mrlnewsEditorialPractical tips and new discoveries‘Safety doesn’t sell,’ said Lido Anthony „Lee“ Iacocca,the former head of the American car manufacturer Ford,at the beginning of the 1970s. Rather than spend a fewdollars on additional safety components, he preferredthe costs that come with compensation and litigation. Itwas an unsustainable position, and just a few years later,realising that he had to change course, began promotingthe company’s new models complete with airbag safetywith the self-mocking slogan, ‘Who said that you can’tteach an old dog new tricks?’.Nowadays, the safety of employees and customersis always front and centre. But there’s more to it, andfunctional machine safety, productivity and efficiencymust go hand in hand together. In this edition of MRLNews, we will look at a concrete example of how smartsafety solutions can bring cost benefits and help toenhance operational efficiency in the form of a modularsafety solution for food processing machines thattec.nicum designed for Weber Maschinenbau GmbH.Similarly, we have a specific user example to demonstratehow overtravel time measurements can not only be timeoptimisedas a service provided by tec.nicum, but can beused to help improve maintenance management.In addition, we will also take a look at a white paper fromZVEI, which considers a new approach to implementingfault-tolerant safety functions, without neglecting personalsafety.We also have an article containing practical tips thatshould be borne in mind when compiling instructions foruse.And finally, we preview our series of events of 2020stec.nicum on tour until at the end of the year, but withthe following caveat: in spring, we were forced to cancela number of dates due to the coronavirus pandemic andat the time of publication, reliable predictions of the futurecourse of the emergency were not available.We hope that you enjoy reading the latest edition ofMRL News!Best regardsThe editorial teamPage 2Edition 2020.01
