Modular freestanding enclosures offer a number of key advantages over traditional unibody enclosures. While modular enclosures are the predominant enclosure worldwide, the adoption rate in North America has been slower.
Industrial enclosures face harsh conditions. From blazing to frigid temperatures, to dust, oil, dirt, airborne corrosives and liquids. Industrial engineers know that the manufacturing environment poses a multitude of challenges to the integrity of the control panel infrastructure.
Energy savings is top of mind these days, especially when it comes to efficiently cooling industrial enclosures. We understand that you’ve got to not only protect the sensitive components inside your enclosures from heat, but need to do it in an energy efficient and cost-conscious manner. That’s why Rittal created the ChillZone app, an energy savings estimator for its Blue e+ line of industrial enclosure cooling solutions.
Rittal has set a new standard with the LED compact system light. The innovative LED technology shines into every corner of industrial enclosures, from the roof to the floor. No other enclosure light on the market today provides the lumen power…up to three times the luminous flux of the next closest competitor.
In the age of the Internet of Things and a world that is globally connected, cybersecurity – the need to safeguard information from an unending deluge of threats – has become a key technology challenge in the 21st Century. DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, has recognized the dangers posed by cyber warfare from individual hackers to government-sponsored agencies.
Every enclosure represents a unique challenge. Power systems, lighting, wiring, door configuration, and cooling units all require custom modifications. Full automation of the process increases accuracy and improves the turnaround time.
Working among the electrical components in an enclosure comes with inherent risks. The power in any one enclosure can range from 2kw up to 200kw depending on the power density. One of the most common and dangerous risk is an arc flash (or flashover).
Complete project control from the first customer interface through delivery and installation sounds good on paper. But during these initial steps: design creation, schematics, purchasing, labeling, documentation and manual tasks, efficiency and control are lost, and production costs mount. Until now. Rittal brings the Industry 4.0 Value Chain to design and production at any organization of any size. This is the next revolution in manufacturing as businesses move into a new era of faster production and turnaround time...up to 50 percent faster.
