3D Technical Solution: When Machine Safety Becomes Visible

Bringing machines and equipment into compliance with NR-12 is a constant challenge for industrial managers. In many cases, the greatest obstacle is not the implementation itself, but the lack of clarity regarding how the machine will look and operate after safety measures have been installed.

To address this critical challenge, UniSafety developed the 3D Technical Solution, a document that provides a detailed preview of how equipment will operate after the compliance process is completed.

What Is the 3D Technical Solution?

The concept goes beyond a conventional project. It consists of a 2D and 3D modeling solution that allows stakeholders to visualize:

• Fixed and movable guards installed on the equipment

• The operating logic of the new safety system, including reset functions, lockout features, and safe start-up procedures

• The positioning of sensors, emergency cables, safety relays, and operator interfaces

• The direct impact on operation and maintenance routines

With this resource, both managers and production-line operators gain a clear understanding of how the machine will function after the implementation of safety measures.

Why Does It Make a Difference in NR-12 Compliance?

According to Guilherme Neto, engineer, Managing Partner at UniSafety, PhD candidate in Safety Sciences, and member of both ABNT and the ISO 12100 committee responsible for the development and review of machine safety standards: "We always seek the best solution based on national and international technical standards, delivering the best cost-benefit ratio for the client while ensuring that the safety system does not negatively impact productivity."

In other words, compliance alone is not enough. The goal is to deliver functional safety without compromising industrial performance.

A Strategic Advantage for Industry

Among the key benefits of the 3D Technical Solution are:

✔ Greater clarity for decision-making before implementation✔ Increased engagement from operations and maintenance teams✔ Reduced rework and interpretation errors✔ Documentation ready for audits and validation processes

Machine Safety That Drives Productivity

At UniSafety, we believe that safety should be visible, understandable, and verifiable. Through the 3D Technical Solution, we transform compliance projects into a transparent, technical, and efficient process.
