From hardware components to complete safety concepts: Pilz has extended its industrial expertise from the field of machinery safety and health and safety regulations to railway sites. With many years of knowledge and experience, Pilz has demonstrated the same competence in the railway industry as it does in an industrial environment.
Pilz offers safety-relevant assessments and standard-compliant solutions for maintenance and repair as well as for cleaning equipment and railway/tram cranes, both for passenger and freight transport.
Access Control – Improve safety in the railway workplace
For safety reasons, it is important that only authorized personnel have access to production facilities and railway sites. Pilz's operating mode selection and access authorization system PITmode combines security and information security functions in a single system. These devices enable functionally safe mode of operation selection and access control to the user's production facilities.
How Pilz guarantees secure access:
Check and evaluate access rights through a human-machine interface
Each user has a separate permission level
Functionally safe mode of operation up to PL d
It is highly tamper-proof due to company-specific coding
Read/write and data storage on the key
Pre-installed, group-based permission management
Integrated user management
Monitoring of crane systems
With millions of containers being transshipped at transit stations, ports or industrial plants every day, and secondary transportation is usually by rail, safety and control are key factors in the application of such cranes. With Pilz's automation system PSS 4000-R and compatible sensor technology, users are provided with intelligent automation that meets the requirements of modern cranes. Therefore, the process of loading the container onto the freight train is always safe.
Pilz implements the following functions:
Cable monitoring
Monitoring of individual and cumulative loads as well as monitoring of the center of gravity
Monitor the movement speed of the crane
Broken gear monitoring
Protects the range of motion of the slewing gear
Collision monitoring
Maintain and repair the safety of the facility
In the workshop, safety technology is required wherever danger may lurk. They may be conveyor belts, lifting tables, or cranes; The same could be roof brackets, doors, live overhead lines/power tracks. As a specialist in safety, Pilz brings its proven products from the industrial sector to its customers' workshops, cleaners or workshops. Users benefit from our comprehensive portfolio of safe automation solutions.
Pilz offers solutions for the following applications:
Protection of conveyors and lifting platforms
Range monitoring of cranes, eg
Door protection
Protect roof brackets by closing overhead lines, eg
Networking of various sensors into a holistic system with diagnostic capabilities
