Control and switchgear manufacturing 4.0 The digital workflow for your company
Secure your competitive advantage. Today, end-to-end data is the key to saving time and money in any automated process. Make the most of the engineering expertise of Eplan, the System and automation know-how of Rittal. The virtual prototype is the heart of the digital workflow, linking together all process steps seamlessly and thus establishing the basis for efficiency and effectiveness – from engineering through to automated production and beyond.
Preconfiguration of assemblies
Inspection and delivery
The virtual prototype also brings together assembly information from engineering and work preparation. This information can be used directly to control plant for installing assemblies and for cutting to size and fitting cables.
Use an automated system based on virtual prototypes to draw up documentation and inspection documents. We will also help you compile design verifications to IEC 61 439.
Fitting Manual operations also benefit from assembly information contained in the virtual prototype. For example, specific information can be extracted to support production staff who are fitting components.
Control and switchgear manufacturing 4.0 Operation / maintenance
Commissioning
Commissioning Our specialists will give your service personnel expert training and instruction. As a result, we can ensure your components and systems run smoothly. Our “AS BUILT” software-based documentation creation system helps you with commissioning tasks.
Wiring
Operation/maintenance
The virtual prototype maps out validated wiring infor mation from engineering and work preparation. This data can be used to support manual wiring activities or directly control fully automatic wiring.
Our global maintenance concepts, customised service contracts and continuously developed spare parts management system offer you and your customers the very best in reliability.

Preproduction and ordering
Enable automated production by using our methods and standards for the software-based creation of wiring-plan documentation. Linking directly to your ERP system brings added benefits.
Your processes run more efficiently because work documents and machine programmes for manu facturing can be derived automatically and created on a custom basis. Furthermore, linking up with the ERP system provides software-based support for handling purchase orders.
Technological development You can use our platform-based software to create reliable 3D layouts for your enclosures in next to no time. Benefit from the time and costs you save in subsequent processes.
Verification and optimisation Using the 3D model of the virtual prototype, you can identify and avoid clashes and check necessary minimum clearances, among other things, to achieve optimum, standard-compliant climate control.
Material logistics Utilise optimum handling systems to make it easier to move materials and products between the incoming goods department and processing or assembly workstations. Benefit from using the information stored in the virtual prototype in combination with your ERP system.
Machining Automated, precision production documents are gene rated at the work preparation stage based on the engineering process and can be used, among other things, as a direct means of controlling production machinery for machining processes and cutting materials to size.
