Hi, I’m having trouble understanding the differences between the various versions of SafeMove (Standard, Standard+, Premium, Premium+, and Pro).
From what I’ve seen, they seem to differ in terms of zones, tools, and safety supervision features but I’m not sure when each version applies in real projects.
Could someone clarify this? Thanks
