Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a cybersecurity framework that ensures the right users have the appropriate access to the correct resources at the right time. It's essentially a system for managing who can access what, within your organization's digital environment.
Why should you consider Identity and Access Management (IAM) with Pilz?
Pilz IAM delivers Safety & Security in one unified system, from securing your machines to empowering employees.
Pilz Identification and Access Management (IAM) provides a wide range of package products and software which are tailor-made solutions for the daily challenges of access management. From simple authentication to complex access management, from functionally safe operating mode selection to electronic maintenance safeguarding.
And also, of course, while protecting your valuable data from unauthorised access and hacker attacks on your plant. With Pilz, you'll find the right solution and get Safety and Security in one system.
Employee Protection
Industrial environments can harbor unseen dangers, both physical and mental, for your employees. While safety should be paramount, reality often falls short. Pilz offers a comprehensive approach to protecting your most valuable asset - your people.
Pilz can provide a thorough hazard assessment that identifies potential risks associated with your machinery and access points.
In addition to appropriate access permissions on safety gates and suitably qualified personnel, the use of operating modes is another adequate measure. Beyond basic access control, Pilz utilizes PITmode products to implement functionally safe operating modes. This innovative technology ensures that only qualified personnel can perform specific tasks based on their training and authorization.
Liability Protection
Industrial accidents can have devastating consequences, both human and financial. Protect your employees and your business by proactively implementing measures that minimize risks and ensure accountability. Effective risk management starts with the right people in the right roles. Thoroughly select and train your workforce based on the specific tasks they'll perform. Equip them with the appropriate tools and safety gear.
Pilz offers advanced solutions to go beyond basic safety practices. PITreader access management empowers you to assign traceable, individual, and temporary permissions for specific machinery and processes. This ensures that only authorized personnel operate equipment, minimizing the risk of accidents and establishing a chain of accountability.
Productivity Protection
Safety shouldn't come at the cost of production. Unfortunately, machine downtime due to accidental misuse or unauthorized access is a common issue. This can lead to injuries, equipment damage, and lost production time.
The Pilz solution? PITreader. With clear user roles, defined permissions, and automatic action logging, PITreader helps prevent errors and ensures complete traceability. This streamlines your operations while maximizing safety for your employees and your machinery.
Data Protection
The landscape of industrial safety is shifting. With constantly changing regulations and an increasing focus on data protection and network security, a holistic safety concept is no longer a luxury, it's a necessity.
The upcoming Machinery Regulation (2025) in the EU reflects this shift, emphasizing the importance of integrated Safety & Security. But you don't have to wait until then to protect your critical assets.
Identity and Access Management (IAM) Overview
PITreader (S)
Pilz PITreader empowers you to implement a robust access control system for your plant and machinery. This versatile solution caters to a wide range of needs, from basic user authentication to intricate permission matrices. The transponder keys with RFID technology are available in freely writable versions and also with fixed, stored permissions. Of course, suitable software tools are available for fast and simple programming of the PITreader keys and the PITreader settings.
PITreader S also offers the integration of the OPC UA standard. On the one hand, this increases the security of communication between the server and the client. On the other hand, PITreader S expands the connection options to systems from other manufacturers that also use OPC UA.
PITreader Keys
New Colors Simplify PITreader Key Handling
Pilz now offers PITreader keys in six new colorus for easier identification and use. These freely programmable RFID keys can be assigned specific functions based on coluor. This allows you to create a system that is intuitive and efficient for your needs, whether you are differentiating by machine type, function, zone, or operating mode.
