For Pilz, the same prin\u00adci\u00adples apply around the world: the cre\u00adation of safe working envi\u00adron\u00adments for everyone who uses and main\u00adtains machines. Leg\u00adis\u00adla\u00adtion, stan\u00addards and direc\u00adtives alone are not enough; engi\u00adneers need the nec\u00ades\u00adsary com\u00adpe\u00adtence and a deeper under\u00adstanding in order to imple\u00adment machinery safety in com\u00adpli\u00adance with direc\u00adtives and stan\u00addards. The com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adca\u00adtion of knowl\u00adedge is essen\u00adtial here. For Pilz, Safety is more than just a product: For a long time now, the com\u00adpany has made its years of exper\u00adtise avail\u00adable as a com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive range of training courses. Every year the Pilz Academy trains around 15,000 people in 50 coun\u00adtries with 120 trainers!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adally uni\u00adform and inde\u00adpen\u00addent qual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtions for machinery safety have only existed for ten years. In 2013 Pilz intro\u00adduced the CMSE or Cer\u00adti\u00adfied Machinery Safety Expert qual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion in four coun\u00adtries \u2013 the world\u2019s first cer\u00adti\u00adfied inter\u00adna\u00adtional pro\u00adfes\u00adsional devel\u00adop\u00adment for machinery safety. The four-day course gives in five mod\u00adules an overall view of the sub\u00adject of machinery safety and con\u00adveys com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsive knowl\u00adedge on and about the machine life\u00adcycle. T\u00dcV NORD was our partner from the very begin\u00adning: The final T\u00dcV NORD cer\u00adtifi\u00adcate that is issued after passing the test is valid inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adally as the CMSE mod\u00adules are stan\u00addard\u00adised world\u00adwide and are of a uni\u00adform level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CMSE is cur\u00adrently offered in over 30 coun\u00adtries in 15 lan\u00adguages. CMSE is not only used for per\u00adsonal qual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion. Inter\u00adna\u00adtion\u00adally oper\u00adating com\u00adpa\u00adnies also use the courses offered world\u00adwide for the uni\u00adform pro\u00adfes\u00adsional devel\u00adop\u00adment of their employees at var\u00adious loca\u00adtions. In other words, the qual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion sets the com\u00adpany stan\u00addard for com\u00adpe\u00adtence in regard to machinery safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CMSE has also set stan\u00addards at Pilz. The com\u00adpany has estab\u00adlished addi\u00adtional qual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion courses at the expert level that are inter\u00adna\u00adtional and stan\u00addard\u00adised. These include, for example, CECE \u2013 Cer\u00adti\u00adfied Expert in CE Marking, during which par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpants gain in-depth knowl\u00adedge on every indi\u00advidual step of the overall CE marking process for machines; CEFS \u2013 Cer\u00adti\u00adfied Expert in Func\u00adtional Safety for teaching how com\u00adplex safety sys\u00adtems are designed in com\u00adpli\u00adance with the rel\u00ade\u00advant stan\u00addards; or the brand new CESA \u2013 Cer\u00adti\u00adfied Expert for Secu\u00adrity in Automa\u00adtion, which tackles the topic of Secu\u00adrity (see page 4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The suc\u00adcess story also con\u00adtinues with CMSE itself: In 2023, the tenth year, the 10,000th par\u00adtic\u00adi\u00adpant should suc\u00adcess\u00adfully com\u00adplete the qual\u00adi\u00adfi\u00adca\u00adtion and in future be able to use the title CMSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
