International Robot Safety Conference

IRSC-color

Critical Systems Analysis (CSA) will attend the International Robot Safety Conference (IRSC) — the leading annual event focused on advancing safety in robotics and automation — taking place November 3–5, 2026, at Huntington Place in Detroit, Michigan. The conference, hosted by the Association for Advancing Automation (A3), brings together engineers, system integrators, safety professionals, and industry decision‑makers to examine key issues in robot safety and gain an in‑depth understanding of current safety standards, risk assessment practices, and emerging regulatory frameworks.

For more than 35 years, IRSC has served as a critical knowledge hub for organizations deploying industrial robots, offering attendees the latest insights on safe system design, automation risk management, and best practices as robotic applications grow more advanced, capable, and widespread across industries. This year’s conference will continue that legacy, providing foundational and forward‑looking content on ANSI/A3 R15.06‑2025 updates, robot cell integration guidelines, and evolving expectations around personnel safety.

We’re excited to explore the latest thinking in industrial robot safety, participate in technical sessions, and connect with experts who are shaping safe automation across manufacturing, logistics, and emerging applications. IRSC offers a unique opportunity to deepen our understanding of risk assessment methodologies, strengthen our safety‑engineering capabilities, and engage with peers who are driving safer, more reliable automation systems across the industry. Although CSA is not exhibiting this year, we look forward to learning, exchanging ideas, and continuing to support organizations in building safer automated environments. If you plan to attend, we’d be glad to connect and discuss system‑ and safety‑focused automation insights.
