AutoStore ensures product safety through testing and collaboration with RISE
AutoStore, a Norwegian company that has developed an automated cube storage system, has been collaborating with RISE since 2010 to test and ensure the safety of its products. Since there are no internationally established standards for this type of system, the company has relied on RISE expertise for testing in areas such as fire safety, EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and machinery safety.
Joakim Franzon, Director of Product Compliance at AutoStore, explains: "For our products, there is no such standard. A technical committee has been formed to look at our category of storage systems, but it will take time before that work is completed."
RISE has played a key role in helping AutoStore ensure the quality and safety of its products. Monika Fuller, Head of the Vehicle and Automation Department at RISE, says: "When AutoStore first contacted us, it was for fire safety testing. Then they learned that we could also help with EMC and electrical safety."
AutoStore uses these tests as a way to enter international markets. Joakim Franzon says: "For us, the tests are a way to be able to sell in different countries. We simply cannot enter certain markets without being able to present a certificate that our products have been tested by an independent third party."
He also emphasizes the importance of working with external experts: "I have very skilled people on my team, but we need people who have deep expertise in each area. This is where RISE comes in and helps us ensure that we meet all the requirements."
