Space
AIRSKIN® applications take up the least floor space due to the safety system being mounted directly onto the robot itself.
Compared to traditionally fenced applications, AIRSKIN® can save up to 90% of floor space for other applications and humans.

Up to 90% floor space saved
The future of production is open and flexible, which means re-arrangeable production layouts and no more fences.
AIRSKIN® guarantees applications that need the lowest amount of floor space. Therefore AIRSKIN® enables an open and agile shop floor that is ready for the interaction of humans, automation, robots, AGVs/AMRs and the products themselves.
AIRSKIN® provides automation for numerous industry applications, which have been done manually so far - and all that without the costly moving of heavy and bulky machines to make place for fenced cells.

AIRSKIN® can save up to 90% of floor space compared to fenced applications.
When it comes to initial costs, AIRSKIN® is virtually the same as old-school application fencing, in most cases even cheaper.
When the necessary movement of machines to create room for the fenced-up application is taken into consideration, AIRSKIN® is always the cheaper solution.
And with an AIRSKIN® application, the production never stops, even if maintenance workers or technicians have to enter the application. Therefore, AIRSKIN® is decreasing the need for costly product buffer storages, too.
Increase production density
With AIRSKIN® each automated task needs extremely less floor space compared to traditional fences. Therefore, significantly more tasks can be automated in the same space: +30…40%.
Automate wherever needed
No need to move bulky production machines to make room for a fence while keeping the necessary room for safety and worker movement. With AIRSKIN®, tasks can be automized right where they take place, even between already existing heavy equipment.
Open and flexible production
The production layout of the future is open and flexible for lean and agile manufacturing. Parceling up a production floor with fences contradicts the intended features. So an open space production floor is needed. By using AIRSKIN® the necessary space is directly achieved.
Frequently asked questions
-
The most extreme example is quality control in automotive. The application was placed directly into the line with the footprint of the robot base, so the final space used was 300x300mm instead of 3,000x3,000mm. In most applications the reduced space is around 60-80%, where “freed-up space” is defined by floor space that can be entered by workers without interfering with the application.
-
Yes, this is never a problem with AIRSKIN®. With AIRSKIN® your fenceless, open and flexible applications never stop producing while taking up the least space.
