Experience – Plant engineering

No worries in Poland

Some companies are in crisis mode, while others need to manage their growth. TRIPS belongs to the second group. The automation technology specialist is looking to the future in a positive frame of mind, including in Poland. Working with solutions from Eplan, Rittal and Rittal Automation Systems, its new Polish plant has taken a systematic approach to planning growth. We discover how during a visit to Krapkowice.

Experience – Rittal IT Solutions at Frankfurt Airport

Missing a fault? Impossible!

On peak days, Frankfurt Airport uses its highly automated, complex baggage conveyor systems to handle more than 100,000 items of luggage for international passengers. Everything is carefully monitored and controlled from the new Baggage Control Center. We took a look around the heart of this control room – the data centre.

Innovation – Industrial AI

AI  – Momentum for the future?

AI is everywhere. The opportunities are huge. Does that apply to industry, too? In Germany and Europe? Yes and yes! After all, this is the home of expertise on industrial data and processes – and the big AI and IT providers are desperate to get hold of it. Are Germany and Europe being left behind? Not at all! The disruptive power of Industrial AI is huge – both for industry itself and for the digital economy.

Innovation – Rittal Direct Liquid Cooling

AI needs a cool head

What is it that holds the world together? How can we combat cancer cells? These are the big questions for humanity that the world-renowned GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerionenforschung is researching. Finding answers isn’t just a case of having bright minds in the research team – the chips in the data centre also need a cool head! In Darmstadt, Rittal and GSI have created a blueprint for AI infrastructure with direct liquid cooling (DLC).

Innovation – Rittal RiLineX

Power platform put to the test

The results of a new study are impressive – in a field study conducted at gefeba Elektro GmbH, a specialist in industrial automation and switchgear manufacturing, use of the new RiLineX busbar platform from Rittal delivered absolutely incredible assembly times that were up to 75 percent faster than those of a conventional system. Even “old hands” are astonished by the results.

Experience – Interview

Ready for tomorrow!

Caroline and Christian Trips have transformed the business their parents originally founded with just five people into the TRIPS group, a leading system house for automation solutions. Based in the Franconia region of Germany and a long-standing customer of Eplan and Rittal, this highly innovative company is something of an SME hero – more than enough reason to pay TRIPS a visit in Grafenrheinfeld. The topic of discussion? The small matter of the future.

Experience – Toptec Outdoor Enclosures Calculated, Using RiTherm

„It loves the great outdoors!“

Sometimes there is no other option – when insufficient space is available indoors, enclosures have to be “banished” to the outside. That’s easier said than done, though. From heat and rain in the summer to cold and snow in the winter, conditions can be challenging for the electronics inside. In a project for one of its customers in Switzerland, Pezag AG has shown just how ingenious an outdoor enclosure solution from Rittal can be.

Experience – SGAC

Digital excellence in China

With its “Smart Manufacturing and Digitized Assembly Factory”, Chinese company SGAC, together with Rittal, Rittal Automation Systems and Eplan, is setting new standards for smart manufacturing. This integrated solution comprising software, hardware and service is significantly increasing the pace of the digital transformation. It is an exemplary project.

Experience – Digital continuity in mechanical engineering

We'll clarify that!

GEA builds equipment and machinery. The company is enlisting the help of Eplan, Rittal and Rockwell Automation to automate a centrifuge for the foodstuffs industry. An Eplan project is being used as a common software environment for design engineering work, which benefits efficiency.

Experience – BORA

Sustainably cool

BORA, the innovative manufacturer of premium integrated kitchen appliances, needed a new data centre. It was looking for a sustainable, resource-friendly solution that naturally also combined excellent reliability and security with high availability and was expandable – all aesthetically incorporated into the Austrian company’s Niederndorf site. How did BORA square this circle? By turning to Rittal and its partners!

Experience – Mosaico Group
