Small Steps towards digitization
Gustav Hensel and WAGO: Realizing Digitization Together Step by Step
Gustav Hensel, a globally successful switchgear manufacturer, relies on a digitization strategy based on small but sustainable steps. And the gradual implementation of WAGO’s digital twin is an essential ingredient.
“New Work” in the Digital Age
In control cabinet manufacturing, the digital transformation is changing not only specific workflows, but also the way people work. The focus is shifting more and more to creative and flexible working methods. “New Work” is becoming the “new normal” in Minden as well.
Automated DIN-Rail Mounting with Robots
Control cabinet manufacturing involves many time-consuming manual production steps. In a joint research project, WAGO and the Frauenhofer IPA investigated the possibility of automatically mounting rail-mount terminal blocks in control cabinets.
Efficient Automation in Control Cabinet Manufacturing
In the workshop-style production of control cabinet manufacturing, time-consuming manual assembly is still present, especially for terminal strip assembly. In addition, the variety of different control cabinets leads to high production costs. Flexible solutions are required for greater efficiency and productivity. We at WAGO see new potential for developing and implementing flexible assembly automation systems in control cabinet manufacturing by using robots/cobots.
We Are Part of the SchaltschrankGESTALTER Initiative for Control Cabinet Designers
Designing Together Today – Remaining Future-Proof Together Tomorrow
Together with EPLAN, Phoenix Contact, Rittal and Siemens, we founded the SchaltschrankGESTALTER initiative for control cabinet designers with the motto “designing together today – remaining future-proof together tomorrow.” This initiative is a constantly expanding knowledge network for manufacturers and users to exchange ideas. In the form of a series of digital events, you can now access know-how from these experts about technologies, innovations, standards and best practices, all consolidated in one place. That way, you can stay up to date at all times and have fast access to knowledge relevant to your everyday work.
