SR-1 Certified Fenceless Safety: A New Safety Standard for Human-Robot Collaboration UL 1740, ISO 13949-1:2023, 13849-2:2023, 62998-1, 10218
Join Sensory Robotics for a forward-looking webinar exploring how fenceless safety systems are reshaping the future of industrial automation. As manufacturers face increasing pressure to improve productivity, reduce downtime, and protect workers, traditional guarding methods are becoming a bottleneck rather than a solution.
In this session, we’ll introduce SR-1, the first certified 3D vision system designed to enable safe, scalable human-robot collaboration without physical barriers. Built to meet rigorous standards such as UL 1740 and ISO 13849, SR-1 replaces static fencing with a dynamic, intelligent safety layer—allowing robots to respond to human presence in real time.
But this webinar goes beyond the technology.
We’ll explore what comes next:
How fenceless automation will redefine factory design and floor utilization
The shift from reactive safety systems to predictive, data-driven safety intelligence
How AI and sensor data will unlock continuous improvement in productivity and ergonomics
What OEMs, integrators, and manufacturers must consider as adoption accelerates across industries
This will be an interactive discussion with industry leaders, sharing real-world insights, lessons learned from certification, and perspectives on where safety and automation are headed over the next 3–5 years.
What You’ll Gain
A clear understanding of why traditional safety models are being disrupted
Insight into emerging standards and certification pathways
Practical considerations for deploying fenceless systems in existing operations
A forward view into AI-driven safety, analytics, and autonomous decision-making
Format
Live presentation: Overview of SR-1 and the evolution of safety systems
Expert discussion: Industry trends, adoption challenges, and opportunities
Audience Q&A: Open forum to engage directly with leadership
