Tool Access Control & Operation System (TACOS)
What is TACOS?
TACOS is a work in progress.
TACOS is a tool intended to make managing tool access easier. TACOS will allow VHS and hack-/makerspaces in general to install interlock devices on hazardous tools and more easily manage securing access to those tools for trained users.
The VHS Laser Cutter is a great example of an interlock system. TACOS aims to provide a generic alternative for tool specific interlock solutions.
