Conferences Wednesday May 27th, 2020

Driverless route to Industrie 4.0

Functional safety for automated guided vehicles (AGV) is a critical success factor with regard to Industrie 4.0. In future, safety architectures for AGVs will need to adapt to each respective AGV application scenario. Case studies show how to facilitate safety and flexibility simultaneously.

Wednesday, May 27th, 10:00 am (EDT)

Human-robot collaboration (HRC) in industrial practice

After the hype surrounding HRC it is now necessary to reconcile safety and productivity. This can only succeed by regarding the whole robot application and by including the issue of safety from the start. It’s important that the whole application is assessed, safeguarded and operated in a way that is legally compliant.
