A-SAFE Inc. launched A-GUARD, what is said to be the first machine-guarding system to combine advanced wireless technology with 100% interior visibility, setting a new standard for real-time risk management and workplace safety.
“Just as we did with barriers, we are disrupting the market with A-GUARD - replacing outdated steel systems with cutting-edge polymer,” says Luke Smith, Co-CEO at A-SAFE. “This is the first commercially viable, completely transparent polymer machine guarding solution, offering superior durability, safety, and adaptability. It’s a game-changer for facilities looking for both protection and visibility without compromise.”
Key takeaways:
- A-GUARD’s clear polymer panels provide unobstructed sightlines for operators while ensuring comprehensive protection against potential hazards.
- A-GUARD adapts on-site to fit your facility’s needs, allowing instant modifications without complex reinstallation. With real-time monitoring, it tracks panel removal and any impact, helping safety managers spot access patterns and optimize maintenance schedules.
- The system's gapless design addresses emerging industry standards for machine guarding, particularly regarding finger protection and projectile prevention. With real-time risk visibility, instant breach alerts, and full access tracking, A-GUARD ensures facilities meet the highest safety standards while proactively preventing hazards.
“Traditional machine guarding is rigid and time-consuming to modify, but A-GUARD transforms that with modular panels that allow easy, bespoke cutting on-site,” Smith adds. “This means businesses can configure their safety setups to fit changing operational needs without delays or expensive reworks. Combined with its lightweight structure and rapid installation process, A-GUARD is setting a new benchmark for efficiency and innovation.”
