On August 18, 2023, the award ceremony of “2023 Intelligent Manufacturing Industry – Jung Technology Innovation Award” was held in Suzhou, and the “Pocket key” solution of Pielmagnetic Company won the “2023 Jung Technology Innovation Award” in the selection.

The “2023 Smart Manufacturing Industry – Jung Technology Innovation Award” was launched by Jung Industrial Media and its “Smart Manufacturing” magazine to encourage innovative technologies that contribute to the transformation and upgrading of China’s “smart” manufacturing. The selection lasted for more than five months, and Pilmagnetic’s “pocket key” was unanimously recognized by the expert judges and finally won the honor.

A “foolproof solution” to prevent accidental start-up

For industrial equipment maintenance personnel, the most dangerous is the accidental start-up of equipment, which is vulnerable to serious damage from moving parts, harmful gases, harmful rays or high temperatures. “Key in pocket” is an innovative alternative solution developed by Pielmagneto for the bottleneck of traditional tag locking technology, providing pure electronic restart protection, and the entire safety system meets the requirements of redundancy.

Under the premise of ensuring safety requirements, the “pocket key” not only reduces the volume of the key/lock, but also has no special requirements for the selection of the safety door switch, effectively preventing unauthorized restart of the equipment and ensuring the safety of personnel operating in dangerous areas.

The “pocket key” consists of the access rights system PITreader and the security control system PSS 4000 or the small security controller PNOZmulti2, which can be checked in and out after the operator inserts their respective electronic keys into the PITreader for verification. After a successful check-in, their ID is stored in the security list of the appropriate security controller, at which point the device stops operating and the person can open the security door and enter the device area with the key. After people check out, their ids are removed from the security list, and the device can only restart when everyone is successfully checked out and the security list is cleared.

Peel magnetic and intelligent manufacturing

The concept of intelligent manufacturing originated from the “Industry 4.0” proposed by Germany in 2013, and the goal is to use advanced information technology and intelligent tools to improve the manufacturing efficiency and quality of manufacturing. As a security expert from Germany, Piercy has been actively involved in Industry 4.0 since the very beginning. Piermagnetic not only provides safe automation solutions for smart manufacturing, but is also active in a number of relevant committees, such as participating in the Innovation Factory cooperation on the SmartFactory KL platform and collaborating with the German Electrical and Electronics Manufacturers Association (ZVEI).

Driven by the “spirit of safety”, Pilmagnetic has always been committed to ensuring the safety of people and machines, and providing users with high-quality automation products and services.
