Both future tech\u00adnolo\u00adgies, hydrogen and bat\u00adtery, require careful han\u00addling and strict safety mea\u00adsures to min\u00adimise risks. Toxic and flam\u00admable gases as well as vapours can be released during bat\u00adtery pro\u00adduc\u00adtion, for example, endan\u00adgering the health of workers as well as the envi\u00adron\u00adment. Sol\u00advent vapours and elec\u00adtrolyte leaks also pose a sig\u00adnif\u00adi\u00adcant fire and explo\u00adsion risk. Flam\u00admable sol\u00advent vapours can be gen\u00ader\u00adated, par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlarly during the elec\u00adtrodes\u2019 drying process. Pilz con\u00adtrol sys\u00adtems reli\u00adably detect gas leaks through the eval\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion of gas detec\u00adtors. They safely mon\u00aditor tem\u00adper\u00ada\u00adture, pres\u00adsure, fill level, voltage and cur\u00adrent. And in an emer\u00adgency the sys\u00adtems ini\u00adtiate an emer\u00adgency stop. They can detect faults within mil\u00adlisec\u00adonds and quickly ini\u00adtiate pre-defined safety mea\u00adsures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a safe, environmentally-friendly future<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Pilz is actively com\u00admitted to a sus\u00adtain\u00adable future by devel\u00adoping inno\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtive, envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtally-friendly solu\u00adtions for our cus\u00adtomers and pro\u00adviding them with indi\u00advidual advice and sup\u00adport. The automa\u00adtion com\u00adpa\u00adny\u2019s goal is to set a good example and lower its own reducible CO\u2082 emis\u00adsions to zero by 2035. To achieve this goal, Pilz relies on sus\u00adtain\u00adable processes for the devel\u00adop\u00adment, pro\u00adduc\u00adtion, ship\u00adping and recy\u00adcling of its prod\u00aducts. Pilz prod\u00aducts stand for energy effi\u00adciency and quality, where each suc\u00adces\u00adsive gen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion is more energy effi\u00adcient than the last. This also applies to the pro\u00adduc\u00adtion facil\u00adi\u00adties, such as the new SMD lines. Pilz devel\u00adop\u00adment takes into account the \u201cDesign for Envi\u00adron\u00adment\u201d con\u00adcept where repairability and the selec\u00adtion of mate\u00adrials and com\u00adpo\u00adnents are con\u00adcerned. In coop\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion with the Uni\u00adver\u00adsity of Applied Sci\u00adences in Linz, the automa\u00adtion com\u00adpany is working inten\u00adsively on the switch to more envi\u00adron\u00admen\u00adtally friendly plas\u00adtics. Pro\u00adduc\u00adtion sites in Ger\u00admany, Switzer\u00adland and China help to reduce CO\u2082 emis\u00adsions when deliv\u00adering to cus\u00adtomers world\u00adwide. For trans\u00adport, Pilz relies on reusable pack\u00adaging mate\u00adrials and sus\u00adtain\u00adable trans\u00adport options, such as bat\u00adtery or hydrogen-pow\u00adered fleets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pilz also helps its cus\u00adtomers create more sus\u00adtain\u00adable machinery with a large share of retrofit projects, because defec\u00adtive devices can be fully repaired or indi\u00advidual com\u00adpo\u00adnents replaced. Pilz estab\u00adlished its Repair Centre as early as 2002, where defec\u00adtive Pilz devices can be prop\u00aderly repaired and then reused at the same quality. Around 6 000 devices per year are restored to their full func\u00adtion\u00adality there. At the end of the product life\u00adcycle, the Pilz sub\u00adsidiaries take care of dis\u00adposal. As a family busi\u00adness, inter\u00adgen\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtional action is one of Pilz\u2019s values and the com\u00adpany acts accord\u00adingly. \u201cBecause we want to pre\u00adserve our world for our chil\u00addren, and our children\u2019s chil\u00addren. That\u2019s our duty\u201d, says Susanne Kun\u00adschert, Man\u00adaging Partner of Pilz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
