What is the Smart Cabinet Building initiative?

– Bringing together Technology and Expertise

Weidmüller, Komax, Zuken, nVent Hoffman / Steinhauer and Armbruster Engineering have launched the SMART CABINET BUILDING initiative to provide new solutions in electrical cabinet manufacturing. The partners are joining forces to leverage the potential of digitalization in electrical cabinet manufacturing with customized, end-to-end solutions.

Leveraging Digitalisation

The control cabinet industry is facing many different challenges: a wide variety of technical options, rapidly changing customer requirements, cost and price pressure, and tight delivery deadlines. Addressing these challenges requires the utilization of automation and digitalization in a perfect combination of product, process, and production resources.

Technology and Expertise

Digitalization offers many options for the optimization of production processes. However, overall productivity increases can only be achieved if the individual aspects of the value-added process are taken into consideration. Our goal is to provide comprehensive solutions for today's and future challenges in control cabinet manufacturing by networking technology and expertise across all process stages.

Smart Tailored Solutions

Currently, there is a lack of consistent, cost-effective solutions to meet the individual needs of the control cabinet industry.To enable the electrical cabinet building industry to unlock the potentials of digitalization with tailored solutions, Weidmüller, Komax, Zuken, nVent Hoffman / Steinhauer and Armbruster Engineering have joined forces to launch the SMART CABINET BUILDING initiative

The objective of SMART CABINET BUILDING is to provide comprehensive solutions for the challenges in control cabinet construction by networking technology and expertise across all process steps. Digital engineering data created and enhanced by Zuken’s E3.series provide a solid foundation for all aspects of digital production, assembly and servicing.

The automation of control cabinet manufacturing and assembly has a significant potential for cost-efficient on-shore production. The digital twin created in E3.series provides an excellent foundation for all downstream processes.
