In the constantly-developing landscape of industrial automation, ensuring the safety of workers remains a top priority. As technologies such as Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) become increasingly widespread in industrial settings, it is essential to establish firm safety measures and protocols to reduce potential risks associated with their operation.
At SK Robotics, safety is embedded into the design and performance of our AMRs & AGVs. Every system integrates multi-layered features to protect both operators and equipment, ensuring reliable and secure performance in all environments.
Modern AMRs must be able to operate while maintaining full awareness of their surroundings. This requires advanced control systems capable of regulating speed, detecting obstacles, and responding to potential hazards in real time.
One example is the NavWiz system , used in our products. It combines speed management with obstacle detection to create a layered safety approach:
This system uses obstacle detection capabilities to anticipate and respond to potential hazards immediately. Upon detecting obstacles within predefined “Speed Reduction” regions,NavWiz automatically reduces the AMR’s movement speed to a safe level. If an obstacle is detected within the “Safety Stop Region,” NavWiz initiates an immediate stop, preventing collisions and ensuring operator safety.
Working independently from the NavWiz system , the Safety Controller acts as a secondary safeguard. It continuously monitors the AMR’s environment and speed. If the AMR does not slow down appropriately in response to obstacles, the Safety Controller enforces a stop by cutting motor power, providing an added layer of assurance against potential risks.
Safety in AMR & AGV designs go beyond compliance, it’s about building trust in automation. At SK Robotics, we focus on integrating advanced sensing, monitoring, and control technologies to reduce risks, safeguard personnel, and optimize workplace efficiency.
With systems like NavWiz and independent Safety Controllers, our products are engineered to handle real- world challenges while maintaining the highest levels of operational safety.
