Overview
This Early November 2025 release delivers significant enhancements across Barcodes, Locations, and Lockout Tagout (LOTO) functionality in BoxLock Control.
Key improvements include the ability to share Employee Barcodes at creation, bulk upload support with roles, and SMS notifications for checked-in employees. Location management has been optimized for large-scale operations (1,000+ locations) with faster nested list views, live status indicators including LOTO status, and a new Approval Location Type.
The LOTO system now offers configurable features like single-line previews, individual lock tracking, and PIN code re-entry controls, plus integrated Fieldwire task updates for tool check-ins/check-outs. Additional refinements include streamlined bulk import icons, improved dialog boxes with close buttons, and resolved barcode display issues.
