A safety light curtain uses light beams and a receiver to create an invisible, controlled space. It is an electrically sensitive gadget. These are typically used to shield workers from dangerous moving equipment including presses, winders, and palletizers.

Manufacturing facilities can now operate around-the-clock thanks to the use of automated machinery and technology as a result of digital manufacturing. Components including distributed control systems (DCS), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), and supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) systems are used to operate and control automated machinery. The use of several contemporary technologies and highly automated manufacturing techniques that necessitate the installation of numerous sensors and components for effective operation define this idea of the industrial revolution. Applications for security component will rise together with the adoption of smart machines. An effective fail-safe mechanism is necessary since machines function automatically to safeguard the security of plant employees. Industries engaged in manufacturing run continuously and on a big scale without the need for human involvement. Therefore, equipment must have a mechanism to detect human presence and take preventive measures to avoid accidents in situations where human involvement is necessary. Safety light curtains have sensors built into them that form an invisible barrier of beams; if this barrier is breached, the sensors send signals to the machine that cause it to immediately shut down. As a result, the market for safety light curtains is expanding due to the advent of digital manufacturing.

However, safety light curtains are presence-sensing systems that turn off the machine when they detect human interaction inside a predetermined safe zone. When a safety light curtain's boundary is crossed, it alerts the machine to instantly halt operation. Safety light curtains cannot provide protection from secondary risks such as flying debris, sparks, splashes, smoke, or flashes typically associated with robotic welding, even though the machine stops instantly. Burns to the skin, respiratory dangers, and temporary or permanent blindness are just a few of the terrible effects of flying debris. In addition to flying debris, secondary dangers like sparks, splashes, smoke, or flashes also put people's health at risk. The safety light curtain industry's expansion is anticipated to be constrained by its inability to safeguard employees from such risks.

The market for safety light curtains suffered as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. Governments all throughout the world enacted lockdowns and travel bans to curb the pandemic's spread. The numerous factories that make safety light curtains were temporarily shut down as a result of these restrictions. The production of the safety light curtains uses a broad supplier chain. There are several component producers, assemblers, and distributors scattered throughout the world. The supply chain was subject to a variety of outside interruptions. The COVID-19 epidemic has interfered with supply chains, delaying production and delivery for all types of produced commodities. The production of safety light curtains has been impacted despite the increase in demand.
