Overview

Since their founding, IDEC has been focused on creating safe working environments for humans who interact with industrial machinery. To that end, they’ve developed many safety-related devices that are comprehensively designed for safety, reliability, and ease of use. Safety solutions from IDEC are designed to be integrated into existing workflows or industrial environments to create a safer workplace without having to sacrifice productivity.

As automation becomes increasingly necessary in industrial environments, the need for safety has never been stronger. That’s why IDEC has worked to develop their next-generation safety philosophy, focused on streamlining safety practices between humans and machines. But this safety philosophy isn’t just about keeping human operators out of harm’s way. It also aims to create a cooperative safety protocol where machines are able to sense any potential dangers for human operators. This allows operations to create more comprehensive safety environments.

Through products like safety laser scanners and light curtains, industrial robots are able to detect the presence of human workers within areas of operation (or detect human workers within off-limits machinery zones) and tailor their behaviors to accommodate the safety of that worker. In that sense, IDEC focuses on creating comprehensive, productive industrial environments where safety is a top concern.

Cross Company also understands the importance of safety equipment when working within industrial automation. That’s why we’re proud to partner with a company like IDEC, so we can provide outstanding automation solutions without having to sacrifice safety or productivity.
