Abstract
The fourth industrial revolution brought a concept of interchangeability in manufacturing. Thanks to the diversity of sensors applied in the production lines, manipulators may perform their tasks at various workstations. Their relocation may be solved with the application of automated mobile robots. However, this generates a problem of preventing workers in the factories from potential harm caused by machines. Furthermore, traditional safety systems are not effective, as they restrict too much area form human access. Hence, a flexible method of creating safety system based on laser scanners is considered. The following paper is based on a real case study. Even though a used setup is dedicated to training in automotive, the results of simulations and analysis are scalable and applicable to the factories of the future. The paper compares traditional and non-conventional approaches towards creating safety systems, presents capabilities of the ones based on laser scanners and assesses possibilities of their practical application in different sectors of industry.
