Read the evidence in context.
Company-reported operational evidence
On 26 October, GXO and Agility reported more than 100,000 totes moved by Digit at Flowery Branch. Digit deployment at two more sites is expected in early 2027. This is company-reported operational evidence, not a published injury-reduction result.
GXO, partnership expansion, 26 October 2026. ↗Completed pilot · different future application
BMW describes Figure 02 as a completed pilot supporting production of more than 30,000 X3s over ten months. Its Figure 03 sequencing project involves a different robot and task. Earlier results cannot establish that new application’s safety.

What should safety leaders ask?
Our practical interpretation is to make five questions part of the acceptance discussion:
Use these prompts for your discussion. Checks stay on this page only and do not indicate safety acceptance.
CONSTRUCTION-FOCUSED GUIDANCE
NIOSH’s October guidance highlights changing work conditions and human-robot interaction. It is construction-focused guidance, not certification.
NIOSH, Safety in Construction Robotics, 7 October 2026. ↗Start the conversation.
Start with one proposed deployment. Bring workers, the integrator and a competent safety specialist together to identify missing evidence. Applicable requirements and validation methods depend on the system and jurisdiction.
Manage robotics alongside other onsite assets.
TASC Assets is available for asset and equipment management, with condition tracking, maintenance records and QR field access. For a site introducing robots, a practical use is to manage their asset records alongside those for other onsite equipment, so teams can review recorded condition and maintenance information as part of their operating routines.
TASC Assure supports evidence capture, while TASC Act supports assigning, tracking and closing corrective actions. Together with asset records, these workflows can support the human review behind the five questions above. They do not certify robots, validate protective functions or provide safety-rated controls; site-specific assessment and acceptance remain with the responsible people.
