New: Get to the Offer Quickly and Easily with the Online Pricing – Practical Tip for Control Cabinet Manufacturing

 June 22, 2020

WAGO Configurator Software Smart Designer

Why does configuration software make control cabinet manufacturing more efficient?

Shorter innovation cycles, a growing number of variants or a batch size of 1: Process digitalization increases the flexible use of systems and resources – a development that control cabinet manufacturing must also address – with agile and effective solutions. Control cabinet manufacturers must help ensure production with shorter delivery times and a wider range of products.

Configuration software has an important role within digital engineering: It optimally supports digital planning and design and enables easy ordering of components for production.

Smart Designer: Custom Product Configuration

WAGO Smart Designer is a unique configuration software that prevents unnecessary additional work during digital planning and helps reduce costs in the long run.

Smart Designer can be used across industries by any designer who configures terminal block assemblies.

Top Advantages of Smart Designer

1. Save time and remain flexible!

  • The only web-based configuration software (via a free cloud application) without manual installation and updates
  • Worldwide access to projects and configurations, always up-to-date and always available
  • Location-independent processing, without different processing statuses possible

2. Familiar planning and error-free implementation

  • Interfaces to CAE programs such as EPLAN or WSCAD
  • Smart Designer uses CAE data and automatically constructs planned terminal block assemblies
  • Avoid errors in planning through plausibility checks
  • Online configuration of WAGO products in 3D
  • Export data in various CAD formats

3. Use other practical interfaces

  • Clear documentation: Export parts lists and assembly diagrams directly from WAGO Smart Designer to create production documents or support ordering for the purchasing process – article data are always up to date
  • Simple marking creation directly via the WAGO Thermal Transfer Printer Smart Printer minimizes time and errors

Your Benefits:

  • Effective link between customer engineering, configuration and assembly at the supplier

  • Minimize error sources through system-supported preparation of documents

  • Paper-free work is possible due to integrated digital processes from the engineering process to assembly

  • Offloading skilled workers – electromechanical assembly can be performed by semi-skilled workers

  • Reduce order positions, storage locations and storage costs due to fully configured and equipped rail assemblies

NEW: Online Pricing – Fast, Efficient, Digital!

The Smart Designer configuration software is constantly evolving – with the goal of always making planning as simple, clear and swift as possible. The online pricing is a new add-on for completing an internal calculation for the control cabinet within a very short time.

Your Benefits:

  • Online pricing for configured WAGO control cabinet components – DIN-rails, terminal blocks or rail assemblies
  • A particularly time-saving process: Receive an offer for configuring WAGO control cabinet components within seconds via an online inquiry.
  • Quick overview of the total costs of a planned control cabinet
  • Price indication based on quantity scales

Important note: Pricing can only be used after prior release!

Customer Offer Directly via the Smart Designer
This Is How It Works!

1. Release

To enable the “online pricing” function block in the Smart Designer, an initial customer request to WAGO is required. The request can be made to your designated WAGO sales representative.

2. Activation

Once a release has been made, the “Execute pricing” function can be activated in Smart Designer via the “Project” navigation.

3. Price request

After entering the total demand, the order quantity and the demand date, online pricing is performed.

4. Offer

After the quotation request, a price is determined for the configuration. If pricing is successful, the customer receives the offer as “price information” by email.

Custom Rail Assemblies –
Plan, Configure, Order – Done!

At WAGO, the Smart Designer can be used to order the production of custom rail assemblies – even from lot size 1. And during this process, the entire WAGO product range is available to you – from rail-mount terminal blocks, to power supplies, to controllers.

Your Benefits:

  • Preassembly is an ideal way to absorb order peaks

  • Reduces effort in IT documentation, significantly lowers assembly and storage costs

  • Minimizes the risk of errors, increases system availability

  • Enables faster and more flexible production

  • Delivery within a few working days
