Implementation of safety control systems in laboratory
station for advanced research in energy storage
Introduction
Automated systems have proven to improve safetyand increase productivity. In compliance with OregonTech’s Safety Policy, this project will outline safe andreliable equipment to further the research in energystorage on campus.

The main objectives of this project are:
1. To develop a Safety Study Analysis of incidentcauses
2. To design and implement safety control systems3. To develop engineering documentation and
training
Motivation:• Safety is a priority for Oregon Tech.• Help fellow students to focus on their research not on monitoring the system.

Monitoring System
This work developed safety control systems that wereinstalled on the glove box in the REE Laboratory. The finalgoal ensured that the laboratory station is safer for studentresearchers develop projects without the need to constantlymonitor the glove box variables.Multiple new features:(1)improved safety(2)remote monitoring capabilities(3)graphic user interface (GUI)(4)user's guide and maintenance manuals(5)design and implementation documentation(6)connection to an external Potentiostat.
