You can find them almost every\u00adwhere: \u201cclassic machines\u201d in pro\u00adduc\u00adtion halls. They have been working hard for many years now. Up-to-date \u00adautoma\u00adtion and safety tech\u00adnology can breathe new life into them. How\u00adever, a so-called retrofit of the \u00admachines gen\u00ader\u00adally leads to a number of \u00adques\u00adtions. But the focus is always: the ques\u00adtion of cost effec\u00adtive\u00adness. In the first step it is there\u00adfore impor\u00adtant to con\u00adsider what the retrofit should include: a simple exchange of old for new, or should the existing machine be expanded or the process opti\u00admised and adapted? How does Pilz sup\u00adport cus\u00adtomers when answering these ques\u00adtions? Back to the begin\u00adning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experts from Pilz thor\u00adoughly examine the \u201cclassic machine\u201d under con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ada\u00adtion in the first step and create a risk assess\u00adment: Where does the plant or machinery stray from the state of the art according to the cur\u00adrent stan\u00addards sit\u00adu\u00ada\u00adtion? Which safety-related gaps have to be filled? And how? For this pur\u00adpose, Pilz also makes basic sug\u00adges\u00adtions for achieving the nec\u00ades\u00adsary mechan\u00adical and safety-related pro\u00adtec\u00adtion objec\u00adtives as part of a safety con\u00adcept.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If needed, our experts then create a detailed safety design for the imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion \u2013 a con\u00adsulting com\u00adpo\u00adnent that smoothly tran\u00adsi\u00adtions into the imple\u00admen\u00adta\u00adtion and includes hard\u00adware as well as soft\u00adware, where pos\u00adsible. Which com\u00adpo\u00adnents should be exchanged in order to pre\u00adserve avail\u00adability? Which mov\u00adable guards or pro\u00adtec\u00adtive \u00addevices should be used to guar\u00adantee safety of the machine and increase avail\u00adability and \u00adpro\u00adduc\u00adtivity? Which elec\u00adtronic access sys\u00adtems could improve the pro\u00adtec\u00adtion against manip\u00adu\u00adla\u00adtion? Con\u00adsulting is adapted to the indi\u00advidual needs of the cus\u00adtomer here \u2013 from smaller to larger retrofit scopes \u2013 and is ini\u00adtially fully product-\u00adneu\u00adtral. The cus\u00adtomer can then decide how to pro\u00adceed with the retrofit, and with whom. If so desired, Pilz will pro\u00advide the entire package from one source: Con\u00adsul\u00adtancy ser\u00advice including \u00adengi\u00adneering and inte\u00adgra\u00adtion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Before com\u00adpleting a suc\u00adcessful con\u00adver\u00adsion, the ver\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion and val\u00adi\u00adda\u00adtion of the tar\u00adgeted safety fea\u00adtures must still be per\u00adformed. After all it\u2019s not just impor\u00adtant what one does, but also that each step is checked for accu\u00adracy. An approach that is a matter of course at Pilz. Pro\u00adto\u00adcols required by stan\u00addards trans\u00adpar\u00adently verify every step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And finally, the employees should also be able to easily and straight\u00adfor\u00adwardly deal with the \u00admachine upgrade in their daily work. The experts offer sem\u00adi\u00adnars for safety-related soft\u00adware, hard\u00adware and design as well as machinery safety and CE sem\u00adi\u00adnars in the training cen\u00adtres at Pilz loca\u00adtions or on-site with the cus\u00adtomer. On the whole, an all-round safe and sus\u00adtain\u00adable retrofit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
