"We are glad that with AGU, we found a partner that is leading the development of software solutions for the three central inspection areas explosion protection, functional safety and operational safety & quality", says Martin Schomaker, CEO of R. STAHL. The cooperation with AGU includes the sale of software solution PEC via the R. STAHL sales organization to quickly expand market penetration. "With PEC, we will be able to offer a highly innovative product to our customers that will help them manage their safety-relevant facilities. This is an important step towards the strategic expansion of our business in the field "Service and Support for Safety". Furthermore, we will have the chance to even more quickly provide our customers with products relevant for maintenance and thus be able to again decisively improve the safety of their plants", Schomaker continues.

R. STAHL has already started to create the organizational structures that will be required to expand the service business and to market PEC.


"After many years of intense cooperation with leading experts in process safety and plant safety, we were able to develop a software solution that fulfils the demands on an integrated inspection and on compliance verifications in all operational sectors and that is unique in the world", says Harry Voges, Managing Director of AGU. "The excellent market position of R. STAHL now gives us the opportunity to make the advantages of PEC available to an even larger circle of users via an international network of specialists and to use the expertise of R. STAHL to offer customers comprehensive services and support."

With the compatible modules PEC-EX, PEC-FS and PEC-SQ, all relevant inspections, e.g. pursuant to BetrSichV (German Health and Safety at Work Regulations), IEC 60079-17, IEC 61508, IEC 61511 or VDE, are displayed methodically, paperless and resource-friendly. Greatest importance has been attached to a simple, practical and easy-to-learn operating concept right from the beginning of the development of PEC. With this highly innovative software package, plant operators now have a unique possibility for operational status monitoring and for a successful organization of audits.
