Protection through zero-trust segmentation
The development of Industry 4.0 has led to increased automation and networking of manufacturing systems, which brings significant benefits for the efficiency and flexibility of production processes. However, this increasing connectivity also increases the risks in the area of cyber security.
To ensure comprehensive safety, holistic safety concepts for safety and industrial security on machines are required. Authorizations and access must be clearly regulated.

Belden is expanding its Lion product range with new Lion Safety I/O modules for functional safety in highly automated processes.
Machine malfunctions can have serious consequences and put people's health at risk. Functional safety therefore plays a central role in industry. With control and inverter technology including integrated safety functions from ABB, plant operators can ensure safe machines and use them optimally.

Due to increasing digitalization and networking, systems and machines must be better protected against cyberattacks. Operators of systems requiring monitoring can use the Technical Rules for Operational Safety (TRBS) as a guide. The TÜV association pointed this out at the presentation of the Plant Safety Report 2024.
TXOne Networks, a company specializing in the security of cyber-physical systems (CPS), presented its new CPS security platform: "SageOne", which means Wise Man One.

Software protection and marketplace technology
Two essential components of software marketing are software protection and licensing, as well as the implementation of an app store or marketplace. The combination of FLECS' marketplace technology with the CodeMeter software protection and licensing system from Wibu-Systems should make this even easier.

In keeping with the trade fair motto "Energizing a sustainable industry", the Schmersal Group presented new products and systems for the safe, efficient and sustainable design of machines and systems at the Hannover Messe.
