Description
Accelerator Safety Configuration Control (ASCC) is a novel, web-based application developed over the last several years by the Advanced Light Source at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in partnership with Softtek, a leading IT company based in Mexico, to aid operators with controlling and managing accelerator safety processes. ASCC replaces outdated paper-based configuration management tools with a modern, fully digital ecosystem that provides timesaving automation capabilities, incorporates built-in safeguards to reduce the risk of user error, and is designed to be adaptable to meet future requirements. ASCC provides a single, centralized location for Operators, ALS staff, and users to access a comprehensive suite of resources, including forms, checklists, schedules, procedures, and more whether working on-site or remotely. This talk will focus on providing a general overview of ASCC and an examination of some of the challenges faced during the development process.
