AS/RS Protection That Meets Industrial Safety Standards
Project Overview:
WireCrafters provided a machine guarding application for an undisclosed customer to support the safety and efficiency of their automated storage and retrieval system (AS/RS). The customer needed a reliable solution to isolate moving parts and protect personnel working near the automated system. WireCrafters delivered a customized guarding layout that offered clear visibility, modular flexibility, and compliance with safety regulations. The solution enhanced workplace safety and supported smooth operations within the facility, ensuring the AS/RS could function fully without unnecessary downtime or risk.
Customer Description
The customer needed a heavier-duty guarding solution to surround a high-traffic robot cell responsible for sorting cases for storage. The existing setup lacked the durability and protection required to safely contain the rapid and repetitive movements of the robotic arm and the surrounding equipment. With constant motion and heavy case handling, they were concerned about employee safety, potential equipment damage, and overall system reliability. The guarding system had to be rugged enough to withstand daily industrial demands while allowing access and visibility for maintenance and monitoring.
Why Choose WireCrafters?
The customer chose to work with WireCrafters because of their proven track record of delivering reliable, high-quality solutions. Having partnered with WireCrafters in the past, they were confident in the company’s ability to provide a durable and practical guarding system tailored to their specific needs. WireCrafters’ ability to custom engineer a solution, respond quickly, and maintain consistent communication made them the clear choice for this project. Most importantly, the guarding system met all necessary safety standards, giving customers peace of mind that their people and equipment would be protected.
