Small Steps towards digitization
Megawatt Solar Parks: WAGO Switches Help Keep Track of Data in the Control Cabinet
As a specialist for photovoltaic monitoring and control, Gantner Instruments is making a contribution to pioneering development of renewable energies. For the best possible network diagnostics, Gantner relies on WAGO switches in the control cabinet.
Gustav Hensel and WAGO: Moving Step by Step Together towards Digitalization
Gustav Hensel, a globally successful control cabinet manufacturer, relies on a digitalization strategy based on small but sustainable steps. And the gradual implementation of WAGO’s digital twin is an essential ingredient.
The Reality: Still Analog
What steps towards digitalization in switchgear construction must German companies take first? What do the corporate processes look like at the moment, and where is there still a need for optimization? In the interview, we pose these questions to Dr. Arno Kühn from the Frauenhofer Institute.
“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.
