Improving Machine and Hand Safety

Fortunately, there are several ways you can improve machine safety, reduce mechanical hazards and prevent workplace-related hand injuries. Another way to avoid hand injuries is to use personal safety equipment such as gloves and different types of machine guarding. A third option is to incorporate hand safety functions into the machinery by design — hand tracking and artificial intelligence are two cutting-edge, and proven technologies that can help reduce hand injuries at home and at work. Hand tracking, artificial intelligence, and machine learning technologies, combined with standard sensors can significantly reduce hand injuries in the industrial sector. New technologies can complement traditional machine guarding and improve machine safety.
