PHILADELPHIA, PA, Jan. 26, 2026 — FORT Robotics, a leader in safe control for robots and mobile machines, announced the launch of the Wireless E-Stop Pro. The safety-certified wearable device is designed to prevent accidents and maximize uptime across modern machine worksites worldwide.
As industries adopt more mobile and autonomous machines across their operations, legacy safety solutions such as fixed emergency stop buttons are proving to be less effective. The Wireless E-Stop Pro puts fail-safe control directly in the operator's hand by allowing users to send a certified stop command to a machine from up to 200m away, ensuring that safety moves at the speed of the modern jobsite.
“Safety shouldn’t be a restraint on productivity; it should be the catalyst for it,” said Amod Damle, head of Product at FORT, bringing deep industry expertise from Fetch Robotics and Cisco. Damle explains, “With the Wireless E-Stop Pro, we’ve eliminated the compromise between risk and throughput. Whether it’s worn as a wearable or configured for a unique environment, this is about providing people with absolute peace of mind. We are redefining the relationship between human and machine, giving operators the green light to move at full speed and the power to dominate their workflows with total flexibility.”
Next-generation safety for challenging environments
The Wireless E-Stop Pro evolves FORT’s industry-standard technology to meet the demands of global distribution and modern worksites:
- Built for dense radio environments: Featuring advanced Long-Range Bluetooth communications, the Pro model is engineered to maintain a rock-solid connection even in warehouses and plants crowded with competing radio signals. This allows users to operate multiple systems simultaneously with minimal risk of signal drops.Certified for Global
- Deployment: Globally compatible Bluetooth communication makes it easier for OEMs to deploy a single machine in multiple countries. The product also features regulatory certifications for use in the U.S., Canada, Europe, Japan and Australia.
- Safety integrity: The Pro model is 3rd-party certified to Safety Integrity Level (SIL) 3 per IEC 61508. This rigorous certification ensures high levels of validated safety and reliability for mission-critical operations. Reliable Control in Any Condition: Combines a 200m wireless range with a rugged IP65-rated enclosure for dependable performance in harsh environments. An integrated status display provides operators with instant, high-visibility feedback on system health and connectivity.
The Wireless E-Stop Pro is the latest addition to the FORT Pro Series, an ecosystem of control solutions designed to accelerate the safe deployment of smart machines. It communicates with FORT’s Endpoint Controller receiver and can be used in combination with the Safe Remote Control Pro, as well as the FORT Manager cloud application for device management and configuration.
