Radio Safety Stop

Wireless solutions can promote safety, increase efficiency and bring economic benefits when it comes to managing automated guided vehicles and mobile robots. Maintenance interventions under live conditions in normally blocked access areas is a major challenge, particularly if a risk of electric shock exists.

Conductix-Wampfler has been present within automotive production and automated warehouses with energy and data management systems, as well as EMS, Skillet vehicle and pallet shuttles' control solutions, for decades. Now, we are ready to support OEMs with solutions to meet the high demands of manufacturers and logistics specialists in terms of safety and reliability.

Making sure that everything comes to a safe stop...

One of the most significant values within production is safety. The steadily increasing numbers of AGVs and AMRs within the plants can complicate the control of each individual piece of equipment; posing a challenge to the global safety concept. One key safety concern is handling of global emergency stops of autonomous robots within a defined area. Compared to a hard-wired data connection and continuous power supply, wirelessly controlled vehicles with an energy storage on board are more complex to handle. This challenge could be solved by using Conductix-Wampfler’s RadioSafe.

This solution offers a wireless safety stop for mobile vehicles within industrial production lines or automated warhouses. The system handles the transmission of a safe stop command between a non-movable control and various mobile vehicles like transfer cars, skillets, AGVs, AMRs, conveyors.
