Overview

The September 2025 release introduces several important features and fixes to enhance BoxLock Control functionality, with a focus on improving LOTO (Lock Out Tag Out) capabilities and organizational management.

New Features

Verkada Integration

• Enhanced Security Ecosystem: The integration with Verkada creates a unified security solution that combines BoxLock's smart access control with Verkada's cloud-based security platform, providing comprehensive visibility and control over secured areas.
• Visual Verification: BoxLock events are now linked with Verkada camera footage, creating visual verification of all access events and improving situational awareness at secured entry points.
• Centralized Management: Verkada cameras appear in the BoxLock Control Devices List and can be added to Locations, with BoxLock events appearing as Alerts in Verkada, streamlining security operations.
• Real-time Monitoring: Security personnel receive immediate notifications for BoxLock access and potential intrusions, with direct links to live or recorded video, enhancing protection for high-value assets.

LOTO Enhancements

• New Single Line Drawing Dashboard: There is a new Single Line Dashboard for any LOTO Point in BoxLock Control that’s tied to a Fieldwire drawing that displays the Single Line Drawing where viewers can click on a LOTO Point and pull up the LOTO Tag for that Point.
• LOTO Text Notifications: Workers can now receive text notifications if equipment is still locked out at a predetermined time period.
• Energization Types Filter: When editing LOTO Locations, only enabled energization types will be displayed.
