Manually manufacturing control panels is difficult. It demands highly skilled labor, years of reading schematics, and the ability to troubleshoot. What’s more, it’s a time-consuming process. This is where automated and semi-automated panel design and assembly comes in. Not only does this innovation drastically reduce the amount of time spent manufacturing panels, but it also frees up skilled laborers to do higher-value work.

In this episode, we’re joined by Rittal’s Brian Jung and EPLAN’s Kruno Kutnohorski. Join us as we discuss the difference between semi-automated and automated panel design and assembly, how to help customers overcome technology hesitancy, and why automation is nothing to be afraid of.

In this episode, find out:

  • The difference between automating panels in America and the rest of the world
  • The importance of having a story to tell that’s backed by data, rather than just conceptual
  • How EPLAN and Rittal use “lighthouse customers”
  • Best practices for effective collaboration
  • How automation is helping solve the skilled labor shortage
  • Why there’s no right or wrong way to start with automation
  • Brian’s “Girl Scout cookie enterprise,” and Kruno’s favorite football team and animal!

Enjoying the show? Please leave us a review here. Even one sentence helps. It’s feedback from Manufacturing All-Stars like you that keeps us going!
