Security primitive
Local safety and control for reconfigurable automation.
The Safety Layer packages scanners, interlocks, safety PLC logic, risk files, access rules, and audit history into every managed automation deployment.

what it is
Safety Layer is the security primitive for the physical world. It defines where people, robots, AMRs, tools, and machines can operate, what states are allowed, who can change recipes, and what evidence is captured when the system changes state.
how it works
01 Each cell or route has a risk file, zone map, permitted states, access rules, recovery process, and validation checklist.
02 Safety devices and control logic emit safe, stopped, muted, faulted, and reset states into the factory event graph.
03 GridOS links safety events to recipes, operators, support sessions, alarms, and maintenance actions.
04 When a line is reconfigured, the safety layer helps preserve the validation trail instead of losing it inside custom project files.
value
use cases
composition
This primitive becomes more powerful when it shares events with GridOS, observability, AI copilots, support workflows, and nearby physical modules. That is the core Mattergrid strategy: deploy one useful managed cell, then compound the value through shared data, playbooks, and repeatable interfaces.
