Manufacturers looking for help with safety system design and installation have new resources available to them as part of the Machinery Safety System Integrator programme from Rockwell Automation. Seven new members joined in the second half of 2016, bringing the total number to 33.
“Since its launch in 2014, this program has become a valuable resource to help manufacturers more easily find system integrators with proven safety expertise,” said Christo Buys, business manager Control Systems, Rockwell Automation sub-Saharan Africa. “These integrators have a deep understanding of safety standards and know how to apply safety while also improving productivity.”
The seven new members of the programme include:
• AND Automation, a Rockwell Automation Solution Partner based in the United Kingdom.
• Control System Services, a Rockwell Automation Recognised System Integrator located in the United Kingdom.
• Elm Electrical, a Rockwell Automation Solution Partner located in Massachusetts.
• Fairfield Control Systems, a United Kingdom-based Rockwell Automation Recognised System Integrator.
• H&G Systems, a Rockwell Automation Recognised System Integrator based in the United Kingdom.
• Millennium Control Systems, a Rockwell Automation Solution Partner based in Ohio.
• Simatec, a Rockwell Automation Recognised System Integrator based in Brazil.
To join the Machinery Safety System Integrator programme, companies must be current Rockwell Automation Solution Partners or Recognised System Integrators with three to five years of machine safety experience. They must complete an intensive education and assessment process. Rockwell Automation also recognises third-party certification from industry-accepted organisations, such as TÜV or exida.
After meeting these initial requirements, each candidate’s safety engineers complete training modules on topics such as global safety standards, safety risk assessment practices, and safeguarding mitigation and validation. Finally, each candidate must submit a machinery safety project that is consistent with global standards.
System integrators interested in joining the programme should contact their local Rockwell Automation sales office.
