CSA/RIA Robotic Safety Conference - Toronto


The meetings are being held at the Holiday Inn Select on Dixon Road in Toronto, right next to Pearson International Airport. This is an important conference for users of industrial robot systems because it gives them the chance to meet the people that wrote the standard, CSA Z434. The discussions at past conferences regarding the application of the control reliability requirements in the standard, as well as many other aspects of the use of robotic systems have been really good.... Case studies covering the application of new technologies, such as programmable electronic safety systems, networked interlock and emergency stop devices and programmable limiting devices are presented. There are also a number of other significant training sessions that go with this conference, including: Basic and Advanced Safety Circuit Design, Risk Assessment, Lockout under CSA Z460 and others.

On Monday afternoon, Tom Doyle of Industrial Safety Integration and I will be presenting a session covering risk assessment and control reliability.

Tomorrow is the start of the joint CSA/RIA Robotic Safety conference . The meetings are being held at the Holiday Inn Select on Dixon Road in Toronto, right next to Pearson International Airport. This is an important conference for users of industrial robot systems because it gives them the chance to meet the people that wrote the standard, CSA Z434. The discussions at past conferences regarding the application of the control reliability requirements in the standard, as well as many other aspects of the use of robotic systems have been really good. Many misconceptions about the application of the standard have been cleared up during the panel discussions. Case studies covering the application of new technologies, such as programmable electronic safety systems, networked interlock and emergency stop devices and programmable limiting devices are presented. There are also a number of other significant training sessions that go with this conference, including: Basic and Advanced Safety Circuit Design, Risk Assessment, Lockout under CSA Z460 and others.

On Monday afternoon, Tom Doyle of Industrial Safety Integration and I will be presenting a session covering risk assessment and control reliability. If you are interested in attending, I'm sure that there will be room availble. Follow the link at the beginning of this post for more details.

I'll update you tomorrow night!
