 Knowledge shared is knowledge multiplied

Par­tic­u­larly in times of change, it is impor­tant to learn from each other. Because knowl­edge is the key to safe automa­tion. Whether you’re a machine oper­ator, global player or safety spe­cialist – Pilz shares its knowl­edge with anyone who wants to make the world safer. Our dig­ital cus­tomer mag­a­zine pro­vides some insights.

Hydrogen: Clean, Safe and Secure

If we are to exploit the poten­tial of hydrogen as the energy car­rier of the future, it must be com­pletely safe to handle. Proven safety prin­ci­ples from the automa­tion industry can achieve this.

Partnership for sustainable access management

In close coop­er­a­tion with its cus­tomers, Pilz looks for joint solu­tions for sus­tain­able digi­ti­sa­tion in mechan­ical engi­neering. Pilz has worked with machine tool man­u­fac­turer Starrag to develop its oper­ating mode selec­tion system into an entry and access per­mis­sion man­age­ment system for Safety & Secu­rity.

Out of the control cabinet!

It’s not just time that’s money – space is too. That’s what makes decen­tralised automa­tion solu­tions so attrac­tive. With the right remote I/O solu­tion, users can not only save space, but also reduce their wiring work. Plus they enjoy greater flex­i­bility when imple­menting decen­tralised con­trol archi­tec­tures – even in rugged indus­trial envi­ron­ments.

Faster digitisation

Digi­ti­sa­tion of rail trans­port? Of course! But how? At the Inno­Trans 2024 trade fair, Pilz will be pre­senting its new safe, mod­ular railway con­trol system for the dig­ital railway. With PSS­rail, digi­ti­sa­tion projects in the future can be imple­mented quickly and eco­nom­i­cally.

Step-by-step retrofit

What can you do when essen­tial machine com­po­nents are no longer avail­able or when the machine in gen­eral needs to be mod­ernised in order to main­tain its pro­duc­tivity and thus increase the machine’s ser­vice life? Pur­chasing a new machine is often very costly and time-con­­suming. That’s why, in most cases, a retrofit is the better and more sus­tain­able alter­na­tive.

Safety and Security for US packagers

The pack­aging industry is an impor­tant focus market for Pilz in the USA. Matthias Ehrhardt, CEO of Pilz Automa­tion Safety L.P., based in Michigan, explains how Pilz sup­ports this sector in the USA, and the approach it takes.

“Unique in scope and quality”

Whether it’s a medium-sized machine builder or a global player – Pilz sup­ports com­pa­nies world­wide with a com­pre­hen­sive ser­vices port­folio. In an inter­view, Jürgen Bukowski, Global Ser­vices Con­sulting Senior Man­ager, Pilz GmbH & Co. KG, presents the com­po­nent “Con­sulting”.

Trendsetter for Safety und Security – 25 years an ambassador for safety

The oil, auto­mo­tive and mechan­ical engi­neering indus­tries play a key role in Mex­i­co’s economy. Around a third of the coun­try’s total work­force is employed in the indus­trial sector. That makes Mexico the second largest economy in Latin America, directly behind Brazil.
