Veo Robotics, a company that develops systems for industrial automation, says its flagship product FreeMove has received safety certification from TÜV Rheinland for its industrial robot safeguarding system – making it a “first-of-its-kind solution for human-robot collaboration”.

Veo says FreeMove is the only solution on the market today that implements dynamic, 3D speed and separation monitoring and has been certified for compliance with ISO 13849 for PLd, Category 3. It is available for purchase now.

“After spending the last four years visiting factories, working with our manufacturing customers, and building FreeMove, we are thrilled to be able to offer the fully safety-certified system.”

Additionally, Atlanta-based Factory Automation Systems (FAS) has joined Veo’s Certified Systems Integrator program.

FAS is an industry veteran of nearly 30 years specializing in the creation of custom turnkey solutions. FAS will include FreeMove® as part of its safety solution offering to customers.
