Identification and Access Management: Holistic safety through personalised permission management

In the industrial environment, the goal on the one hand is to protect people (Safety) and on the other to protect machinery and sensitive data (Industrial Security). A lack of safety and security can have various consequences: from incorrect operation to an accident to a serious cyber attack. Comprehensive Identification and Access Management that clearly defines access and entry permissions contributes to a holistic safety concept and efficient procedures.

Efficient and safe flow of goods: Holistic safety concepts for automating and operating AGV systems

Mobile platforms such as automated guided vehicle (AGV) systems are making a considerable contribution to efficient processes in production and logistics. Both humans and AGV systems must be protected from collisions, and downtimes must be avoided. But what is needed to guarantee this? The right safety solution and an understanding of the specific application and the normative framework. A holistic approach is the best way to harmonise safety and productivity – from the individual vehicle to the complete system.

Safety gate management 4.0: In addition to safety, key aspects for guards are efficiency, economy and digitisation

It is preferable to have minimal barriers between human and machine. But in many applications, the required safety must be guaranteed using movable guards – while always keeping an eye on production efficiency. Safety gates as an automation solution, including management of access permissions (via a "digital keyring"), represent safety concepts that offer both: protection and efficiency.

PSENradar, PSENscan and PSENopt II: Safe radar systems and optoelectronic sensor technology for greater productivity

Safety, user friendliness and productivity should all be in harmony when it comes to area guarding of plant and machinery. When people require frequent access to the danger zone, or when materials need to be fed in or out, optical protective devices are suitable for safeguarding. These include radar systems as well as optoelectronic sensors such as light curtains and laser scanners. Which sensor type is used and when depends largely on the application.
