The term "robotics safety standards" is particularly relevant in the categories Industry and Factory 4.0, robots and automation. These standards ensure that the use of robots in industry is safe - for people, machines and production processes.
Robotics safety standards are clear rules and specifications on how robots should be built, programmed and operated so that they do not pose a hazard. They help to prevent accidents and ensure the reliable operation of robotic systems. International organisations such as the ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) develop such standards so that companies worldwide work according to the same high safety requirements.
An illustrative example: In a modern car factory, people and robots often work side by side. To prevent a robot arm from accidentally injuring someone during maintenance work, it must be equipped with special sensors and protective devices. Robotics safety standards stipulate exactly which protective measures must be installed and when a robot should switch off automatically.
Those who deal with robotics safety standards ensure greater protection in the workplace, reduce the risk of production downtime and support companies in complying with legal requirements.
