Consulting

Use our expert knowledge for your projects and customers.

Areas where we can assist you: Process optimisation with data integration from planning through to delivery, and the use of efficient software tools and automation technology. Based on the analysed results, Rittal works with you to implement suitable measures to achieve an integrated, efficient workflow.

To ensure that your company derives long-lasting benefits from these measures, on request we will also review the success of newly integrated processes in collaboration with you.

Value chain consulting

Holistic, system-wide and bespoke.

Industry is making great strides with digitalization. The importance of digital data, as a vital resource, is escalating. Faced with incredibly tight plant production cycles, huge time and cost pressure is now commonplace. As well as delivering a high-quality product, key competitive advantages can be gained from having the most efficient process.
Switchgear manufacturers that focus on the entire value chain – from planning and design through to the placing of orders, production, delivery and service operations – can boost their efficiency and gain a vital edge on the market.

We offer a carefully considered, integrated concept combining consulting, software, products, support and services. Comprehensive and system-independent, while still allowing for individual approaches.

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 of the entire value chain and data integration across all processes and systems are essential pre-requisites for the automation of processes in enclosure integration and modification.

Your benefits:

  • Identify ways of boosting efficiency and productivity
  • Protect your competitiveness
  • Optimise the value chain
  • Cut throughput times

Our services include:

  • Analysis of the production process and representation of the individual steps in chart form
  • This analysis is followed by an in-depth concluding report detailing specific automation solutions to save you money in the value chain
