Upgrading plants

Plants are often expanded during the course of their lifecycle. Expansions or improvements provide an opportunity to adapt the safety concept. Expansions to the safety system should be as simple as possible and compatible with the previous system.

Maintenance

Despite all the regulations and safety standards, deficiencies can also still emerge within the safety concept of existing machinery. For example, maintenance work may turn out to be inpractical and may therefore require special measures, or safety gaps may be discovered. Such problems require a competent safety partner, who can go beyond products and systems and provide consulting and engineering services.

Example solution

Three stand-alone machines are interlinked. The plant has shown some safety deficiencies during operation. Also, the cartoner is to be replaced by a more powerful pick-and-place packer.

For challenges such as these, Pilz is by your side as an experienced partner in matters relating to safe automation, with attractive consulting and engineering services. For example we can develop a safety concept, optimise the control technology if requested, carry out risk analysis and CE certifications, check optoelectronic protective devices and undertake the safety design.
