Susanne Kunschert and Thomas Pilz: Financial year 2022 and forecast for 2023

2022: A difficult but positive year for Pilz 2022 was both a difficult and yet a positive year! On the one hand, we all heard the terrible news of war and natural disasters. In addition there were disruptions to the supply chain and a shortage of components, which meant that our employees had many difficult negotiations and some emotional conversations with our suppliers and our customers. As a company it felt like you could never do enough.

Thomas Pilz: The future of safe automation

Security: Legislation will apply to industry and engineering The standards and laws for safety in an industrial environment are currently facing upheaval. This is being driven by the issues of security and Artificial Intelligence (AI). For industry in general and for mechanical engineering, there are three new or upcoming legal requirements for security that are relevant: EU Directive NIS 2, the new Machinery Regulation and the Cyber Resilience Act. As in the last Annual Press Conference, I will focus on the issue of security, and today would like to show you how far-reaching the effects will be for the whole of industry.

Susanne Kunschert: Safe automation for every industry

Safety and Industrial Security – A one stop shop We have said that there will be extensive normative and legal changes in the field of security, and that the whole of industry is affected. But when we talk with customers and partners, we are currently noticing some uncertainty when dealing with security. Everyone knows of the risk due to security vulnerabilities, but who in the company should be responsible for questions relating to industrial security? IT experts or safety officers? To what extent do the normative changes affect me as an employer? If these knowledge gaps are not closed, questions on security will not be answered fully. So it’s clear that there’s a great need for information and further training to prepare a company and its specialist employees for the challenges of security. Our customers have long put their trust in our safety expertise, which we share worldwide in our training and services. Through practical experience, e.g. when developing our products to the standard IEC 62443-4-1 (secure product development lifecycle), and many years of collaboration in international standards committees, we at Pilz also have extensive expertise in industrial security.
