A specialised supplier with decades of experience and comprehensive knowledge in explosion protection, R. STAHL has been providing users with system solutions for automation applications in hazardous areas for 30 years. Based on R. STAHL's products and, if required, specific third-party components, these solutions can be implemented quickly, reliably and at predictable, attractive prices. An R. STAHL system solution is a technology package from one source, delivered tested, certified and ready-to-use. In contrast, users often need to invest an indeterminable amount of time and money when combining, integrating and adapting the required technology on their own, since they may lack current knowledge regarding the complex explosion protection requirements and the varying, constantly changing rules and certification requirements in different countries and regions. R. STAHL's engineering expertise not only extends to the selection and combination of suitable technology with different types of protection, but also includes harmonising e.g. various fieldbus solutions, for example implementing comprehensive communication options between control systems, remote I/O components and HMI devices.

The company is one of the very few suppliers worldwide to integrate and deliver components and systems in all types of protection, thereby enabling users to pursue all potential solutions for hazardous areas. System solutions for hazardous areas are based on R. STAHL's very wide range of modular components, which includes explosion-protected cable glands, lighting equipment, special plug connectors and customised housings, safety barriers and isolators, fieldbus and remote I/O technology as well as HMI units in all performance categories. The company is authorised to independently certify its systems for worldwide use according to explosion protection standards. Apart from providing ATEX documentation, R. STAHL can also ensure the required SIL classification of complete systems. Industry-specific approvals and certifications, such as FDA and GAMP validations for the pharmaceutical industry, or DNV and GL certifications for shipbuilding applications, are also supplied if required. Moreover, R. STAHL also operates a worldwide distribution and service network, providing a wide range of products and services for maintenance purposes and later adjustments or add-ons at short notice.
