Asset Access Restrictions
Set and manage acknowledgeable restrictions on specific site assets to ensure safe and compliant operations. The KUDO platform requires personnel to review and confirm asset-specific conditions before proceeding, helping reduce risk, maintain control, and create a clear audit trail across your portfolio.

Common Questions About Asset Restrictions:
What are Asset Access Restrictions in KUDO?
Asset Access Restrictions is a feature within the KUDO platform that allows operators to apply immediate access controls to specific assets — such as individual wind turbines — when conditions change. Restrictions are linked to permissions, ensuring only authorised personnel can proceed, and are communicated directly within the platform.
How does KUDO prevent unauthorised personnel from accessing unsafe or restricted assets?
When a restriction is applied to an asset in KUDO, it becomes visible to all users in the platform and must be acknowledged before a worker can book on to that asset. Restrictions can be linked to competency or approval requirements, so only personnel with the appropriate authorisation can proceed — regardless of how the restriction was communicated.
What scenarios would trigger an asset access restriction in a renewable energy context?
Common scenarios include a turbine requiring maintenance or inspection, an asset experiencing a technical fault, a restriction following a safety event, or a change in working conditions that makes access temporarily unsafe. Restrictions can be applied instantly from the web portal and take effect immediately for all app users.
How are workers notified of an asset access restriction?
When a restriction is active, it is displayed directly in the KUDO mobile app when a worker attempts to book on to the relevant asset. Workers must acknowledge the restriction before proceeding, creating a verifiable record that the information was received and understood.
How does KUDO's Asset Access Restrictions feature support compliance?
By maintaining a central record of all restrictions applied, the personnel who acknowledged them, and the timestamps involved, KUDO provides a complete audit trail. This supports compliance with safety frameworks and simplifies investigations following any access-related incident.
