Experience – Automation in the USA
It's a Gamechanger
Three U.S. plant and equipment manufacturers provide insight into their success stories, revealing how their partnerships with Eplan and Rittal helped them make a breakthrough, leave the competition in their wake and get on the path to growth. One of these three game-changers is Brad Howell, owner of R&D Specialties in Odessa, Texas.
Experience – WestfalenWIND IT and windCORES
Hidden IT powerhouse
Wind turbines produce so much electricity that this sometimes can’t even be fed into the public grid, while the sheer amount of electricity required by data centres throws up major challenges for grid operators. WestfalenWIND IT has done the maths – and has got Rittal on board.
Experience – Engineering Rittal and S+S Industries
Houston, we (don’t) have a problem!
Is the stereotypical image of the dynamic and impulsive US entrepreneur something of a cliché? Actually, no – and Greg Andrews is living proof! That was apparent at the new Rittal Application Center in Houston. No sooner had the Rittal Automation Systems solutions for machining copper busbars been put into operation there than the Vice President of S+S Industries wanted to buy them. Andrews has now placed orders for a total of five machines and is aiming to become the market leader in the field of busbars.
Teamwork – Debora Foundation
We build on hope
In the villages around the Indian city of Bangalore, children and young women from poor backgrounds face complete inequality of opportunity. The Debora Foundation wants to change this. Having already set up 15 education centres in villages, it is now planning to build a school.
Innovation – Rittal Rittal IT-Cooling
Cool with the power of water
As a result of AI and high-performance computing, the performance density in data centres is reaching a level that poses a challenge for the entire infrastructure. There is a solution, however – direct liquid cooling. In consultation with hyperscalers and server OEMs, Rittal has developed a compact, modular Coolant Distribution Unit that delivers over 1 MW of cooling output, thus paving the way for future AI applications.
