Inxpect's radar systems are certified for industrial safety and are designed to create 3D virtual safety zones around hazardous machinery, ensuring that equipment does not restart when operators are present. These SIL-rated radar sensors are resistant to environmental disturbances such as dust, smoke and moisture, making them ideal for challenging industrial applications where traditional optical sensors often fail.

Commenting on the partnership, Steven Hill, managing director of fortop UK, says: "The partnership marks a significant step forward in improving workplace safety and productivity in industrial environments, and we are thrilled to partner with Inxpect to deliver their state-of-the-art radar safety solutions to the UK market.

"At fortop UK, we are committed to providing customers with innovative technologies that enhance safety and operational efficiency. The addition of Inxpect's portfolio aligns perfectly with our mission to offer cutting-edge solutions that address the unique challenges of modern industrial environments."

Inxpect's radar systems achieve SIL2 and PLd certifications under the Machinery Directive, setting a benchmark for industrial safety. These systems detect even the smallest movements, such as human breathing, to prevent accidental machinery restarts.

Key features include four configurable detection fields, real-time motion analysis, and compatibility with both indoor and outdoor environments.

Commenting for Inxpect, sales manager Vincenzo Spigno adds: "Our collaboration with fortop UK is a natural extension of our shared commitment to advancing industrial safety standards. Fortop's expertise in automation and energy control makes them an ideal partner to bring our radar technology to a wider audience in the UK. Together, we aim to empower businesses with solutions that not only protect workers but also enhance productivity."

The partnership builds on an established relationship between Inxpect and fortop's operations in Europe and underscores both companies' dedication to innovation and safety excellence.
