1. A method of managing an equipment de-energization and locking system, comprising the following steps:
i. identifying an identifier (7′) provided in the equipment (7) intended for maintenance by means of a reader element (11) of a first control device (2), in order to identify a power source (6) which powers the equipment (7) in which an intelligent lock must be inserted;
ii. requesting de-energization and lockout of the power source (6) by means of the first control device (2);
iii. switching off and locking the identified power source (6) by means of the fastening of an intelligent lock (1) onto the power source (6);
iv. verifying the positioning of the intelligent lock (1) with the power source (6) by means of a communication between a communication interface (3) of the intelligent lock (1) and a communication element (8) of the power source (6);
v. locking the intelligent lock (1) by driving an electromechanical latch (4) if a verified position of the intelligent lock (1) corresponds to the identified power source (6) which powers the equipment (7), if the identifier (7′) provided in the equipment (7) intended for maintenance corresponds to the equipment (7) intended for maintenance;
vi. emitting a signal informing a conclusion of the switching off and locking of the power source (6) by means of a communication interface (6) of the intelligent lock (1) to the first control device (2);
vii. identifying collaborators involved in the maintenance of the equipment (7) by means of an identification element (13) of the first control device (2);
viii. performing maintenance of the equipment (7);
ix. identifying for a second time the collaborators involved in the maintenance of the equipment (7) by means of the identification element (13) of the first control device (2) and emitting a signal informing a conclusion of the maintenance of the equipment (7);
x. requesting an unlocking and a switching on of the power source (6) by means of the first control device (2);
xi. unlocking and switching on the power source (6) of the equipment (7) by means of the removal of the intelligent lock (1); and
xii. signaling a conclusion of the unlocking and switching on of the power source (6) of the equipment (7).
