Holistic approach

Jeremy continues: "With the introduction of new product concepts and harmonised standards which have shifted the safety ethos away from human intervention based on ‘zero accidents’ to risk assessments based on ‘zero risk’, engineers have had to work hard to keep up-to-date."

He adds: "Today, safety has to extend beyond simply allowing optimal safety control but must be part of a holistic view of production."

Mitsubishi Electric's broad range of products and integrated systems allows full visualisation of safety information, allowing optimal safety control while also boosting productivity. The result, according to Mitsubishi, is worker, machine and system safety plus industry-leading productivity and performance.
