Training Objective
The objective of this training is to present the safety requirements for transport systems used in industry. The training is based on the requirements of the harmonized standard EN 619 – Continuous transport devices and systems – Safety requirements for machinery for the mechanical transport of unit loads, as well as the requirements of the EU Machinery Regulation 2023/12/30.
Transport systems are often integrated with other machines, such as robotic workstations, palletizers, wrapping machines, and warehouses. In addition to basic safety requirements for transport systems, the training covers requirements related to various operational zones within the production process, such as securing access to robot zones, using safety curtains, and muting systems.
Target Audience
This training is dedicated to individuals involved in the design, usage, and maintenance of transport systems alongside other machines in the production line. This includes technical personnel related to design, mechanical engineers, automation engineers, electrical engineers, maintenance managers, investment department staff, and personnel responsible for machine acceptance or commissioning in the facility.
