About Amarillo Technologies

Amarillo Technologies was founded to revolutionize safety through the development of novel IoT technologies.

Our story

Built by a safety professional, for safety professionals

Amarillo’s mission is the brainchild of its founder, Jeff Ansel, a safety professional with 20+ years of experience as a Certified Safety Professional operating in complex environments including oil refineries, chemical plants, power plants, and oil & gas facilities. Jeff recognized the need for new safety technologies to guide, automate, make transparent, and document safety processes of all kinds.

He chose LOTØShield as Amarillo’s first safety technology because proper lockout/tagout operations are essential to safety in every environment. While LOTØShield pioneered the category and others have since followed, no solution matches its depth, reliability, and innovation.

The Amarillo team was hand-chosen by Jeff to include only great people who make their customers’ safety their highest value in everything they do.

Mission & values

What we hold ourselves to

Workers first

Every product decision starts with the person hanging the lock. If it isn’t simple and dependable in the field, it doesn’t ship.

Truth in the record

Safety depends on records that reflect what actually happened. We build systems where the record can’t drift from reality.

Close the gaps

Even facilities using current best practices still carry serious gaps, and therefore serious risks. Our job is to close them.
