Be on the safe side – Understanding machine safety

Functional safety? This term and the concept behind it are not immediately comprehensible to many customers and new employees of Sick AG.

The online module “Functional Safety at a glance” provides interested parties with a sound overview of the most important issues in 10 minutes. They learn what is behind the term, why this concept is so important and how it can be implemented in companies.

Interested parties can explore these questions in two different levels of detail – for a brief overview, the question is answered with one sentence. Those who want to know more can explore even more details in 1 – 2 minute interactive explanations and learn what the answer in each case means for practice.

This short training makes Functional Safety tangible and applicable for customers and employees.

SICK AG has been an IM|S project partner since 2016.
