FORT Robotics launched the Wireless E-Stop Pro, a safety-certified wearable device designed to prevent accidents and maximize uptime across modern machine worksites worldwide.
“Safety shouldn’t be a restraint on productivity; it should be the catalyst for it,” says Amod Damle, head of product at FORT. “With the Wireless E-Stop Pro, we’ve eliminated the compromise between risk and throughput. Whether it’s worn as a wearable or configured for a unique environment, this is about providing people with absolute peace of mind. We are redefining the relationship between human and machine, giving operators the green light to move at full speed and the power to dominate their workflows with total flexibility.”
Key takeaways:
- The Wireless E-Stop Pro puts fail-safe control directly in the operator's hand by allowing users to send a certified stop command to a machine from up to 200m away, ensuring that safety moves at the speed of the modern jobsite.
- Featuring advanced Long-Range Bluetooth communications, the Pro model is engineered to maintain a rock-solid connection even in warehouses and plants crowded with competing radio signals. This allows users to operate multiple systems simultaneously with minimal risk of signal drops.
- Globally compatible Bluetooth communication makes it easier for OEMs to deploy a single machine in multiple countries. The product also features regulatory certifications for use in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
- The Pro model is third-party certified to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 per IEC 61508. This rigorous certification ensures high levels of validated safety and reliability for mission-critical operations.
- Combines a 200m wireless range with a rugged IP65-rated enclosure for dependable performance in harsh environments. An integrated status display provides operators with instant, high-visibility feedback on system health and connectivity.
