Introduction Background
Automotive manufacturer D had in-house safety standards in place for introducing and utilizing industrial robots, but these did not address collaborative robots, meaning the company was unable to proceed with the introduction of collaborative robots as it had hoped.
Believing that the active introduction of collaborative robots and the establishment of internal safety standards are essential to improving productivity in the future, the company contacted us with the aim of updating its internal safety standards to accommodate collaborative robots and improving the safety skills of the departments involved in the introduction of collaborative robots.
The implementation was handled by our Safety Promotion Office, which employs qualified "Safety Lead Assessors" - safety professionals with a wide range of knowledge about safety, including domestic laws, international safety standards, and risk assessments.
