A3's final mobile robot safety standard is written for the sites running the robots

A3's final mobile robot safety standard is written for the sites running the robots

ANSI/A3 R15.08-3-2026 is now available from A3. It completes the three-part R15.08 series for industrial mobile robot (IMR) safety. Part 3 is written for the sites that run the robots. It covers risk assessment, management of change, employee training and periodic reviews and inspections, so safety work continues in day-to-day operation after deployment.

  • 01The robot maker documents the environment a mobile robot was built for, and Part 3 makes the operating site responsible for managing changes to the environment the robot actually works in.
  • 02Part 1 was reaffirmed in 2026 with no technical changes, while Part 3 spells out what users must do to operate IMR applications safely.
  • 03Sites running both fixed robot cells and mobile robots can align one safety program, because R15.08 Part 3 was developed alongside R15.06 Part 3 for consistent guidance across both.

Matt Kelly says packaging automation pays back under two years

Matt Kelly says packaging automation pays back under two years

Matt Kelly and Joe Bradley argue brownfield warehouses often speed up picking while leaving packing manual. SupplyChainBrain reported in June 2026 that Kelly said service-model packaging projects can pay back in as little as one month and capital projects in under two years. Sparck's published 3-second boxing benchmark shows why operators still need a workflow-by-workflow comparison.

  • 01SupplyChainBrain reported in June 2026 that Kelly said some service-model packaging projects can pay back in as little as one month and capital projects in under two years.
  • 02Bradley says BoxLast can work from a license plate ID, a unique order identifier, so the machine can print and apply a shipping label without preloading weights and dimensions.
  • 03Sparck benchmarks, up to 20 stations and a box every 3 seconds, illustrate why operators must compare throughput, staffing and machine scope.
