FARobot Receives Taiwan's First EN ISO 3691-4 Certification for AMRs by TÜV Rheinland
July 28, 2023 | FoxconnEstimated reading time: 1 minute
FARobot, the Taipei-based industrial robotics solutions company, announced that its SMR® autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), the 250kg and 1000kg payload SMR250® and SMR1000®, have received Taiwan's first EN ISO 3691-4:2020 certification from TÜV Rheinland. The certified safety performance, rigidly validated, empowers factories to proactively embrace human-robot collaboration amid the automation trend. The SMR®’s safety control systems are certified to meet required performance levels (PLr) for risk minimization and ensure timely measures to protect the safety of personnel, equipment, and materials from unexpected and uncontrolled situations that may arise in chaotic environments with fragmented processes and unregulated personnel movement. The SMR® series has also obtained the SEMI S17-0319 certification from TÜV Rheinland, ensuring safe operating conditions for automated material handling in the semiconductor and FPD industries.
Intelligent automation is an inevitable trend. Safe collaboration is of utmost importance in industrial automation, particularly for AMRs navigating complex dynamic environments, We are delighted to collaborate with FARobot and issue the first EN ISO 3691-4 certification for AMRs. This certification is an assurance that their automated material handling equipment used in smart manufacturing processes complies with international safety and reliability standards, and further enhances Taiwan robotics brand’s competence in the global supply chain.?Jennifer Wang, Managing Director of TÜV Rheinland Taiwan.
As a representative of the Made-In-Taiwan robotics brand, we are thrilled to lead the way in obtaining one of the most renowned safety certifications issued by TÜV Rheinland and contributing to a secure global smart manufacturing supply chain. We are grateful for the unwavering support from our parent companies, Hon Hai Technology Group (Foxconn) and ADLINK Technology Inc., which paved our journey of research, development, manufacturing, and market validation, enabling FARobot to achieve commercialization and key certifications in just three years. Moving forward, we will continue to enhance human-robot collaboration safety through integrating innovative software and hardware.?Ryan Chen, General Manager of FARobot.
The FARobot® SMR® series boasts patented hardware designs prioritizing robustness and safety, leveraging Foxconn’s extensive industrial manufacturing expertise. The SMR® is managed by the decentralized SWARM CORE® platform, powered by ADLINK's DDS-based robot-to-robot communication technology, facilitating seamless fleet collaboration across different brands and equipment. Obtaining the EN ISO 3691-4:2020 certification is a milestone in affirming FARobot’s readiness to advance global-scale procurement and tender projects with its comprehensive capabilities in regulatory compliance, technological innovation, and proven experience.
