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.

The need for speed with the delivery and deployment of IT racks is key for companies to increase the efficiency and performance of their production programs. To achieve this accelerated speed-to-market, IT enclosures need to be  configured quickly and easily without the need for standardized tooling, and these IT enclosures also need to leverage exceptional flexibility in order to adapt to a variety of IT computing environments. What’s more, the varied nature of today’s manufacturing landscape means IT enclosures need to be easily scalable to minimize downtime when responding to fluctuations in computing demand or capacity.

The need for speed and visibility into industrial automation system design is a top priority for automotive manufacturers, especially with the continued demand for electric vehicles (EVs) and the trend of reshoring manufacturing programs. This is where digitalizing the design of industrial enclosure solutions can help automotive manufacturers create more versatile, flexible automation systems via more efficient, connected workflows.
