The oil & gas processing industry is a complex space. Not only does a majority of production occur in uncontrolled or hash environments, but there is also a variable nature to the kinds of oil & gas processing sites, and each type of facility requires different infrastructure solutions to optimize productivity and efficiency. For example, the ideal type of industrial enclosure or climate control solution for an offshore oil & gas site can differ from a pump station facility, and deploying an enclosure that’s not equipped to handle the rigors of a specific application can result in more frequent maintenance intervals and losses in productivity.

The introduction of AI and the rapid increase in demand for IT computing is resulting in the need for more high-density data centers to process and leverage extremely large amounts of data. A recent report found that more than 60% of IT operators plan to increase the number of server racks in the IT infrastructure to handle the computing demand and that such increases will likely push the global IT market to more than $5 trillion in 2024.

A recent survey found that the top concerns for manufacturers this year center on leveraging digital technology to help increase performance and resilience to market fluctuations, and the ability to overcome continued labor shortages in service of meeting customer demands. The capability to combat these difficulties means building an industrial automation infrastructure using custom solutions that are designed to confront specific application challenges. This article will look at the importance of digitalization in modifying enclosure modifications, and how Rittal can help manufacturers embrace an automated approach to these workflows.
