Wauseon Machine achieved a number of certifications and recertifications from Association for Advancing Automation (A3), Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The company says that it also prioritizes employing TUV certified engineers.
The A3 certification is recognized as a standard in the robotics industry and involves an on-site audit of processes, systems and personnel to ensure companies meet the highest standards or safety and quality in robotics automation. It is a technical benchmark for robotics safety acumen and overall business excellence.
To achieve this certification, Wauseon Machine's team underwent comprehensive on-site auditing, including practical assessments of key personnel. Notably, only 42 integrators have earned the distinction of being A3 certified robotic integrators.
Wauseon Machine says that the UL certification is crucial for larger customers who require assurance of properly wired, safe and high-quality electrical components within Wauseon Machine's assemblies. This certification, which adheres to the UL 508A standard, focuses on safety aspects related to shock, fire and failure prevention. By obtaining UL certification, Wauseon Machine demonstrates its commitment to producing control panels that meet the highest industry standards for safety and quality.
Wauseon Machine also emphasizes its commitment to quality through ISO recertification. ISO certification signifies that Wauseon Machine adheres to a documented process that includes standard practices, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, customer confidence, and continuous improvement. By maintaining ISO standards, Wauseon Machine ensures predictable outcomes and effective risk management for its customers. By adhering to these certifications, Wauseon Machine not only differentiates itself from competitors but also demonstrates its commitment to delivering high-quality, reliable, and safe solutions to its customers worldwide.
Wauseon Machine is also committed to employing TUV certified engineers and technicians, as a commitment to quality and safety. TUV certification, based on EU standards, ensures safety and quality assurance beyond standard safety panels, encompassing the entire machine. While TUV is a global standard, it allows Wauseon Machine to reach into EU and international companies and is strongly recognized in Europe and Asia within machinery, automotive, electronics and medical devices. With certified professionals in-house, Wauseon Machine can design intrinsically safer and superior systems while shortening lead times through internal certification management.
