Why this matters in practice
Certified by design
TÜV Rheinland–certified functional safety up to PL d
Minimal disruption
Zoned safety logic avoids full system shutdowns
Consistent & Fast deployment
Plug-and-play. Each project requires only one dedicated safety controller
Integrated and Expandable
Standard interfaces enable third-party safety device integration and system expansion
Who is protected?
controlled robot behavior
zoned safety stops
safety event tracking
Picking / Put away Workstation
During picking / put away operations, protective measures such as safety light curtains are employed to provide intrusion detection, ensuring the safety of the human-robot interaction
Maintenance Area
During maintenance operations, a dedicated robot entrance with a specially designed structure is used to segregate pedestrian and vehicle traffic, creating a safe maintenance space
Safety Door & other units
During leaning or anomaly handling operations, an interlocking guard with guard locking controlled by a safety PLC is utilised to ensure the safe entry and exit of personnel in the robotic area.
