Safety Systems That Protect People and Uptime

We design safety systems to ISO 13849 using safety PLCs, light curtains, safety relays, and other safety devices.

A well-designed safety system protects people without getting in the way of production. Operators shouldn't feel like they need to bypass it.

  • Safety PLC programming (Allen-Bradley GuardLogix)
  • Light curtain, safety mat, and door interlock integration
  • Safety relay and safety module wiring and commissioning
  • Risk assessments and safety documentation
  • ISO 13849 compliance support

How a Safety Project Goes

We can take a machine from risk assessment through validation, or pick up at whatever step you're on.

1

Hazard & Risk Assessment

We start by identifying hazards on your equipment and estimating the associated risk level. That sets the Required Performance Level (PLr) for each safety function, so we have a clear target before any design work starts.

2

Define Functional Safety Requirements

Next we pick a safeguard for each hazard: light curtains, fencing, interlocks, two-hand controls, or something else. The goal is the right protection without choking production.

3

Design & Verify the System

We design the system, document the safety circuit, and order the components. Every design is checked against the PLr targets before anyone pulls a wire.

4

Install & Validate

After installation, we test every safety function against its requirements and the applicable standards. You get sign-off documentation for audits and inspections.

5

Maintain & Improve

Safety functions need to be checked over time. We help set up preventive maintenance checks, and we're around when the machine changes and the safety system has to change with it.

Hardware We Work With Every Day

We spec, wire, program, and test all of these.
