Case Study- Three Example Stories

A worker collaborates with an automated robotic arm in a shared-space robot cell, efficiently sorting and managing materials in an organized industrial setting.

Shared-space robot cell (pilot)

A manufacturer needed frequent access to a robot work cell for inspection and replenishment. Traditional guarding slowed the process and encouraged workarounds. The team wanted predictable safety behavior without turning the cell into a maze of gates and exceptions.

They implemented SR-1 with redundant 3D coverage and tied zone behaviors to their risk assessment. The safety controller used defined outputs to drive reduced speed in an outer zone and stop in an inner zone. The integrator documented zone intent, measured stop time under realistic conditions, and validated expected behavior at commissioning.

Operators gained controlled access for normal tasks without constant nuisance stops. Engineering gained a documented safety design they could defend during reviews. The plant gained a path to standardize the approach across similar cells.

A worker collaborates with mobile robots in a busy mixed-traffic area, highlighting advanced automation in the workplace.

Mixed-traffic area with mobile automation

A facility ran mobile automation in areas with frequent pedestrian traffic and constant staging changes. The team struggled with inconsistent behavior and difficulty validating safety performance in a changing environment.

They used SR-1’s 3D understanding of the active area to drive consistent safety outputs tied to defined zones and behaviors. The project focused on predictable operation and clear documentation: assumptions, test steps, and a change control plan for layout revisions.

The result was safer operation with a clearer path to EHS approval and future scaling.

Automated robotic arms efficiently work on vehicle chassis assembly, showcasing a large work envelope deployment concept in an advanced manufacturing facility.

Large work envelope deployment concept

A large-envelope application required safety coverage across changing obstructions and multiple access routes. The team needed a design that did not collapse the workspace into oversized restricted areas.

They designed redundant sensor placement to reduce occlusion risk and tied zone definitions to real work tasks. They aligned validation steps to a repeatable process so future changes did not require a full redesign.

The project produced a scalable concept with a defined validation plan and deployment playbook.
