Concept
Safety is a new stage where humans and machines work together
Traditionally, the safety of machinery and equipment has been maintained by human attention.
In this method, the principle of "separation" between machines and people was used, and safety controls such as emergency stop and safety protection measures based on risk assessment were performed.
However, with the advancement of safety technology, it has become possible to reduce the operating speed when a person approaches the machine, and to not stop the machine when the person is away from the machine.
We are moving to a new stage where people and machines work together.
Mitsubishi Electric has a lineup of various products for building safety systems, and proposes total safety solutions that realize “cooperation” between humans and machines.
* In March 2016, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare enacted guidelines for ensuring the safety of machinery and other equipment through functional safety.
