Smart Script – Practical Tip – Control Cabinet Manufacturing

Smart Script – Reliable Time-Saving Marking for All Control Cabinet Components

A sophisticated marking system saves money!

Range, variety, flexibility: Making markers as durable as possible is a start, but control cabinet marking has long required much more than just that. In the course of Industry 4.0, complexity is increasing, as are the demands on software and hardware. Networking of machines and systems is constantly increasing, more and more components from different manufacturers are in use, and more information has to be accommodated in less installation space.

In the age of digitization, reliable, standardized marking can cost manufacturers a lot of time – and money! A 2017 study of the Institute for Control Engineering of Machine Tools and Manufacturing Units (ISW) of the University of Stuttgart looked at these costs and investigated the potential for automation and digitization in control cabinet and switchgear manufacturing in conventional mechanical engineering. One of the results was that marking within control cabinets is the second biggest time factor, after wiring.

WAGO Has the Solution: Smart Script

WAGO Smart Script Marking Software

Therefore, it is all the more important to provide switchgear manufacturers with a system they can use to get the marking information onto the equipment easily, quickly, cost-effectively and without errors. From rail-mount terminal blocks, to cables, to type plates and individual devices: Smart Script marking software, which WAGO provides at no charge, allows easy, flexible, economical marking of all components. When it’s combined with WAGO’s affordable Smart Printer and optimized materials, nothing stands in the way of clear, visible, permanent marking for electrical equipment.
