FORT Robotics Launches Wireless E-Stop Pro for Safer Autonomous Machines
FORT Robotics, a pioneer in robot and mobile machine safety systems, has unveiled the Wireless E-Stop Pro, a safety-certified wearable built to reduce incidents and improve operational uptime at advanced worksites around the globe.
As mobile and autonomous machines become more common across industrial environments, traditional safety measures—such as fixed emergency stop buttons—are no longer sufficient. The Wireless E-Stop Pro places reliable, fail-safe control directly with the operator, enabling a certified emergency stop to be issued from distances of up to 200 meters. This ensures safety measures can keep pace with the dynamic nature of modern job sites.
“Safety should enable productivity, not slow it down,” said Amod Damle, Head of Product at FORT, who brings extensive experience from Fetch Robotics and Cisco. “The Wireless E-Stop Pro removes the trade-off between safety and efficiency. Whether worn on the body or customized for specialized environments, it delivers confidence and flexibility. We’re reshaping how people interact with machines—empowering operators to work faster, smarter, and with complete control.”
Advanced Safety Built for Demanding Environments
The Wireless E-Stop Pro builds on FORT’s proven safety platform, addressing the challenges of today’s globally distributed and radio-dense industrial settings:
