Pilz: Bridging Safety & Security with Automation in Industry 4.0
The requirement for machine and human safety rises sharply with growing automation. Plants and manufacturing facilities have more faith in safeguards and security procedures. Machine complexity is rising, and this calls for next-generation automation solutions. Furthermore, the requirement for safety in these devices becomes inescapable as their complexity and speed increase. To further digitalize current automation processes and bring about revolutionary change in the sector, a rising number of Indian automation firms and organizations are implementing cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning. Organizations’ ulterior motives while investigating these next-generation automation systems include increased productivity, increased efficiency, and decreased expenses.
These developments, however, are more susceptible to hazards related to individuals, machinery, software, and the industrial environment. The combination of information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) creates a synergy that not only increases prospects but also raises the danger of cyberattacks. Plants and manufacturing facilities are thus putting more of an emphasis on safety and protection procedures.
Protecting the machinery, lines, and plant from both internal and external threats is becoming more and more crucial for the manufacturing plant as it tackles the critical difficulties that Industrial Automation faces. Each organization has areas that require security against unauthorized access. It is imperative to safeguard machines from people as well; safeguarding humans from machines is insufficient. As such, equal weight needs to be given to both industrial security and mechanical & electrical safety. Here, Pilz’s Systems and Solutions—which preserve workplace safety through a variety of Safety Products—play a crucial part. With the operating mode selection and access permission system PIT mode fusion, the modular safety gate system including new Product Development of Pilz such as PSENmlock mini, PSENslock 2, and PSENmgate, the small controllers PNOZmulti 2 along with Compact and Standalone controller PNOZ m C0, and the Security Bridge firewall, Pilz offers a solution that not only takes the machinery safety requirements into account but also defines permissions for service engineers as well as other persons and roles.
