Time and cost pressures are rising and there’s a skills shortage – the panel building and switchgear manufacturing sector continues to be under a lot of pressure. What’s needed are ways to speed things up in plant engineering – when it comes to power distribution technology, for instance. There’s now a solution – RiLineX, a new, open platform system for even more efficient planning and faster installation of 60 mm busbar systems. This boosts efficiency by up to 50 percent.
At Hannover Messe, the wiring robot from Rittal proved a real showstopper. While fully automatic wiring in enclosures is still a long way off, this robot shows the way things are moving, with more and more automation being called for in enclosure assembly, too. With its concept machine, Rittal is working on the next development step and sharing its insights with customers – e.g. in relation to data requirements.
Offshore wind turbines are exposed to extreme conditions on the high seas and must reliably brave the elements for 25 years and more. This is no easy feat for the technology inside – or for system suppliers such as Rittal. The company supplies appropriate enclosure technology for today’s largest and most powerful wind turbines – and for many other renewable energy applications.
When developers decide on their choice of material for plastic products, they are tying themselves down for years to come. Once operations are up and running, it is very difficult to make changes to the material later on so as to reduce the product carbon footprint (PCF). To help customers lay the right foundations from the very outset, LKH offers support during the early quotation and planning phases.
In China, the focus is on modernising industry. Rittal, with its mega investment in its Shanghai site, is well out in front. The company is expanding its production facilities and launching the high-tech production of the VX25 bayable enclosure system – the biggest international investment ever made by Rittal.
The future of the energy (transition) is smart: Only a smart grid can guarantee the stability of the increasingly decentralised energy systems. However, the backbone of a successful energy transition is a robust electricity grid. Rittal offers the system solutions required to shape the transformation of energy supply, especially for the Energy & Power sector.
Racing from zero to a hundred in terms of popularity since it opened last year, Nationales Automuseum – The Loh Collection has become a new dream destination for car lovers and technophiles from all over the world. The museum now has a special exhibition dedicated to the legendary Ferrari brand and is also stepping up its commitment as an academic hub.
