Machine Safety Design Hub

OMRON's Machine Safety Design Hub MS1 web application
helps users comply with safety standards. Here's a quick look at the tool.

Machine Safety Design Hub provides integrated processes and knowledge for machine safety design

Safety design tasks are challenging due to reliance on individual expertise and personal work styles

  • Compliance with the
    latest standards
  • The quality of safety
    design varies depending
    on the engineer skills
  • Increased burden of
    creating technical
    documents
  • Limited knowledge
    sharing due to
    specialization

Point 1Achieve excellence in safety design, regardless of individual proficiency

BeforeDifferences in machine safety expertise led to inconsistencies in safety design.

AfterBy standardizing design processes and content, consistent safety design quality is achieved for risk analysis, risk evaluation, and risk reduction measures, regardless of the engineer's experience.

Risk Analysis/Risk Evaluation Standardization

Administrators can customize “Risk Estimation Methods,” “Risk Level,” and “Risk Acceptance” to match your company's standards. Users then perform risk analysis and risk evaluation following design principles and admin-set guidelines.

Risk Reduction Measures Standardization

Administrators can set risk reduction measures for “Inherently safe design measures,” “Safeguarding and complementary protective measures,” and “Information for Use” via dropdown menus. Users can formulate risk reduction measures by following processes and administrator-set options.

Point 2Safety function evaluation through an intuitive interface

BeforeComplex evaluations were required for each circuit configuration and safety devices, increasing the risk of human error.

AfterPL calculations are automated using pre-registered safety component data, eliminating the need for reliability checks or manual calculations. Storing evaluated safety functions in a library enables reuse across projects, improving efficiency and creating reusable safety design assets.

Safety Function Design/PL Evaluation Efficiency

Supports safety function design based on the latest ISO 13849-1:2023 (latest edition), including safety requirements specification, block diagram creation and PL evaluation.

Safety Function Library Build Assets

By converting pre-assessed safety functions into a library, they can be reused across multiple projects.

Point 3Reduce time and effort for technical documentation and management

Technical Document Creation and Management
StandardizationEfficiencyBuild Assets

BeforeRisk assessment and Technical documents related to safety functions were manually created in Excel, Word, and other tools, resulting in inconsistent formats and time-consuming updates and management.

AfterSince safety design information can be saved at any time, version control of technical documents becomes easier. Additionally, technical documents are automatically generated in a standardized format, reducing the workload.

Progress Management Efficiency

BeforeProgress on risk assessment and risk reduction was managed individually, making real-time status tracking difficult. In addition, there were frequent cases of delays or omissions in information sharing among team members.

AfterNow, the overall progress of risk assessment can be monitored in real time, reducing review workload and rework.
