Instant E-Stop Visibility — Without Rewiring or PLC Changes
The retrofit smart E-Stop indicator system
A patent-pending clip-on sensor module and indicator panel that retrofit onto any existing Emergency Stop. Instantly see which E-Stop has been pressed — wireless or USB-C operation, designed for industry, SMEs, and education
How It Works
A retrofit system designed to work with any existing Emergency Stop. No rewiring, no PLC changes.
1. Clip-On Sensor Module
Attaches directly to existing E-Stops without altering wiring.
Uses a magnetic reed or Hall-effect sensor to detect activation.
Battery powered, with optional USB-C wired power/data mode.
2. Wireless or USB-C Communication
Long-range sub-GHz wireless for most workshops and production areas.
USB-C wired mode for RF-restricted environments.
3. Indicator Panel
Displays exactly which E-Stop has been pressed in real time.
Supports optional cloud analytics for history, reporting, and multi-site visibility.

Why It Matters
The Problem
Emergency Stops are pressed thousands of times per day across industry — but operators often have no visibility of which one was triggered.
This causes:
Unnecessary downtime
Slower response during incidents
Poor traceability and safety reporting
Increased training time
Compliance challenges for SMEs and education
Traditional “smart” systems cost £3,000–£10,000 per line and require rewiring or PLC integration.
The Solution
Close Safety Systems provides a simple, low-cost retrofit clip-on module that instantly identifies which E-Stop has been pressed — without touching the safety circuit.
No rewiring
No PLC changes
No installation downtime
Fits any existing E-Stop
Works in both wireless or RF-restricted environments
Why It’s Better
Costs a fraction of existing diagnostic systems
Fully retrofit — installs in minutes
Universal compatibility
Optional cloud analytics for history, reporting, and multi-site visibility
Designed for SMEs, training centres, education, and large industry
