Construction Materials – Brick Forming
In large brick forming facilities, parallel conveyors can be used to transport bricks between the hazardous forming process to the packaging and palletiser areas.
Paper Machine Safety and Preventing Machine Restart – Roller / Winder
In paper production, access to machinery is required on a frequent basis. Whilst performing access, it is crucial to have measures which prevent unexpected restart to keep operators safe from harm.
Construction Materials – Instantaneous Access to a Brick Setter
Instant access to machinery can be achieved with a monitoring only interlock. When whole body access is also being performed in these locations, measures should be designed to mechanically prevent unexpected restart. Learn more about the Fortress Solution in this article.
Construction Materials – Clay Extrusion Silo Safety- Whole Body Access & The Escape Release
Designing a safeguarding solution for whole body access with an escape release. When are Proactive Inhibit Functions unnecessary for safe access? Learn more about the Fortress Solution in this article.
Human Machine Interface – Warehouse Automation
Human Machine Interface is often used to support hazardous processes. How can you prevent the wrong people accessing these devices?
Pallet Conveyors with Interlock and Integrated RFID Access
Pallet conveyors require access in normal operation, however making sure the right operators are performing tasks is critical.
Straddle Carriers – Gantry Access
At Fortress we have provided solutions across many different industries to help reduce risk in applications that involve working at height. Straddle Carriers have different methods of accessing the control position of the carrier. In the case where parking gantries are used a Solenoid Interlock with built in control is a perfect solution… Continue reading Straddle Carriers – Gantry Access
AGV Temporary Guarding
With Automated Guided Vehicles becoming more prevalent in the workplace roles originally filled by a human operator will change from physically doing the work to supervising robotic processes. Where a human may need to interact with these systems a requirement for temporary guarding based on a risk assessment may be identified. … Continue reading AGV Temporary Guarding
Automated Palletizer
Palletising cells require fast access, as boxes can fall relatively often and can cause errors or even damage goods with machines carry on without realising it. So having controls at the gate provides that fast response time when an operator sees a box fall or be misplaced. While you may want… Continue reading Automated Palletizer
