Safe and smart automation solutions
23 July 2018
Packaging-related processes require a high level of automation and flexibility to be efficient and profitable. With this in mind, Pilz will be exhibiting its Smart Factory at the 2018 PPMA Show, which demonstrates how products can help users achieve intelligent networking and flexible production, whilst making sure safety is always at the forefront.

Pilz will also be showing its new Industry 4.0-compatible modular safety gate system – which allows users to create their own individual safety gate solutions – and its new PITestop active E-Stop button that indicates by illumination whether or not it is active.
In addition, the company will show its ‘PROBms’ model that measures limit values for force or pressure of a robot movement as one of the measures to achieve a safe collaborative robot application. Stand F60
