W. Althaus AG
The Swiss solution
As far as W. Althaus AG is concerned, the secret to better efficiency in panel building and switchgear has for years been automation, plus data consistency for processes and a strong technology network with Eplan, Rittal and Phoenix Contact.
Ingela Ltd.
First an extended workbench – now a professional service provider
Ingela GmbH, from Bisingen in Germany, evolved from being solely a manufacturer of enclosures to a provider of engineering services for mechanical engineering thanks to Eplan. Since establishing its first Eplan workplace in 2013, the company has followed a straightforward policy: “We want to exploit the potential of automation fully” says Ingo Straub, Managing Partner of Ingela. This has set the stage for further stages of automation.
Alexander Bürkle
Electrical design with digital twins - „Smart Engineering“ for building services and industry
Improved design using digital twins. This sums up the principle by which Alexander Bürkle GmbH & Co. KG has recently been organising its engineering and assembly of control cabinets. A central prerequisite for this is the EPLAN Platform.
“For us, this speeds up control cabinet design considerably because the parts are selected according to a system of options. We also make the data available to customers on request, and there is hardly a cutomer who doesn‘t appreciate this service.“ Fabian Camek, Head of Electrical Design.
Ripploh Elektrotechnik & Engineering
End-to-end digitalization
All processes at Ripploh are highly digitized and, if possible, automated. The result: greater efficiency and speed, a lower error rate and more orders processed with the same number of employees.The data generated in the engineering department is used seamlessly to manage processes in the workshop. The 3D planning in EPLAN Pro Panel, for example, provides the data for the CNC machine used to machine panels and for fully automated wire processing.
Elpex AG
From jigsaws to automatic enclosure machining
To automate the workshop processes, Elpex relies on the Perforex BC 1001 HS machining center and a Secarex AC 15 cutting center from Rittal Automation Systems. The optimized interaction between engineering and automated enclosure processing accelerates processes by up to 50 % - with increased product quality, optimized waste rates and lower costs.
Blumenbecker Automatisierungstechnik
Step by step towards digital consistency
Automation continues to forge ahead, including in the field of control cabinet manufacturing – and, with consistent communication between the configuration software and terminal strip assembly, Blumenbecker Automatisierungstechnik GmbH aims to further optimize its concept for control cabinet manufacturing 4.0. For this purpose, the company is considering the PROJECT complete software because the data processed by this software allow for individual terminal strip assembly and marking during the engineering process.
