Custom Machine Guarding for Automated Material Handling
Project Overview:
Automation can improve speed and efficiency, but it also creates new safety needs. UPS needed to protect employees around material handling equipment in an area with limited space. An undisclosed dealer partnered with WireCrafters to develop a machine guarding system that fit the layout and supported safe operations. The custom design gave UPS the protection it needed while allowing the automated process to keep moving.
Customer Description
UPS needed a safe way to protect employees around automated material handling equipment. The available space was tight, which made a standard guarding layout difficult to use. The system needed to create clear separation from moving equipment without limiting the surrounding work area. WireCrafters designed a custom machine guarding solution to fit the space and support safe operations. The finished system improved material handling automation safety while making effective use of the limited space.
Why Choose WireCrafters?
The dealer chose WireCrafters for its product quality, service, engineering support, and competitive pricing. Close collaboration with the WireCrafters design engineers helped the team create a custom solution for the tight space. The system also offered the versatility needed to meet the demands of the application. Its scalable design gives UPS the option to adapt or expand the guarding as future needs change. Strong engineering support and a flexible product made WireCrafters the right partner for the project.
