Pilz’s safety validation services for plants and machines can now be tailored to your needs, with a choice of three different validation levels. This guarantees an efficient service tailored to individual requirements, so that plants and machines are designed in compliance with standards and with maximum safety.

After risk assessment, the establishment of a safety concept, the safety design and the implementation of the system, safety validation is the final step in achieving safe commissioning of plants and machines. Its aim is to ensure that protective measures are correctly implemented and that the safety systems are fully operational. International standards such as ISO 13849, IEC 62061 and IEC 61508 form the basis for safety validation. These standards stipulate that the machine manufacturer or operator must regularly confirm that the safety design has been correctly implemented.

However, depending on the specific application, the requirements may differ: Does it involve additional machines of an already validated type? Are minor changes to the machine made? Or are complex and major changes to the machine necessary, so that a new CE certification is necessary? Which level of validation is appropriate in each case?

Customer-centric

Pilz offers tailor-made validation support and has expanded its range of machinery safety services for the future. “Until now, we have offered validation as a complete service portfolio”, says John McAuliffe, Vice President of Pilz International Services Group. “However, in some cases, such as when buying a machine from a manufacturer with whom you already have a good working relationship, when an identical machine is already installed or when making small changes to an existing machine, then a proportional check may be sufficient.”

Based on proven methods and many years of validation expertise, automation specialist Pilz now offers a different range of independent safety validations. Manufacturers and operators are able to obtain validations that are individually tailored to their individual needs, as well as confirmation of compliance with the relevant standards, which means greater efficiency during implementation.

Three tailored levels

Level 1 validation encompasses basic checks that highlight critical non-conformities, while level 2 carries out more thorough checks, particularly in terms of functional safety, which ensure that the machine provides adequate safety measures. Level 3 validation services are in-depth, detailed conformity checks, which are also CE-compliant. At all three levels, machine manufacturers and operators benefit from the expertise of Pilz experts.

Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems will temporarily lay off about 700 workers as the plane maker’s machinists’ strike enters its sixth week, a spokesman for the supplier said Friday.

More than 32,000 Boeing workers went on strike on Sept. 13 after overwhelmingly voting to reject a tentative labor agreement with Boeing, adding to the plane maker’s financial pressures and creating new challenges for CEO Kelly Ortberg, who took over more than two months ago.

The furloughs will affect about 5% of Spirit’s U.S. workforce, according to Spirit’s latest annual report, at its largest plant in Wichita, Kansas., or about 5% of the company’s U.S. workforce. Meanwhile, Boeing and its machinists’ union remain in an impasse, and Spirit is considering further layoffs.

“If the strike continues beyond November, we will have to implement layoffs and additional furloughs,” Spirit spokesman Joe Buccino told CNBC on Friday.

Ortberg will hold his first earnings call with investors next Wednesday. Last week, as the company’s losses continued to mount, Ortberg announced a series of major measures aimed at cutting costs, including a 10% layoff of about 17,000 employees. Boeing will also stop commercial production of the 767 after orders are completed in 2027, and said its long-delayed 777X wide-body jet will not debut until 2026, pushing production back another year.

Boeing is raising liquidity through debt or equity.

Buccino said the Spirit employees affected by the 21-day furloughs are about 700 people who work on Boeing’s 777 and 767 programs, for which Spirit has stockpiled “significant inventory.” He added that Spirit employees working on Boeing’s best-selling 737 Max are not affected. Still, work on all three programs has been stalled by the strike.

Boeing agreed to acquire Spirit this summer, but the two companies don’t expect the deal to close until mid-2025. Reuters earlier reported the latest furloughs at Spirit.
