make the interaction with complex machinery much safer, at the same time helping to increase the overall efficiency of the facility. The box of a thousand possibilities The Euchner Multi-Functional Gate Box (MGB2) modular solution is an innovative safety system that provides reliable safety measures for complex machinery in various industries such as palletisers, robot cells, and any other application where human interaction with the machinery is essential. This safety system is designed to provide the highest levels of safety for both the operator and the equipment while improving efficiency and reducing downtime. One of the most significant benefits of the Euchner MGB2 modular solution is its flexible modular construction, which allows users to customise the safety system to meet their specific requirements using off-the shelf modules. This system can be easily integrated into existing machinery, making it a cost-effective solution for upgrading safety measures. Handles, locking units, escape release, fieldbus connections and multiple function modules, including selector switches, electronic key-exchange, and emergencystop push-buttons make up the system to meet the needs of the application. Available in a classically wired OSSD version or with industry-leading fieldbus connectivity allows for seamless integration, installing the devices sitting directly on the machines existing safety-fieldbus the Euchner MGB2 modular eliminates the need for expensive remote (decentralised) safety IO points, reducing the amount of wiring and installation time. The MGB2 modular offers a sub-module version of the popular ‘key-in-pocket’ solution from Euchner, CKS2 RFID key system can be seamlessly integrated into the MGB2 slots - making it the perfect solution for complex automated systems such as palletisers and machinery adopting perimeter guarding solutions. The CKS2 can be used as a safe lockout system, authorisation system, or electronic trapped key system. No complicated configuration or complex key management is required allowing unlimited flexibility. Industry 4.0 Industry 4.0 is the fourth industrial revolution that is transforming the manufacturing industry. It involves the integration of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and automation to create smart factories that are more efficient, productive, and sustainable. The benefits of Industry 4.0 are numerous, including improved efficiency, reduced costs, increased flexibility, and better quality control. It is changing the way that factories operate and is bringing about a new era of industrial production that is more connected, intelligent, and responsive to customer needs. Considering the interaction of the operator to the machine can be instrumental in determining the overall performance of equipment at any given time, it makes sense to include the technology into the door interlocks themselves. Euchner leads the way in this field and includes Industry 4.0 technology into many of its products including the NEW Euchner CTS Interlock with the innovative FlexFunction, to give insight into the way the systems are operating and ensuring production issues are highlighted promptly but also helping to prevent manipulation of the safeguards themselves. Information including the status of the interlocks, the number of times the devices have been locked/unlocked as well as product identification information is all readily available to the factory automation platform. Engineers can use this information to highlight areas of unreliability in the process and put corrective actions in place. In conclusion, the integration of innovative safety technology is crucial when designing and operating complex machinery that requires human interaction. Safety technologies like Euchner’s Multi-Functional Gate Box (MGB) can help prevent accidents, reduce injuries, and increase productivity. With the increasing demand for more efficient and sophisticated machinery, safety must be prioritised at the design stage to ensure the well-being of all.
