CANTON, MI) - Pilz Automation Safety, L.P., has launched a new website www.pilz.us that offers easier access to a greater amount of detailed technical information, compared to the previous website.
"We believe this new website represents a major improvement in customer service," says Roberta Nelson Shea, General Manager of Pilz Automation Safety. "Its Webcode Shortcuts, Enhanced Search Tool, Expertise Section, downloads and easy registration make it very useful and user-friendly."
New four-digit Webcodes will be included on new Pilz literature. When entered in the Webcode box on the new website, the user is taken directly to information about that particular product.
Another feature is a search tool that is more powerful than the one it replaces, yet remains easy to use. In addition, there is now an avenue for searching just product information, which reduces the number of results returned when searching for information about specific Pilz products. If preferred, there also is a sitemap to aid navigation.
If a user knows, for example, that a PNOZsigma safety relay is required, an online selection guide helps to find the correct model by enabling the user to enter data such as the number of contacts required and the type of terminals desired. In the unlikely event of users being unable to find what they want, a callback feature is available; entering a telephone number in the Callback box initiates a request for someone from Pilz to telephone the user.
Numerous useful and informative pages can be found within the Expertise section of the website. The Pilz Lexicon, for example, is a glossary of terms used in automation and safety-related control systems. In addition to explanations for specific terms, links are provided to related terms. Elsewhere within the Expertise section there are explanations of the machinery safety regulations and standards in place around the world. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) are being added.
As with the current website, a number of downloads are available, though these first require registration on myPilz. Various documents are available via myPilz, such as configuration and commissioning information, plus software tools, macros and drivers. In addition, registered users can make price and availability enquiries or place orders directly.
Registration with myPilz is very easy, with just the usual contact details needing to be provided and the user's choice of password. An email is then sent automatically to the registrant, which contains a link to confirm the registration process. One last section of the new site worth highlighting is the Press Center, where journalists can download the latest press releases and high-resolution images. Press releases are listed under three headings: products, services and company. Pilz Automation Safety L.P.
