Interlocksysteme

InterlockSysteme is a technology company that develops safety interlock and access-control solutions for industrial machinery. Headquartered in Germany, the company designs, manufactures, and integrates devices used to prevent access to hazardous equipment and to enforce safe shutdown when guards are opened or interlocks are violated. Its products target manufacturers seeking compliance with machine safety standards and improved process reliability.

Core product lines include electromechanical door interlocks, safety switches, and retrofit interlocks for legacy installations. The company also offers electronic interlocks, programmable safety relays and safety PLCs, networked safety systems, and RFID- or smart-card based access control. In addition, it provides remote monitoring, diagnostics, and data-logging capabilities through cloud-enabled platforms to support maintenance and audit trails.

Applications span packaging lines, automotive assembly, food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, and robotics cells, where controlled access and fail-safe shutdowns are essential. InterlockSysteme emphasizes modularity, system integration, and compatibility with widely used safety standards and control architectures.

Quality and compliance are core priorities. The company adheres to international machine-safety standards such as ISO 14119 for interlocking, ISO 13849-1 and IEC 62061 for safety-related control systems, and ISO 9001 for quality management. Its documentation supports CE marking and, where relevant, hygienic design requirements for sensitive industries.

Since its founding in the late 1990s, InterlockSysteme has grown into a multinational supplier with a partner network across Europe, North America, and Asia, offering in-house engineering support, training, and after-sales service. See also: machine safety interlocks, ISO 14119, safety standards.
