Account Manager - South Region Expanding Your Collaborative Robot Work Envelope Industrial robots have a defined work envelope or reach but there are situations in some applications where this reach is not sufficient to satisfy the application's requirements. Solutions include the addition of another robot, utilizing a larger robot or just to move the robot itself. We will explore the possible methods available to move the robot and expand the robot's reach, how to integrate these methods into your system, how to control this motion, how to size the mechanism and discuss the potential challenges in doing this. |

Functional Safety Expert Demystify the Use of Category 2 and Category 3 Category is one element used when designing a safety system to meet its required Performance Level (PL) according to ISO 13849-1:2015 Safety of machinery -- Safety-related parts of control systems -- Part 1: General principles for design. This session will explore how each category impacts circuit design options. It will look at technology changes and how categories can influence the robot system. We'll explore different methods of diagnostic coverage and its affect for the overall performance level when used with different categories. A dive into the standards and its history will reveal how technical advances have expanded and will continue to change the options available for fault detection. Looking at an example with power and force robots used in collaborative applications will demonstrate the concepts in a practical manner. |

General Manager - Automation Systems Group Safeguarding Collaborative Applications Assuring personnel are safe while interacting with a robot relies on more than just the robot. It's the entire application that needs to be considered. Should we accept that applying a safe robot results in a safe operation? These Case Studies will demystify Safeguarding of Robotic Collaborative Applications with and without Power & Force Limiting (cobot) technologies. |

Regional Head of Advanced Robotic Applications Case Study on Mobile Robot Safety Faced with the growing demand for more personalized and varied products in a competitive global marketplace, today's manufacturers are looking for faster, more creative ways to overcome space limitations and other complex production challenges. Many have turned to collaborative and mobile robotics systems to meet their needs. Combining the strengths of a collaborative robot with an autonomous mobile platform, these vehicles use intelligent software and sensors to navigate crowded factory floors and perform a number of tasks. But how does a manufacturer know if an autonomous mobile robot (AMR) is right for their application? And just as important: how do they implement them safely? Using real-world case studies, this presentation will show how autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are being safely used to increase the flexibility of automation projects in different work settings. The speaker will walk attendees through the safety considerations and benefits of each project, as well as provide working definitions of industry-specific topics. |

Safety Standards & Competence Manager Benefits of a Comprehensive Risk Assessment Many robot system integrators (and users) feel constrained by the requirements of the current robot safety standard regarding performance requirements for safety-related parts of the control system (SRP/CS). However, this perception results in unnecessary and sometimes over burdensome limitations, complexity, and expense to the design of safety-related control systems. By now, many designers are aware that both the Robot (in Part 1) and the Robot System (in Part 2) must meet the safety-related control systems requirements of either: (a) Performance Level (PL) with structure category 3 according to ISO 13849-1, or (b) Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 2 with hardware fault tolerance of 1 with proof test interval of not less than 20 years according to IEC 62061. Surprising to many in the industry, these requirements are in fact not ˜mandatory. |

Controls Manager What You Don't Know About Collaborative Robot Safety CAN Hurt You AMT Proposal for 90 Minute Workshop on "Collaborative Robot System Safety" for the International Robot Safety Conference sponsored by the RIA October 15-17 2019 in Indianapolis, IN. What You Don’t Know About Collaborative Robot Safety CAN Hurt You Take advantage of our experience and learn from real life systems. With all the increasing hype and exposure, promises of reduced cost and integration time, more and more people are assuming the "people-friendly" robots are the best and safest choice. While that may be true it is important to understand how the application as a whole meets the RIA and applicable guidelines. Often the integration of a collaborative robot with other equipment may or may not allow for the safety features to be capitalized on. AMT Engineers will walk you through collaborative applications we've designed and installed and then turn over a project to you to work on in teams. Our examples will include KUKA, FANUC, and Universal Robots with traditional robots in collaborative modes and collaborative robots with secondary safeties.

Lead Functional Safety Engineer Using Data and Fleet Monitoring to Mitigate Risks While the system architecture, hardware, and associated firmware determine baseline robotic safety, the wealth of data provided by Brain Corp's cloud connectivity provides tremendous benefits in a wide range of safety applications. This in-depth talk will review the major ways in which Brain Corp uses this data to increase the safety of the fleet and drive a closed-loop continuous improvement process surrounding the system's safety functions. Key areas include: Code validation using simulation with real-world data; Proactive system monitoring in which triggering safety indicators can be continuously updated; root-cause analysis for reported incidents; Rapid, automated safety-related response capability such as remotely disabling a unit. |

Engineering Services Manager Modern Safety Technology for Robot Guarding Learn about some of the advancements in technologies related to safety switches and controllers. Uptime being extremly important to companies, it is becoming more critical to develop devices that have a longer life expectance as well as providing increased diagnostic capabilites. This can be done visually through indicator lights as well as through standard field bus communication protocols. Advance technology does not need to be difficult to use or understand. Eiser installation and more information will increase productivity and uptime while being cost effective. |

Advanced Controls Engineer Mobile Robotic Safety at Ford Ford Motor Company has developed a rigorous testing process to ensure the safety of workers walking near mobile robots. This testing procedure challenges the on-board safety features of the mobile robot and calibrates the speeds and detection fields until Ford is satisfied with the safety behaviors of the mobile robot. Only then do they place the mobile robot into operation around workers. |
