Interlock Check
for Industrial Automation

USE CASE

Interlock Check

Interlock checks identify collisions and critical states in robotic systems that are not properly safeguarded due to incomplete signal and interlocking logic. In doing so, they reveal hidden dependencies as well as unpredictable system constellations.

Systematically verify interlocks

Automatically validate motion sequences between robots

Reduce risks before commissioning and during operation

Impact of Interlock Check

Visible

Hidden collisions and logical dependencies are systematically identified and made transparent.

Validated

Correct sequences of robot movements are verified and made traceable.

Detected Early

Critical logic errors and potential collisions are detected early, before they result in crashes during operation.

Transferable

The results provide a foundation for improved monitoring, targeted optimization and predictive applications.

How it works

Interlock Check for
collision-critical robot motion

Interlock Check analyzes robot movements and critical spatial constellations before they become real crashes. Potential conflicts are identified virtually so motion sequences can be secured earlier and faster.

Potential crash detected
01

Analyze

Motion constellations

Robot movements are checked virtually to identify unsafe overlaps, hidden dependencies and critical approach situations.

02

Detect

Missing interlocks

The system highlights movements that are not sufficiently protected by existing signal or locking logic.

03

Prevent

Real-world crashes

Critical cases can be corrected before commissioning, reducing manual testing effort and avoiding expensive damage.
