Overview of UL 4600 training
This course is for those working on autonomous control systems. Discussion topics include safety principles, tools, techniques and life cycle processes for building and evaluating the safety of fully autonomous vehicles. Throughout the course, participants will learn how to build a safety framework for autonomous products starting with autonomous vehicles (AVs), autonomous robotics, off-road and fleet vehicles, as well as other areas where AV safety is paramount.
This 4-day virtual training course highlights modern-day autonomous robotics, industrial automation, sensors and semi-automated technologies and how they can be developed for safety. Participants will learn how current safety standards provide a current path to compliance. Standards include:
- UL 3100, the Standard for Automated Mobile Platforms (AMPs)
- ISO 10218, the Standard for Robots and Robotic Devices – Safety Requirements for Industrial Robots
- UL 1740, the Standard for Robots and Robotic Equipment
- UL 4600, the Evaluation of Autonomous Products, will also be taught as a future safety framework for industrial robotics.
Key themes include autonomy safety and functional safety for electronic controls and how they apply to robotics in automated warehouse settings as society advances toward digital factories and Industry 4.0.
We are now offering private certification training for up to 10 people for $10,000 USD, including exam fees.
Take advantage now through the end of 2024! Contact us for more details.
