Bega Group has grown to be one of Aus\u00adtralia\u2019s largest dairy com\u00adpa\u00adnies in recent years. The people at Bega Group \u201cbelieve that all inci\u00addents, injuries and work\u00adplace ill\u00adnesses can be pre\u00advented\u201d \u2013 and brought Pilz on board to sup\u00adport them. <\/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><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/span>More than just protection: A look behind the scenes of safe automation technology<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

At first glance, machinery safety often appears rigid, rule-bound and lacking in inno\u00adva\u00adtion. On closer inspec\u00adtion, how\u00adever, automa\u00adtion demands that safety tech\u00adnology keeps pace. For decades, Pilz has demon\u00adstrated that inno\u00adva\u00adtion and safety are not mutu\u00adally exclu\u00adsive, but open up new avenues together. <\/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>
