Safety rules documentedInterlocks that prevent one device from operating when another condition exists.

Before

The challenge

LanXess makes chemical products in large production facilities. Across those facilities, thousands of equipment interlocks, the rules that prevent one device from operating when another condition exists, had been tracked only in an unwieldy set of Excel spreadsheets.

LanXess asked J Street to document those interlocks, and the devices they govern, in a single tool.

After

What we built

J Street built the Interlock Management application, a modern web application that stores and documents data on thousands of chemical engineering devices and the interlocks that govern them.

The application was designed to present large, complex data sets, maximizing sorting, filtering, and presentation of the data. Each device can have child records of various types, all shown in detail on a Device Detail screen.
