Safe Access Control for Industrial Manufacturing Operations

Industry

With advancement in technology in recent years, many manufacturing processes have evolved to include even more machine automation, leveraging the benefits of increased production capacity, efficiency and quality, while also delivering a reduction in production operating costs. The growing use of machinery has also increased the potential risk of exposure to hazards. Modern day processes must incorporate data handling, a high level of automation, strict scheduling and rigorous safety controls. The challenge for many businesses is maintaining the highest level of health & safety during normal operation, cleaning & maintenance cycles, while keeping downtime to a minimum.
