As someone who designs automation cells and tooling for robots and machine tools easily big enough to kill you, wireless pendants would freak me out for safety reasons. I spec "wireless" sensors for tooling pretty regularly. That said, I only trust them for non-safety related tasks. Wireless is great for tasks with harmless failure modes. Pinning my arm to a machine table or braining me with a 200 pound end of arm tool, not so much. :) Just food for thought.
