1) Tour drives safety offering right across Europe
Trade shows play an important part of the mix when it comes to demonstrating Rockwell Automation safety technology. However, there is nothing better than taking the technology to the customer and the Demonstration Van does just this. Fitted with the latest hardware, it reflects typical factory applications, and our engineers are able to show the technology in action to demonstrate the real benefits.

8) Global Partnerships Matters
For machine builders, success depends not only on building machines that meet customers’ specific performance and reliability demands, but also on differentiating your machines in a competitive global environment. That requires you to define value beyond cost. To succeed, you need an automation supplier who can not only offer you a full range of solutions on a scalable basis, but also deliver the right balance of products, expertise and global aftermarket support.

9) Guardshield Type 4 Safety light curtain
The new Allen-Bradley Guardmaster GuardShield PAC Type 4 safety light curtain is designed for use on hazardous machinery to help boost productivity whilst at the same time increasing the safety of personnel. It can be used on any machinery where a formal risk assessment has determined that a Type 4 (per EN 61496) safety device is sufficient to provide the level of safe-guarding required by the application.

10) Passport to Safety
In today’s marketplace, you have to think globally. And when it comes to selling your products around the world, functional safety can help. You can think of functional safety as a passport that allows your products to travel internationally. Relating to the physical operation of a machine or process, functional safety equals the confidence in the ability of the safety-related control system to perform its function over a specified time period.
