The desire for maximum safety is one of the central motives of human action. At the same time, we are driven by the pursuit of constant progress, higher speeds, and greater efficiency. This tension can be observed particularly clearly at the heart of the economy: whether in automotive manufacturing, large warehouses, or extensive process industry facilities, managers and employees struggle daily with economic pressure and resource shortages—without losing sight of the safety requirements imposed by rules and regulations.

Against this backdrop, there is a growing desire across all industries for technology partners who offer more than just individual components or partial implementations. Integrated solutions that combine safety and automation are making a difference today and are a decisive factor for sustainable economic success. Only highly integrated safety can reduce downtime, minimize interface risks, and ensure the reliable operation of machines and plants.

Pepperl+Fuchs at HANNOVER MESSE 2026

At the upcoming HANNOVER MESSE 2026, the Pepperl+Fuchs Group will demonstrate how it lays the foundation for this transformation process as a full-service provider.

A uniquely broad portfolio of industrial sensors with a wide variety of physical operating principles and countless interface components for connecting virtually any type of input and output signal enables the integrated implementation of industrial automation applications—even those involving safety functions (PL/SIL) and explosion protection requirements. Complementary human-machine interfaces provide context for information and create new transparency, while mobile devices support and protect "deskless workers" in the field in their daily work. Training courses and on-site seminars also allow customers and end users to benefit from this unique knowledge and stay up to date with standards and technology at all times. This results in efficient, safe, and standard-compliant machines, systems, and working environments that guarantee stable processes, reduced downtime, and flexibility for future requirements.
