Machine Safety and Cybersecurity: Cornerstones of Sustainable Manufacturing in the Green Transition
The green transition is not just about improving energy efficiency or reducing emissions. As industrial processes become increasingly digitalized and automated, machine safety takes centre stage—not only to protect workers but also to ensure sustainable development. Safe machines and processes minimize material waste, extend equipment lifespan, and prevent environmental harm. This is why machine safety and cybersecurity are critical pillars of the green transition. These themes were the focus of the first industry workshop organized under the Ohite project.
