Safety optoelectronic devices are mandatory for the protection of operators, and people in general, in potentially hazardous areas, plants and machinery, in a wide range of industries and applications from manufacturing to logistics.

Manufacturing industry applications include safeguarding of automotive and electronics plants, especially robotic cells; food & beverage, pharmaceutical, chemical goods processing and packaging machines; up to almost any machinery used in woodworking, metalworking, textile, hydraulic presses, ceramic, glass, stones, paper, etc.

Logistics applications are diffused in automated material handling, conveyors, storage and retrieval systems, automated warehouses, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).

Safety optoelectronic devices are Electro-Sensitive Protecting Equipment (ESPE) according to EN61496-1 International Standard, as:

• Active Optoelectronic Protective Device (AOPD), according to EN 61496-2, also known as Safety Light Barriers, Curtains, Grids, and Light Beams or Photocells and Control Units.
• Active Optoelectronic Protective Device Responsive to Diffuse Reflection (AOPDDR), according to EN 61496-3, better known as Safety Laser Scanners.
