Real shops, real schools, real numbers.
GRIT runs in university fabrication labs, high-school shop classes, community makerspaces, and production floors. Below are named deployments and the organizations trusting GRIT with their equipment.
Access and time records tied to real work.
From training-based machine access in a high-school shop to door access and payroll-ready time records in manufacturing, GRIT connects permissions to the way each facility operates.
Champaign Central High School
GRIT returned to the founders’ former school in 2026 with a donated $41,000 workshop safety system. It ties RFID machine access to student training, automates dust collection, monitors air quality, and schedules maintenance.
VOLTZby Raptor Power Systems
VOLTZ uses GRIT Track SignOn to record employee hours and job codes, with timecard exports feeding payroll every 2 weeks. GRIT mobile wallet cards and encrypted DESFire physical cards also control interior and exterior doors through GRIT Track RFiD readers and GRIT Latches, with permission groups assigning the right access level to each employee. A nightly batch report alerts operations when an employee does not sign out, while rapid sign-out keeps the shared kiosk moving at shift change.
Organizations trusting GRIT with their shops.

What operators say after GRIT is running.
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 Watch the UIUC story →
