Machine Safety
DPAC Automation provides machine safety solutions for industrial machinery, manufacturing equipment and automated systems across Australia.
Machine Safety Systems
We help businesses identify and reduce machinery risks through practical safety system design, control system integration and safety upgrades.
​
From individual machines through to complex automated production cells, we can develop machine safety systems around the equipment, operating environment and required level of risk reduction.
Machine safety is an important part of any industrial automation project. Safety systems need to work reliably with the machinery while allowing operators to access, operate and maintain equipment safely.

Machinery Risk Assessment
Effective machine safety starts with understanding the hazards associated with the equipment and how the machine is actually used.
DPAC Automation can assist with machinery risk assessment and safety system development
Safety PLC & Safety Control Systems
For more complex machinery and automated systems, a safety PLC can provide a flexible way to monitor safety devices and control safety-related functions.
The safety control system can initiate appropriate safety functions, such as removing hazardous motion, stopping machinery or preventing a machine from restarting until the required conditions are met.
Machine Safety in Australia
Machine safety requirements can vary depending on the machinery, application, workplace and risk profile.
​
DPAC Automation can assist with the engineering and integration of machine safety systems with consideration of relevant Australian requirements and applicable machinery safety standards.
​
Safety systems should be designed around the specific machine and its hazards rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
​
Where required, DPAC Automation can work with customers, engineers and other relevant parties to support the safety design and implementation process according to AS4024.
