Safety systems and upgrades

  • Old machines often work perfectly, but the safety systems behind them don’t. We help bring dated equipment up to current standards, with custom-designed safety systems that are smart, compliant, and built to fit the existing setup.

  • From emergency stops to full performance-level-rated systems, we retrofit modern controls without ripping out equipment unnecessarily. That means less downtime, lower costs, and a safer shop floor.

  • Our team includes certified functional safety engineers (TÜV) and we’re experienced with PUWER assessments, CE marking, and compliance with standards like BS EN 13849-1 and BS EN 61508-3. We also verify safety system electrical designs using Sistema and Pascal software.

Is your machine safe?

Many older machines still run well, but outdated safety systems can leave your team at risk. Our expert team is on-hand to answer any questions you may have, and help you decide whether an upgrade is needed.
