pilot the line that gets serviced most
Pick the high-turnover line
Frequent changeovers and washdowns are where stale procedures do damage. Start there.
Convert the existing documents
Word files, PDFs, and the notes in the maintenance office become structured procedures with photos. We help with the first batch.
Tag the line and brief both crews
Place linked tags where lockout starts, and brief contractors under 1910.147(f)(2) the same way.
Food plant LOTO questions, answered
Will sanitation crews use it without training?
The scan needs no training: camera, browser, procedure. Sanitation staff read the approved steps; authoring and approval stay with the accounts your team controls.
Does it cover steam, caustic lines, and ammonia?
Yes. Each energy type carries its own magnitude and isolation step, so a mixer with 480V, a steam jacket, and a caustic CIP line gets three documented steps, not one paragraph.
How do we handle third-party sanitation contractors?
Share the QR-linked procedure as part of the contractor briefing required by 1910.147(f)(2). The scan gives their crew the current isolation steps at the machine.
Will the tags survive washdown areas?
Order durable stickers and place them where spray does not reach. If a tag takes damage, a replacement links to the same procedure in minutes.
Will customer food-safety audits accept digital records?
Auditors want a current, retrievable procedure per asset. Per-asset PDFs export with photos, verification steps, and the QR reference, ready to hand over.
We run several plants. Does each get its own setup?
Yes. Each site keeps its own procedures under the company, so corporate EHS holds one standard while each plant sees its own equipment.
Need the procedures written for you?
Provenio Consulting surveys equipment, authors machine-specific procedures, and delivers the program in a workspace your facility owns.
