Automation of the brake test on freight trains, Defined end positions, forces and brake cylinder pressure are recorded via a sensor technology that’s appropriate for the carriage type and the automation system PSS 4000, with its railway-compatible input/output modules. The control solution is connected to the operator system via the local wireless system and to …
The crack testing machine is around thirty metres long, fifteen metres wide and up to seven metres high. It consists of several workspaces and process areas, with nine processing booths. That’s why safeguarding of all the infeed and access areas was at the centre of the safety concept. The components integrated into the safety concept …
In automation too, there is a trend towards digitisation. The rising level of complexity means that configurable or programmable control systems are increasingly used to safeguard plant and machinery. When designing machine control systems, this question often arises in the course of the risk assessment: how do you select the required safety level for safety-related control functions? Manufacturers …
Security gaps in software cannot be 100 % prevented. Therefore, it is important to inform users and administrators about these gaps in time so that they can take countermeasures before damage occurs. To make this work it is important to establish an appropriate management system, including a Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) in the …
Our products and services meet the highest quality requirements. That’s why we take security into account even during product development. However, security gaps in software cannot be 100 % avoided, so we take any reports of possible weaknesses very seriously. This is the only way we can keep the very high quality level of our …
Today, operators on the filling plant’s turntable are not only protected from the hazards of the laser, but also from the drives’ hazardous overrun: the inputs of the dual-channel emergency stop and the OSSD signals of the safety gate systems PSENmlock are connected directly to each other on the myPNOZ, so creating a safety zone, …
Flexibility in production is indispensable these days. Plant and machinery must be expanded or retrofitted to react quickly to new market opportunities. Expanding or retrofitting old machinery is often very cost-effective too. Exploit the potential of retrofitting! Pilz is the partner you should consult with when modifying your plant and machinery or having the changes …
The costs of a retrofit are considerably less than buying new. However, you must ensure that you comply with and implement the appropriate directives and standards. We specialise in actively supporting you through this process. Safety-related directives and standards are complex and constantly changing. As a result, they are difficult to master. With Pilz you …
There are many benefits to automation, which today is used in many industries across the world. When you automate machines, or even entire manufacturing and production facilities, you not only simplify processes but also increase quality and productivity. However, the safety aspect is very often neglected with industrial automation, and not just to the detriment …
Consumer diversity in globalised markets and environmental sustainability are key factors defining the dynamic and competitive food and beverage business. Refining flavours and ingredients, preparing your products and high speed filling and packaging requires effective management of a wide range of plant and machine assets. Handling frequent new product introductions, which may require integration of …
