The podcast series “Automation World Gets Your Questions Answered,” was started in 2019. It connects Automation World subscribers with industry experts to get the answers to many questions on machine automation, Industry 4.0/networking, safety, and new technologies.
On June 25, our tec.nicum Engineering Services manager, Devin Murray, appeared on the podcast with the topic
What Should Manufacturers Understand About the New ISO Robot Standard?
In this episode Devin explains the new ISO 10218 robot standard, how it interacts with other parts of the ISO 10218 series of standards, how manufacturers can integrate it with their existing robotic systems, and for what kinds of manufacturing operations this standard is considered critical.
Why this podcast is worth listening to:
- Get clarification on the ISO 10218 standard's emphasis on "collaborative applications" versus "collaborative robots" and why the entire robotic application must be evaluated for safety.
- Learn how the harmonization of U.S. ANSI standards with ISO 10218 enables manufacturers to get ahead of upcoming regulatory changes.
- Get insights intohow this safety standard can be integrated with production management systems to track e-stops, monitor safeguards, and reduce downtime.
