Systems That Work Together
Five integrated solutions. Mix and match for your needs.
Each one works standalone — together they're unstoppable.
Automated dust collection that protects your people. Blast gates open when tools power on.
- Automated blast gates and dust collection
- VFD control for energy savings
- Dust intensity sensing
- Air quality triggered filtration
- Filter pressure monitoring
- Efficient suction routing — no wasted airflow
Tool-level security with complete accountability. If a user lacks permission, the tool will not receive power. Full usage logging and certification tracking.
- User and permission management
- Training and certification tracking
- SSO integration
- Complete audit trails
- Mobile wallet credentials
- LMS and user database integrations
Know where every tool is — always. Barcode and RFID tracking for tools, consumables, and equipment. Complete checkout accountability.
- Barcode and RFID tracking
- Tool checkout accountability
- CSV import/export
- Consumables tracking with billing
- Usage-based maintenance scheduling
- Automated inventory audits
Real-time air quality for health and compliance. PM1.0 through PM10.0, VOC and NOx detection, threshold alerts when conditions exceed safe levels.
- PM1.0 / PM2.5 / PM4.0 / PM10.0 sensing
- VOC and NOx detection
- Threshold alerts and auto-notifications
- Historical compliance reporting
One badge tap — hours tracked, doors controlled. RFID time clock and physical door access control that works with your existing infrastructure. No separate systems needed.
- Badge tap clock in/out
- RFID door access
- Mobile wallet card
- Payroll and attendance export
- Employee and student badge management
Tell us about your shop and we'll recommend the right setup — free, no obligation.

Your Shop Runs Itself While You Create
You got into woodworking to build things — not to wrestle with blast gates or worry about lung health. GRIT handles the boring stuff. You just build.
- Getting up to open and close blast gates every time you switch tools
- Fine dust that bypasses your filter and settles in your lungs
- A dust collector that's either always running or always forgotten
GRIT and iVac are the only two systems on the market for automatic dust control in the small workshop. Having had extensive experience with both, I highly recommend the GRIT system. iVac is essentially old and obsolete technology. GRIT Automation is truly a system of the 21st century.— Dennis Coleman, Home Shop Owner & Past President, Champaign Woodworkers Club
200 Students. 40 Machines. Zero Unauthorized Access.
You're responsible for student safety in a fabrication lab. A sign on the wall isn't enough — you need something that physically locks machines until students are certified.
- No physical way to stop untrained students from powering on dangerous equipment
- Paper sign-off sheets that nobody updates and nobody trusts
- Admin asks for utilization numbers and you've got nothing
I chose GRIT so that I could keep students in my shop safe and expand their opportunities for learning more of our tools. The GRIT system allows me to focus on those that need the most help instead of worrying about everyone at the same time when the shop is busy.— Lowell Miller, Fabrication Coordinator, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign
10 Machines or 200. One System Runs It All.
Your collector runs full power whether one tool is on or fifty. That's thousands a year down the drain. GRIT scales the system to match the actual load.
- Dust collectors running full power whether one machine is on or fifty
- No per-machine energy data — just one big electric bill and no answers
- Compliance gaps you won't discover until the next OSHA walk-through
Up and Running in Days, Not Months
From first call to full automation — here's how we make it painless.
Share your tools, layout, and goals. Our team maps your space and recommends the right stack.
We design a system tailored to your space — which products, where they go, how they connect.
Plug-and-play hardware. Most installations take under a day. Remote or on-site support available.
Your dashboard goes live. Dust, access, assets, air — all automated and managed from your phone or computer. You're off to the races.
The Gear Behind the Automation
Industrial-grade, plug-and-play hardware. Designed and assembled in the USA.
