Meurer-etechnik will become an active member of an expanding network that promotes and makes tangible digitalisation and automation in panel building and switchgear manufacturing. The Rittal and EPLAN Application Center Partners provide practical answers and concrete solutions for companies planning the next step towards efficiency and competitiveness.
Meurer-etechnik: A pioneer in digitalisation and automation
“Rittal and EPLAN are putting their heart and soul into solutions for our industry – I can really see that now. We at Meurer-etechnik can contribute our experience and have been asked for feedback on new developments because we are the ones covering the ground in the market,” says Dietmar Meurer, owner of Meurer-etechnik.
EPLAN and Rittal already have a long-standing cooperation with Meurer-etechnik. The 65-strong company optimised its production early on with software and hardware solutions from EPLAN and Rittal and is regularly active as a test and development partner for new worker assistance systems, for example.
Experience the complete digital workflow in action
“Meurer-etechnik was especially quick to recognise the potential of high-quality, standardised 3D data, both for engineering processes and as a digital twin for every subsequent step,” says Dr. Marco Litto, Senior Vice President Strategy & Corporate Program at EPLAN: “The intensive and consistent use of our solutions and the open exchange help us in the partnership to continuously improve our solutions. That’s a ‘win-win’ for us, for Meurer-etechnik and for every interested colleague in the industry.”
Meurer-etechnik has been using machines and solutions from Rittal Automation Systems (RAS) for many years, from the Perforex BC drilling and milling centre to the new CT H Cutting Terminal. Solutions like the WT C Wire Terminal for fully automatic wire assembly and further automation will follow.
Close to practical application
“Decisions on automation solutions are not made in a showroom. The solutions must prove their usefulness in practice. In Großmaischeid, visitors can see machines and software under real conditions and clarify any questions with experts from Meurer, EPLAN and Rittal,” says Jochen Trautmann, Managing Director of Rittal Automation Systems: “This face-to-face exchange is also highly relevant for us as a manufacturer in developing technologically and economically suitable automation solutions for companies of all sizes.” Here, Meurer-etechnik opens up an exceptionally diverse range of perspectives: From industrial automation and municipal water supply to power distribution in buildings or data centres, the company covers a complete range of application areas.
“Progress in industry is always teamwork. The digital transformation of panel building and switchgear manufacturing can only be successful if users and manufacturers collaborate closely,” adds Uwe Scharf, Rittal’s Managing Director Sales Germany and Europe: “I am all the more pleased that we are taking our long-standing collaboration with Meurer-etechnik to the next level. It is precisely this willingness to share experience and expertise that drives the industry as a whole forward.”
