A machine\u2019s life\u00adcycle extends from plan\u00adning and design to com\u00admis\u00adsioning and oper\u00ada\u00adtion, including retro\u00adfits, through to decom\u00admis\u00adsioning. Today, it is inex\u00adtri\u00adcably linked to com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive safety and IT pro\u00adtec\u00adtion oblig\u00ada\u00adtions. The key here is full, struc\u00adtured doc\u00adu\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion that\u2019s avail\u00adable at all times \u2013 both for legal cer\u00adtainty and for smooth, pro\u00adduc\u00adtive oper\u00ada\u00adtion.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Machines also go through a life\u00adcycle. Each phase places spe\u00adcific demands on Safety \u2013 and on those who must ensure it.

Ensuring that machinery runs smoothly is a respon\u00adsible task: pro\u00adduc\u00adtive processes must go hand in hand with the pro\u00adtec\u00adtion of human, machine and data. For mat\u00adters of Safety, Secu\u00adrity and Com\u00adpli\u00adance, Pilz has a dig\u00adital plat\u00adform to pro\u00advide sup\u00adport throughout the machine life\u00adcycle. <\/p>\n<\/span>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/header>\n\n\t<\/article>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In an inter\u00adview, Jaime Alonso, Vice Pres\u00adi\u00addent Global Ser\u00advices at Pilz, explains why OEMs and oper\u00ada\u00adtors should keep an eye on the entire life\u00adcycle of machine projects \u2013 and the key role played by employee training. <\/p>\n<\/span>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/header>\n\n\t<\/article>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>

One focus area for Pilz is to expand con\u00adven\u00adtional safety tech\u00adnology using inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive sensor tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies, to make the safe automa\u00adtion of the future more effi\u00adcient. An example is radar tech\u00adnology: radar sen\u00adsors from Pilz can already be used to mon\u00aditor zones safely.<\/p>\n<\/span>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/header>\n\n\t<\/article>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>

Reducing bar\u00adriers between human and machine would be a desir\u00adable goal. But in many appli\u00adca\u00adtions, the required safety must be guar\u00adan\u00adteed using mov\u00adable guards \u2013 while always focusing on pro\u00adduc\u00adtion effi\u00adciency.<\/p>\n<\/span>\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/header>\n\n\t<\/article>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>
