Automation solutions
Digitization also for switch cabinets
Together with its sister company Eplan, Rittal demonstrated at the SPS how manufacturers of control and switchgear systems can establish a data-integrated value chain.
The digital twin is the key to this. Rittal also supplies automation solutions that make these processes easier, faster, more precise and more reproducible. Product highlights included the further development of the SE-8 single enclosure with compatibility to the new VX25 enclosure system. The company also presented the VX25 Ri4Power power distribution system and the VX25 Rittal Power Engineering planning software for easy, end-to-end switchgear engineering, as well as the IoT interface for the Smart Monitoring System and for energy storage systems.
