Long-term success in panel building and switchgear manufacturing depends, amongst other things, on the following key factors: Digitalisation, standardisation and automation. They help to minimise errors, boost productivity and save both time and money. Together with and completely in tandem with you, our Rittal technical specialists and experts will identify the ways and the potential to streamline and upgrade your processes. The result: greater efficiency and critically, a more competitive advantage on the market.
Value Chain Consulting
In order to intelligently interconnect and network equipment, machines, systems and processes according to Industry 4.0 standards, solutions are needed across the entire value chain: From design to plant operation and right through to product and service delivery.
Combining design and engineering solutions from Eplan with system and automation expertise and know-how from Rittal advances and furthers your complete manufacturing processes. Take full advantage of the potential that lies in end-to-end digitalisation.
Whether applications such as RiTherm as a calculation tool for enclosure climate control, our RiPanel enclosure configurator or the Rittal ePOCKET digital wiring plan pocket: you benefit from high data availability at every stage. The basis is the digital twin of your system. For quicker and error-free workflows.
We can offer you an integrated, end-to-end holistic approach involving consulting, software, products, services and support that is comprehensive and system-independent and also allows for tailored and customer-specific solutions.
A finished enclosure in 24 hours – that’s almost two and a half times faster than the manual method.
The results of a study by the ISW Institute at the University of Stuttgart on the subject of “enclosure construction 4.0” (2017) revealed that when using a semi-automated process, the completed production time was 34 hours in comparison to 58 hours when using the manual method.
Digitalisation across the entire value chain and end-to-end data consistency across various processes and systems are the prerequisites for automating enclosure integration and modification operations.
Your benefits:
- Cost and time savings through more efficient management and use of resources
- Improved quality due to better control over the entire manufacturing process
- Streamline the value chain
- Safeguard your competitive advantage
Our scope of services includes:
- Analysis of the production processes (using charts and detailed diagrams)
- Comprehensive final report with concrete automation strategies for savings across the value chain
In order to achieve maximum efficiency in enclosure integration and modification, all processes in production facilities must be consistently well thought out and planned.
Your benefits:
- Reduction of total manufacturing costs due to the optimum utilisation of space, also factoring in any future production requirements
- Boosts productivity
- Improved precision during assembly and better workforce utilisation thanks to automation solutions
- Increased ergonomic and occupational workplace conditions
Our scope of service includes:
