Introducing Digitalization to the Panel Shop Floor

Abstract

The manufacturing environment, control panel design, and assembly processes are under constant pressure to improve efficiency while reducing errors. Common challenges include inaccuracies in wire installation, inefficient component placement, and difficulties in tracking project progress. Missteps in these areas often lead to costly rework and downtime. Additionally, data handling for wire processing and panel assembly can be cumbersome, particularly when it’s managed across multiple disconnected systems or manual methods. These issues hamper the ability of companies to streamline operations and increase throughput.

Our expert-led webinar will explore powerful digital tools and strategies that will give you a new view of your panel manufacturing processes and help you transform your panel shop floor.

Topics covered include:

• Introduction to Panel Builder for E3.series
• Exploration of key features, including Wiring Task Manager and Assembly Task Manager
• Discussion on integration with wire processing machines and automated assembly instructions
• Live demonstration of wiring and assembly tasks
• Techniques for creating and managing wire output files, hole charts, and cutout data
• Strategies for simplifying control panel manufacturing through digital workflows

What you will learn:

• How Panel Builder can enhance wire and component installation accuracy
• Using automated task managers to streamline assembly and wiring processes
• Creating and sending data files for wire processing and panel machining
• Simplifying task tracking and progress reporting
• How to generate assembly instructions directly from your project data

Who should attend:

• Electrical engineers and control panel designers interested in precision and efficiency
• Manufacturing engineers focused on panel assembly and wiring
• Operations managers looking to improve efficiency on the shop floor
• Users of E3.series looking to enhance their manufacturing workflows
