Pilz Automation, Systems and Services

About the Pilz Automation

Pilz Automation GmbH & Co. KG is a technology leader in safe automation technology. In this area, Pilz is consistently developing a role as a total solutions supplier with solutions for safety and automation technology.

Pilz offers complete automation solutions based around its core skill of safety – from sensor technology to control and actuator technology. The product range is being expanded to include corresponding software tools, diagnostic and visualisation systems as well as services. Thus, complete system solutions emerge. Complete also means that our solutions consist both of automation solutions and safety solutions. To do this, we merge safety and automation into one solution.

Pilz solutions can be used in all areas of mechanical engineering, including the packaging and automotive industry, robot applications, plus the wind energy and railway technology sectors. These solutions guarantee that baggage handling systems run safely at airports, that theatre scenery moves smoothly and funiculars or roller coasters travel safely.

Pilz inspire by our innovative strength

Innovation traditionally plays an important role at Pilz. We have set standards and made industrial history with our products, such as the first E-STOP relay PNOZ. Innovative strength is our driving force. Pilz was and continues to be a pioneer for the automation of the future. At Pilz, competencies and capacities in development and production are always built on a sustainable basis. Our strategy is to seize innovative ideas and make them market-ready and suitable for industry.

Pilz invests in the future of automation

Pilz is a successful, independent family business. Profits are reinvested, guaranteeing further growth. With an R&D ratio of around 21 per cent, Pilz is underlining its claim to be one of the most innovative companies in automation technology.

Having started production in the new Peter Pilz Production and Logistics Centre, Pilz is now converting its previous production area into a state-of-the-art research and development centre. Once the building work is completed, around 330 engineers will occupy 7,300 m2, developing new technologies and products for the automation of the future.

Around the globe, Pilz are available for their customers

Since the 60s, Pilz has not only built up a worldwide sales network but also a competence network. We are able to provide and apply local market and standards knowledge on a transnational basis and to operate across borders with a consistent level of professionalism and quality.

This ability marks Pilz out and establishes the company as a partner for export-oriented engineering and global manufacturing companies. As a worldwide ambassador for safety Pilz aims to increase safety awareness even in countries which do not have equivalent standards and directives for machinery and operational safety.

Pilz employees are ambassadors of their brand

The competence, experience and passion of our staff have made Pilz one of the leading brands in automation technology. We put people’s safety at the centre of our work in automation. We offer solutions that succeed in combining efficiency with high technical demands. Our staff are delighted to work in these areas.

It is hugely important to us to find the right staff and have them commit to our company. At the same time, we are committed to providing our employees with an ideal environment in which they can grow and develop – both professionally and personally.
