Enhancing Safety and Productivity with Safety Light Curtains



Client: Mechanical Assembly Systems (I) Pvt Ltd

Industry: Manufacturing – Packaging for Electronics

Challenge: Improving operator safety on a machine producing paper-molded products


Background


Kshipraa Mechatronics, a pioneer in developing cutting-edge machinery and automation solutions, enables businesses to achieve operational excellence. One of their clients, a manufacturer of eco-friendly packaging for electronic goods from waste paper, faced a critical safety challenge when an operator sustained an injury during machine operation.


Objective


To enhance workplace safety and minimize the risk of future incidents without compromising productivity.


Solution


Kshipraa Mechatronics designed and implemented Safety Light Curtains within robotic manufacturing cells. These advanced safety devices create an invisible barrier around the machine, automatically halting operations if the barrier is breached by a hand or object, preventing potential harm to operators.


The robot manufacturing cells were seamlessly integrated into the production line to ensure the following:


  • Enhanced Safety: Real-time detection and prevention of unsafe access.

  • Optimized Efficiency: Minimal downtime while maintaining full productivity.

  • Ease of Use: Non-invasive, user-friendly system for operators.


Implementation


The project involved:


  • Conducting a safety assessment of the existing production line.

  • Installing Safety Light Curtains at strategic points around the machine.

  • Integrating the curtains with robotic assembly systems to ensure swift and automated responses to potential safety breaches.

  • Providing operator training to ensure seamless adoption of the new safety measures.


Results


  • Zero Incidents Post-Implementation: No further injuries reported since the deployment of the Safety Light Curtains.

  • Increased Efficiency: Operators reported a more confident and streamlined workflow.

  • Compliance: The solution met industry safety standards and boosted the client’s safety reputation.

  • Future-Ready Production Line: The use of robotic manufacturing cells future-proofed the client's operations, allowing scalability and further automation.


Conclusion


Kshipraa Mechatronics successfully transformed a potentially hazardous production line into a benchmark of safety and efficiency. This project not only enhanced workplace safety but also demonstrated Kshipraa's expertise in leveraging innovative technology to drive measurable results for its clients.
