R. STAHL and AGU announce their cooperation in the area of innovative industrial software solutions

Waldenburg/Leverkusen, 06 June 2017 - R. STAHL AG, leading supplier of products and systems for explosion protection, and AGU Planungsgesellschaft fuer Automatisierungs-, Gebaeude- und Umwelttechnik mbH announce their cooperation in the area of innovative industrial software solutions for integrated inspection and maintenance support of explosion-protected facilities and for plant safety.

Plant operators have to face more and more organizational and professional challenges due to functional and legal requirements, cost pressure and the prevention of hazards in explosion-protected facilities ("Ex-facilities"). At the same time, new technological concepts require a quick availability of information about technical devices and facilities at the job site via mobile devices like tablets and smartphones. The software solution PEC, developed by AGU, supports plant operators and the persons responsible for the plant in a unique form: it replaces the heterogeneous data storage and ensures the quality and reliability of the data. All relevant requirements are combined in one system, which offers data and process interfaces to all ERP, document, CAE and engineering systems common in industrial environments. PEC thus builds a bridge between the hitherto isolated and heterogeneous world of plant inspections and the networked company environment and so contributes substantially to meeting the demands on plants in which the compliance with the highest safety standards has top priority.
