What will the factory of the future look like? For Pilz, the Hannover Messe (23rd to 27th April 2018) stands for innovative automation solutions for the smart factory. Completely new at this year’s exhibition, Pilz will be presenting its modular safety gate system with its flexible combination options.

They will also play an important role in the factory of the future: safety gate systems. At the Pilz  exhibition stand, the company will for the first time be presenting its new modular safety gate system live on the model. Profit from cost-effective series connection, emergency release, fast diagnostics as well as additional operating and pushbutton elements! Pilz experts will show visitors how to create a customised safety gate solution from the individual components.

Intelligent networking and flexible production open up huge opportunities for industry. In Hanover visitors can see how quickly the Smart Factory adapts to changing market situations. In this way, an additional product can be manufactured at the new manual workplace without the existing process being interrupted. That's real modularity! The dynamic pressure-sensitive safety mat PSENmat, which safeguards the hazardous area and enables safe, hands-free operation of the machine, will also be in use. Flexible production according to the standards of Industrie 4.0!

A factory floor and no robots? This is inconceivable in the factory of the future! In Hanover, Pilz will show how areas and spaces in front of hazardous areas can be safeguarded to specific requirements using Pilz dynamic sensors. See three products from the Pilz sensor technology family in operation: the safety laser scanner PSENscan, the pressure-sensitive safety mat PSENmat as well as the safe camera system SafetyEYE.

At the Pilz exhibition stand, the company will also show how one can use the Pilz HRC collision measurement set to perform standard-compliant validation of application in accordance with ISO/TS 15066.
