New logo: "All in One" in automation

Complete automation solutions with the core competency of safety

"Pilz is a strong industry brand. It stands for innovation, customer orientation and complete automation solutions. We are successful as ambassadors for safety – but Pilz''s roots are in automation technology! The new logo is intended to visualise: We offer complete automation solutions with the core competency of safety" says Renate Pilz, Chair of the Board of Pilz GmbH & Co. KG.

Pioneers of control technology

The new logo is replacing the existing signet after 26 years. It assumes some traditional design elements from the 60s and 70s, such as capital letters.

That was the time when Pilz in Germany launched the first freely programmable control system, the PC4K. This was followed at the end of the 70s by the PITRONIK P8, one of Germany''s first ever programmable logic controllers (PLC).

Then in 1987 Pilz ushered in the era of safe automation technology at Pilz with the safety relays PNOZ (German acronym for Pilz E-STOP, positive-guided).

Merging of safety and automation functions

Today, safety and automation functions at Pilz are merging into one solution: "All in One". An example of this is the automation system PSS 4000. A decentralised control system with a centralised view, which meets the requirements for Industry 4.0.
