Siemens has chosen Accessafe to provide security for a cosmetics packaging plant in the Karlsruhe industrial area.
Siemens has chosen Accessafe to provide security for a plant dedicated to the packaging of cosmetics in the Karlsruhe industrial estate, built on a site covering 37,000 square metres and capable of handling up to 12,000 packages per shift.
The extraordinary assembly speed of Meta1 patented systems made it possible to complete installation in the month of August thanks to the new kits to fix trhe system to special surfaces thus guaranteeing both aesthetic efficiency and the safety standards outlined in the European Machinery Directive 42/2006 and the C type standard EN 528/2008 “Safety requirements for storage and retrieval equipment”.
Access points were fitted with kits equipped with mechanical locks with different coded keys, fast evacuation systems, access control system and a universal passe-partout key for fire fighters.
The layout includes a manually operated, easy-to-open door, designed entirely to measure in accordance with the unique quality standards of Accessafe’s bespoke manufacturing.
For the area segregation we employed Penta guard fencing system, Meta1 patented fixing system with a welded DBS base-plate, access points were equipped with single and double leaf doors and special customized hand-operated guilottine doors.
This is our customer’s comment:
‘Accessafe has been a reliable supplier to Siemens for several years now, and our relationship has grown stronger over time. Our decision to use Accessafe safety grids for our automated handling and warehousing system is based on a number of reasons, which are also common to other safety systems we have integrated into our facilities.’
- Full definition, during our project development, of fencing guard installation layout (3D rendering, details of fitted components);
- Possibility to define tailor-made components;
- Easy assembly and installation;
- Appropriate integration with Siemens’s safety sensors for access control.
