Safeguarding your palletizing application
As we start thinking about deployment, Adam takes over for Guillermo and goes over some of the different safety concerns and safety devices you should consider when setting up a palletizing application. When you should use one device over another and why. An example application is set up and you will be taken through the risk assessment process.
Upon completion you will know more about how to approach the topic of safety, by knowing which safety devices are right for your application and knowing the basics of doing a risk assessment.

Next stage:
1. Documenting your existing process
The first steps towards automating your palletizing process is knowing all the ins and outs of it. The Palletizing Evaluation Tool provided in this step helps you document all the relevant aspects of your process that you will need when planning your project. The tool also provides you with a report that points out potential friction points in your process and gives recommendations on how to remove or reduce these friction points.
When you have completed this step, you will have a clear idea of the complexity of your project. You will know potential friction points in your process and how to reduce them.
