Inspiration for the smart factory

1. Design and Engineering:
Rittal and Eplan simplify and accelerate panel and switchgear engineering processes through product data, software and value chain consulting.

2. Sourcing:
Rittal supports the straightforward selection and purchasing of enclosure systems through digitalized processes and tools such as an online shop and configurators, as well as a 24- or 48-hour delivery service (within Germany/Europe).

3. Manufacturing:
Rittal and Eplan automate and mechanise production processes in panel building and switchgear, e.g., with milling and drilling centres, fully automatic assembly machines, and so on.

4. Operations:
With Eplan Pro Panel and Rittal ePocket, Eplan and Rittal offer a digital twin for the error-free documentation of machines and systems. Rittal service ensures higher system availability and better energy efficiency.

5. System design:
Eplan, as a design and engineering solution provider, supports companies with electrical planning, automation and mechatronics. With their leading software platform, standardised data and interfaces ensure consistency throughout the entire value chain. Cideon, as a system integrator, advises businesses and offers the optimisation and integration of engineering processes with software & services relating to CAD/PDM/PLM.

6. IT/OT engineering:
Experts in the Rittal IT competence centres have comprehensive know-how and many years of experience in numerous international IT projects.

7. OT infrastructure system:
A Rittal modular, end-toend system that includes racks, power, cooling, security and monitoring, can be used to build customised solutions for all IT scenarios easily and quickly. Everything from the rack, rack edge, enterprise, and colocation data centres to hyperscale data centres can be configured.

8. OT complete system:
For example, the Rittal data centre in a container. These standardised systems can be installed within a very short period of time, offering the advantage of a turnkey handover, including full documentation.

9. IT data centre/edge cloud services:
Rittal and German Edge Cloud, together with their partners, offer solutions to meet all the needs of scalable and economical IT for edge and cloud scenarios – from data centres to IIoT solutions as ONCITE.
