Smart Factories – Industri 4.0

Industry 4.0

Industry 4.0 is a concept that originated in Germany (where it is known as http://www.felcro.co.id and is often used to describe data-driven, AI-powered, networked http://www.amotronic.com  as the harbingers of the fourth industrial revolution. This predicted transition of manufacturing processes and technologies is based on these core principles:

  • The pervasive networking of people, machines and “things” in physical and virtual realms http://www.wurswitch.com
  • Leveraging data through tools and systems that expose the data’s value to drive production efficiency and flexibility
  • Increasing product quality and improving speed-to-market through pre-production virtual testing . http://www.felcro.co.id
  • AI-assisted and data-driven planning, production, manufacturing, and maintenance http://www.amotronic.com

Human-robot collaboration

The closer human and machine work together, the more efficient work practices become. However, safe interaction between human and robot increasingly demands new technologies and solutions. Also, the demands on safety increase, the closer human and machine get to each other.

To verify the required safety level, the entire safety function must be considered – from the sensor to the logic and beyond to the actuator. Safe human-robot collaboration (HRC) can only be guaranteed when all these factors interact in a coordinated manner.

Each robot application must be considered individually in terms of safety. Pilz provides support with a range of services tailored to the individual life phases of a robot system: From application analysis to risk assessment in accordance with EN ISO 12100, through to CE marking.

Our safety solutions meet the specifications of DIN EN ISO 10218-2 and ISO/TS 15066. And to complete the range of services, we have a range of training courses on robot safety.

Safe Automation in the packaging Industry

Efficient and economical packaging processes require a high level of automation. At the same time, the Machinery Directive is making basic demands on the functional safety of packaging machines.. In practice it’s about reconciling safety, automation and cost effectiveness. Using our safe sensors, control systems and drives, including the appropriate software for configuration, diagnostics and maintenance, offers a high potential for savings and increases in productivity.

When implementing your automation projects we support you with our industry experience and our comprehensive range of products and services in the packaging industry. Opt for complete automation solutions with totally compatible components from Pilz.

The new opportunities offered by Industrie 4.0, with its simplified operation and maintenance of packaging plants, can improve cost effectiveness. Guaranteeing safety for man and machine is a key issue in reducing the TCO – total cost of ownership (TCO). An individual safety concept for your packaging machines is critical for optimised operation; this applies whether it is a primary packaging, secondary packaging or end packaging . Initially, the field of Industrial Security – in particular the protection of sensitive data in networked plants, is playing an increasingly more important role.

One of the most important indicators for high productivity and therefore cost-effectiveness in packaging technology is overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
It determines the added value of a packaging line and can demonstrate a plant’s productivity at a glance.
Safe automation solutions are the basis for optimum overall equipment effectiveness. So not only does machinery safety provide protection against avoidable accidents, it also contributes towards an economical packaging process – because downtimes are reduced, for example.

Gate. System. Safety.

Benefit from an economical series connection, rapid diagnostics, additional control and pushbutton elements plus an optional escape release. Are you looking for an individual safety gate solution that’s perfectly tailored to your application? Our modular safety gate system allows you the flexibility to combine individual components to suit your requirements.

Obtain information at the virtual exhibition: Safely monitoring safety gates

With our modular safety system, you can protect your employees from hazardous machine movements thanks to individual safety gate solutions. In addition to the protection of your employees from the machine, the machine should be protected from unauthorised access. You want to know how this works? This is simple: Use the modular safety system with the access permission system PITreader. This way you regulate the safe access and also the access permission of your machine, and you protect it from unauthorised access. Together with the configurable safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 you obtain a safe and economical complete solution.

Safety gate sensor PSENslock

The non-contact safety gate sensors PSENslock provide secure safety gate monitoring and a non-contact magnetic interlock (500 or 1000 N) in just one unit. With this combination of safe position monitoring and process guarding, PSENslock units are designed for universal use – up to the highest category – and are also suitable for series connection.

Safety gate sensor PSENmlock

The secure safety gate sensor PSENmlock has a holding force of 7500 N and offers safe interlocking and safe guard locking in just one product. This is possible because the guard locking has dual-channel operation. As a result the switch is particularly suitable for machines with a hazardous overrun, on which safe guard locking up to PL d or PL e is required.

Together with the configurable safe small controller PNOZmulti 2 you obtain a safe and economical complete solution.

The pushbutton unit PITgatebox is ideal for combining with the two safety gate sensors PSENslock and PSENmlock . As a result you have additional control and pushbutton elements: from E-STOP pushbuttons and illuminated pushbuttons through to key switches and key-operated pushbuttons. The PITgatebox is available in a number of different versions and, with its robust, die cast zinc housing, is particularly resistant to shock, vibration and collision. Its slimline housing enables a space-saving installation on standard aluminium profile systems.

Fieldbus and Ethernet systems

The widest range of automation architectures can be implemented using the appropriate components. Components are also available to you which enable communication between the control system in the automation system PSS4000, for example. These components also regulate communication between third-party control systems that are connected to various fieldbus systems.

With fieldbus and Ethernet system you increase the efficiency in extending plants with distributed control logic. You can clearly structure the systems or connect several networks to each other.

When humans, machines and industrial processes are intelligently networked, they are also more vulnerable. But how do you protect your control systems from manipulation? With SecurityBridge we offer the optimum solution to do this!
SecurityBridge protects the configurable control system PNOZmulti and the automation system PSS 4000 from manipulation by unauthorised access. That way you don’t even give espionage and manipulation a chance, but guarantee the safety of your staff and the availability of your machines!
