In the current issue of “Mensch und Automation” we take a look at the transformation of industry. Sustainability and digitisation are changing industries; legislators are also seeing the need to act when it comes to Security measures. We report on which laws are relevant, and the contribution that safe automation makes to the success of this transformation.

New issue: Transformation of industry
Digitisation, networking and, not least, sustainability are core issues for the economy and society. They have initiated a transformation in many industry sectors. In many of these sectors, Pilz supports companies with solutions based on safety and digitisation. These include the hydrogen sector, battery production or even railway technology. The requirements of functional safety and Industrial Security are increasing. Legislators have also recognised this and are changing the legal position.
