Always have control over who has access to your equipment
Start-Manager allows you to control who has access to your equipment in two ways:
Using the heavy-duty stainless steel keypad you can allow access to your equipment with a programmable 4-digit code. The Start-Manager system has local storage for over 1000 unique codes.
You can utilize your existing building access cards or fobs. The Start-Manager system can work with both HID H10301 and EM4100/4001 compatible cards. This system has local storage for over 1000 unique proximity card numbers.
Note: You can simplify the process by assigning operators individually or in groups through our smPORTAL

Making your Daily Safety Checks easy
OSHA requires that all forklifts, material handling equipment and machinery have a safety check performed at the start of each shift – regulation 1910.178(q)(7).
Are you completing a safety check for every shift?
How are you managing exceptions (failed items)?
Do you have too much ‘Paper’ to track?

The Start-Manager system makes it easy because it ensures that you are performing a proper safety check at the start of each shift. You set up the number of shifts per day, and the start of the first shift, and Start-Manager does the rest.
Vehicle will not start until safety check is completed
Questions are displayed in random order to the operator
After a failed safety check, you can choose whether or not the vehicle can start (supervisor release) or simply record the information
Information can be easily retrieved via your existing Wi-Fi network
Focus only on the exceptions, not the paperwork
