Hydrogen Technology World Expo

Date: Oct 20, 2026 - Oct 22, 2026

The hydrogen industry - safe and secure

These were the Pilz highlights in Hamburg!

How can hydrogen plants be operated safely, economically and sustainably? At the Hydrogen Technology World Expo 2026 in Hamburg, Pilz demonstrated how functional safety and industrial security are interlinked throughout the entire hydrogen value chain. 

The focus of the exhibition stand was on how functional safety and industrial security can be meaningfully combined. After all, the more electrolysers, storage facilities, hydrogen refuelling stations and supply networks are automated and digitally networked, the more important a holistic safety concept becomes. In addition to protecting people, plant and the environment, companies must also take cyber risks, unauthorised access and potential tampering into account. 

The numerous discussions have shown that companies need to place greater emphasis on safety and security in hydrogen projects. There was particular demand for practical solutions that enable regulatory requirements to be met whilst simultaneously increasing the availability of the plants.

Safety for the hydrogen industry

The hydrogen industry faces a double challenge: in addition to functional safety, there is a growing focus on protecting networked systems from cyber threats. As the digitisation of electrolysers, storage systems, refuelling stations and supply networks increases, so too do the opportunities, but also the risks.

Thinking of Safety and Security together

At Hydrogen World Expo 2026, experts from Pilz will demonstrate how companies can integrate Safety and Industrial Security into a holistic strategy. Find out how to identify cyber risks at an early stage, protect critical systems and safely comply with current requirements such as IEC 62443, NIS2, the Machinery Regulation and the Cyber Resilience Act. Your added value: Protect your hydrogen plants from downtimes, compliance risks and cyber attacks, while laying the foundations for safe, economical operation.
