Past Projects – Machine Safety

ARA Electrical Services was awarded the contract for the site wide upgrade of an emergency stop system for a glass manufacturing business in Dandenong South Melbourne

The new category 4 emergency stop system across 2 separate SICK safety PLC’s had to be completed within a tight shutdown window. The challenge of the installation was performing the installation works safely and timely during the normal operation of the business.

The completed work included:

  • 2 x sick safety PLC’s
  • 2 x sick safety remote I/O control panels
  • Site wide installation of ESTOPs and Safety Lanyards
  • Installation of dual safety contactors in remote control panels and switchboards across the site
  • Analysis of the existing safety system and its removal during stages of system changeover
  • Commissioning assistance of the new Estop System and the system integration into the existing site processes.
