Machine safety is essential — but it shouldn’t be a bottleneck.

Safety integrated with Siemens' SIMATIC — Safety Integrated with Siemens' SIMATIC - a powerful, seamless approach to machine safety.

For many machine builders, system integrators, and OEMs, the safety side of automation can feel like a maze of outdated designs, complicated standards, and time-consuming documentation. Too often, safety concepts get carried over from legacy machines simply because it's “what we’ve always done.” But what if those inherited concepts are actually limiting productivity — or worse — putting your compliance at risk?

At elliTek, we believe safety should enable performance, not restrict it.

That’s why we’re excited about Siemens’ SIMATIC Safety Integrated — a powerful, seamless approach to machine safety that’s designed to work with your machine design, not against it. By integrating safety directly into your automation system, you’ll reduce hardware needs, simplify engineering, and free up valuable time and resources.

🚦 Software-less Machine Safety – For Simplicity

Not every machine needs a complex safety system. With Siemens' SIRIUS 3SK1 safety relays, you can implement basic safety functions — without programming or specialized knowledge. Configuration is as easy as flipping a DIP switch, and it’s fully supported with ready-made documentation and validation tools. This is ideal for non-complex environments where time and budget are critical.

🔄 Flexible Machine Safety – For Scalability

Siemens Safety Integrated: Maximum Safety and Flexibility.

Production demands evolve — and your safety systems should too. Siemens’ scalable portfolio (SIRIUS, SIMATIC, SINAMICS) offers modular safety solutions that grow with you. Whether you need drive-based safety, controller-level functionality, or something in between, Siemens has the tools to tailor protection to your exact needs using TIA Portal, SIRIUS SIM, and SIMIT simulation tools.

🧠 Smarter Workflow – For Confidence

No more piecing together disconnected tools. Siemens offers a linked digital workflow that takes you from risk assessment all the way through to safety validation — with engineering support built in. This means less guesswork, faster documentation, and peace of mind knowing your machine meets the latest safety standards.
