5. Compatibility: Veo has partnered with 4 of the major robot manufacturers; FANUC, Yaskawa, ABB, and KUKA, making their product compatible with these industrial robots.

How it Works:

1. 3D Monitoring: FreeMove Sensors® are positioned on the periphery of the workcell to capture rich image data of the entire space.
2. Tracks & Calculates: It uses 3D data to identify the workcell including the robot, workpiece, human, and occlusions in order to track and calculate all possible future states.
3. Stop & Restart: If a human is closer to the robot than the Protective Separation Distance (PSD), FreeMove® signals the robot to stop. When the PSD violation is cleared, FreeMove® allows the robot to safely restart.
