Safety Engineering
Single-source, independent, consistent safety-related solutions
Recognising safety related aspects early on is becoming more and more important from a economic point of view and in regards to liability. The EDAG team "safety-related services" has been working in this area for over a decade. The range of services covers the safe implementation of machines and production facilities, creation of new concepts taking into account "functional safety" requirements in highly complex systems and support for the operators concerning industrial safety.
Legal provisions and current standards in conjunction with practice-oriented solutions are all significant. Innovative, highly complex safety components and concepts require new evaluations and development strategies. We implement these tasks consistently using the ideal combination of a large, independent engineering company with practical experts.
Inter-divisional views on planning, mechanics, control technology, safe electronics as well as complete systems and site safety support allow all support services from the detailed task to the complete safety-related support in all product phases.
