The modern manufacturing industry is adopting smart technology solutions to drive performance and increase efficiency. These kinds of smart systems help alleviate a variety of pain points, like time-consuming, manual tasks and the lack of real-time data in order to optimize production programs. These principles certainly apply to smart industrial enclosure climate control systems, but there’s more to smart enclosure cooling than just automating tasks or streamlining workflows.

The importance of food safety reached new heights for consumers during the COVID-19 pandemic — in fact, a majority of consumers still identified food and beverage safety as a top tier concern even as the pandemic began to subside. As such, food and beverage manufacturers began embracing new technologies not only to ensure high hygienic standards, but also to increase the shelf life of products and better combat the potential for spoilage with items like meat and dairy. High-pressure processing (HPP) answered the call as an efficient method of manufacturing food and beverage products.

One challenge that manufacturers face with servicing or customizing the wiring and cable configurations of their industrial enclosures is the ability to quickly access the wire systems that require attention. While a more modular approach to industrial enclosure design and configuration can simplify this process, an enclosure plinth makes access faster and easier, and it can also increase the cable and wiring capacity of standard industrial enclosures. Increased cable flexibility is not the only benefit an enclosure plinth provides. In fact, plinths can help manufacturers increase productivity and reduce downtime in a number of key ways.

For those in the know, busbar power panels have arrived as a more flexible, space-saving, and efficient power distribution system. For example, the automotive industry is already embarking on a massive transition to busbar power, and it’s only a matter of time before other growth-oriented industries like the material handling and power & energy spaces follow suit.
