Abstract	This paper describes the development of a system based on Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) for safety interlocking and environmental monitoring during ITk Outer Barrel loaded local support QC and later integration. The system has been developed at CERN with a focus on scalability, maintainability and reliability, and is expected to be deployed at the different ITk OB loading and integration sites.
