High-volume automated production & continuous operations

Supports environments where operator safety, productivity and uninterrupted production are critical to daily performance.

Tier 1 converters & compliance-driven production

Supports companies with strict safety standards, regulatory requirements and highly structured production processes.

Mixed machine fleets & automated workflows

Provides a consistent safety approach across platforms while enabling safe, efficient material handling without disrupting flow.

Safety upgrades for existing production lines

Enables current production environments to meet evolving safety requirements and operational standards without major disruption.

Operational benefits

Maintain operator safety with clear system visibility

The safety system combines machine protection such as fencing, light curtains, emergency stops and mirrors with an enhanced iPC 3.4 interface and synchronized signal lights for clear system-wide communication.

Operational benefits:

  • Protects operators in automated production environments
  • Provides clear visual safety status across the system
  • Enables controlled restart after safety stops
  • Helps reduce interruptions and improve response to safety events

One unified safety concept across platforms

The same external safety cabinet concept is used for both C series and Ultimate series platforms.

Operational benefits:

  • Consistent safety behavior across machines and platforms
  • Simplifies installation and integration
  • Simplifies operator training and maintenance
  • Reduces spare parts complexity across facilitiess
