About us

With Pepperl+Fuchs Into the Future of Automation
Pepperl+Fuchs, one of the leading companies in industrial sensor technology and intrinsically safe explosion protection, has been a pioneer in the field of future-oriented technologies for automation for more than 75 years. Today more than ever: with a focus on the digitalization of applications and processes in the automation industry, Pepperl+Fuchs presents innovative solutions that offer approaches to digitalization, sustainability, and energy efficiency. To this end, the company provides an overall portfolio that can be used to reliably implement IIoT applications as well as conventional applications.

Industrial Sensors
This includes industrial sensors and sensor systems in an extensive variety of different technologies and operating principles that reflect the company's in-depth know-how and high level of expertise in this area. The product range offers standard products as well as customized products for countless industries and markets, but above all for every application in automated production technology and access automation—conventional or IIoT-capable.

Industrial Communication and Interfaces
This portfolio meets the constantly growing demand for communication-enabled, network-based solutions and systems for industrial environments and hazardous areas in automation. The technological diversity of high-performance interfaces enables the integration of a wide range of components and technologies from all areas of the company (and beyond) into industrial networks with transparent, end-to-end communication and reliable, secure data flow.

Enterprise Mobility
The "Enterprise Mobility" range of services is designed for the digitalization of industrial and explosion-protected applications and processes with intrinsically safe and industrial-grade mobile devices (smartphones, tablets), MDM, and HMI operating stations. Infrastructure, devices, and people are connected across company boundaries in digital workflows and processes to form IIoT-compatible networks—in a holistic one-stop solution with a seamless portfolio.

Products and Solutions for Hazardous Areas
Here, customers will find everything to meet the needs of their hazardous area applications: from conventional and intelligent components and equipment for electrical explosion protection to customer-specific complex engineered solutions with global certifications and worldwide support at over 80 locations worldwide—and with the security of seven decades of experience in explosion protection.

As part of its Digital Agenda, the company is also continuously driving forward the automation of its own processes The focus here is equally on efficiency, security, and sustainability.

Ethernet-APL

From hazardous areas to the cloud: with ranges of up to 1000 meters and transmission speeds of 10 Mbit/s, Ethernet-APL is paving the way for the Internet of Things in process automation. Existing installations can be used and existing plants can be modernized at low cost. Decades of experience make us a competent partner as you prepare for Industry 4.0. The Ethernet-APL rail field switch is the first switch with Ethernet-APL. It allows users in process plants to deploy Ethernet beyond the control room throughout the plant for the first time. The field switch provides seamless, transparent and simultaneous access to field instrumentation. It enables entirely new applications and therefore new work processes for how users work with instrumentation and all other devices installed in the field of process plants. This brings digital communication via two-wire Ethernet into the field of process plants and allows for easy implementation of IIoT applications into process automation applications. All parties involved, from the planner to the user to the maintenance personnel, are therefore able to reduce risks and increase safety, quality and yield. The fastest and most efficient way to continuously communicate large amounts of data from hazardous areas to the cloud *Cable length of up to 1,000 m and a transfer rate of 10 Mbit/s *Two-wire cable: Data and power are transmitted simultaneously along the same cable *Common physical layer for all devices that provides barrier-free communication between the office and the field *Access to valuable field device data anytime, anywhere enhances transparency and control *Enables analytics based on previously unavailable data for improved plant performance and availability *Easy migration and simple, cost-effective plant modernization with automatic detection of fieldbus communication
