Automation & Robotics Safety Solutions

This zone involves high-speed arms or mobile units picking goods for orders. In some installations, the robot works within a closed cell. In others, low force and speed in direction collaboration with staff. While robots meant for collaboration are designed to reduce injury upon contact, risks still arise from the tool itself, the way items are transferred, or sudden motions in tight areas. Space constraints can make things even more dangerous. That's why these systems often require physical separation or barriers that guide people away from danger zones without disrupting the process.

Storage systems such as AS/RS machines, shuttle systems or mobile racks optimize space and speed. But they often interface with human workstations or conveyors. These transitions where goods are passed from machine to person are hotspots for crushing and shearing risks. In brownfield environments, where systems are retrofitted into tight layouts, it’s especially important to prevent access to hazardous areas and design clear and safe traffic zones.
