Solution 04
Machine safety & compliance
A technical retrofit must also address risks created or modified by the change. Machine safety is therefore integrated into the engineering process.
When this solution makes sense
Signals we look for on site.
- Uncontrolled access or incomplete guarding
- Emergency stops or interlocks to be revised
- Modification of an existing machine
- Addition of a robot, cobot or conveyor
- Incomplete technical documentation
Typical scope
What the project can include.
01. Risk identification and safety functions
02. Sensor / actuator / safety logic architecture
03. Mechanical and electrical coordination
04. Functional checks and testing
05. Documentation update for the modified scope
06. Coordination with qualified partners when required
Legal roles, modification scope and obligations are clarified early. Formal assessments requiring specific qualifications can be carried out with specialised partners.
Method
Validate before adding complexity.
Technology choices come after the need, constraints and acceptance criteria are clear.
