Baosteel, a large steel manufacturer
in China, is entrusting the safety of
personnel at its Shanghai plant to
trapped key interlocking systems
from Castell.

method is prone to abuse, with
potentially disastrous consequences.

eliminate the risk of personnel who
ignore safety procedures putting
themselves in danger, by forcing
operatives to strictly follow a
predetermined series of steps based
on the transmission of keys.
