Machinery Directive: Tecno Più’s Integrated Solution for Industrial Machinery Compliance
The Challenge of Industrial Safety in Light of the Machinery Directive
In today’s industrial landscape, safety is no longer just a regulatory obligation but a strategic factor that significantly influences business competitiveness. Manufacturing companies face a complex scenario marked by constantly evolving regulations and increasingly sophisticated technological demands.
The Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and numerous related standards—such as UNI EN ISO 12100:2010 for risk assessment and EN ISO 14120:2015 for fixed and movable guards—impose strict requirements that demand specialized expertise to be properly interpreted and implemented.
For companies operating with outdated or pre-CE machinery, the situation is particularly critical: these systems, while still functionally valid, often do not meet the essential safety requirements defined by current legislation. At the same time, production environments that are integrating new technologies—such as collaborative robots (cobots) or complex automated systems—require solutions that balance innovation with operator protection.
The Consequences of a Fragmented Approach to Safety
Tackling these challenges with a fragmented approach—relying on multiple providers for each phase of the safety compliance process—introduces significant risks and inefficiencies that can seriously compromise business operations.
The fragmentation of required expertise leads to inefficiencies and potential inconsistencies. When a company has to coordinate regulatory consultants, component suppliers, installers, and certification experts, delays, overlaps, and communication breakdowns are frequent. This scenario of dispersed responsibilities often results in a blame game among providers, leaving the client company exposed and uncertain.
Unplanned or prolonged machine downtimes are a massive direct cost. Every day of inactivity means lost production, delayed deliveries, and potential customer loss. Statistically, a fragmented implementation can increase downtime by up to 60% compared to an integrated approach.
Partial or undetected non-compliance with the Machinery Directive exposes companies to significant legal risks. Penalties for safety regulation violations can be substantial, not to mention the civil and criminal liabilities in the event of an accident.
Managing multiple vendors also adds administrative and organizational burden—often underestimated—that significantly affects both the overall efficiency and the final cost of the project.
In today’s landscape, marked by unprecedented competitive pressure, no company can afford the costs and risks of a fragmented approach to industrial safety..
