Pilz at the SPS 2025
"For us, the PLC is the central platform for safe automation"
SPS 2025 starts today in Nuremberg - and with it the question of what course the automation industry will set for the coming years. We asked exhibiting companies for their views on this. In a brief interview, Cathrin Kröll, Vice President Global Marketing at Pilz GmbH & Co. KG, explains the company's focus at SPS 2025 and reveals her personal highlight.
Which technologies do you focus on?
For us, the SPS is the central platform for presenting the latest developments in safe automation to a wide audience. In 2025, Pilz will be focusing on IO-Link safety, industrial security and our new MYZEL Lifecycle Platform.
And on a personal note: What is the highlight of SPS 2025 for you?
My highlight this year is our live demo of the digital MYZEL Lifecycle Platform for the management of machines and personnel. Our software-as-a-service offering supports compliance with legislation and safety requirements throughout the entire lifecycle.
