The new programme of the Pilz seminar format “Safe automation” starts from March 2023. At over 30 locations across Germany, plant and machinery manufacturers can obtain information about safety concepts for area monitoring, free of charge. In 2023, the supplementary online event series “Web compact”, from the “Automation on Tour” series, focuses on safety-related questions from plant and machine operators.

From March until June 2023, Pilz will welcome plant and machine manufacturers at over 30 locations in Germany for an intensive exchange on the options available for safe area monitoring – whether that be safety concepts using scanners, light curtains or radar/sensor technology. As part of the event, experts from Pilz will share their knowledge of current changes in directives and standards. Also part of the programme: everything you need to know about the Machinery Regulation.

Then we move from theory to practice: together with experts from Pilz, delegates work out a safety solution on a common example of a machine, live on site. The verification of the safety concept is also examined in detail. New to the seminar: a discussion of the most important “dos and don'ts” with electrosensitive protective equipment. The second series of seminars from Pilz, “Safe operation of plant and machinery” will be continued in 2024, and thereafter will be alternated with the seminar “Safe automation”.

Digital supplement “Web Compact”

If you cannot attend in person but wish to stay up to date on safe automation matters, then twice a month Pilz covers a current topic in a web seminar, with the online format: “Automation on Tour – Web compact”. In 2023 the topics range from “Safe presence detection under rugged environmental conditions” to the question, “What the new Machinery Regulation means for machine manufacturers and operators”, and “Employee protection in production – Productivity and machinery safety”. Here too, the focus is on high practical relevance and knowledge transfer. In 2023, for the first time, delegates can submit questions on the relevant topic in advance.
