A New Modification Center for Rittal North America

September 1, 2020

Rittal North America celebrates the grand opening of our 3rd modification center in Sparks, Nevada, enhancing the capabilities of their 47,000 sq ft. facility. The Sparks facility is not only the host to an expansive supply of Rittal enclosures and climate control products, but is now a go to location for fast, efficient, and affordable enclosure modification and assembly.

Rittal are excited to increase their US modification capabilities by 50%, ultimately improving their speed to market for their West Coast customers. Rittal’s vision and desire to put engineering decisions and value closer to the customer has become a reality. “During these challenging times, I’m pleased that we stay committed to providing value to our customers. Rittal’s investment into our services translates into a direct benefit for our customers to alleviate pressures within their own organization!” says Greg Storm, Regional Sales Director (West). Not only will the modification center offer increased inventory levels and reduced shipping times, but it will allow you to better allocate your skilled labor resources while concurrently shifting liability related to enclosure modification errors.

Similar to their modification centers in Houston and Urbana, the Sparks facility will offer Rittal’s most popular enclosures ready to modify and ship within 15 days. With their BC1008 Perforex machine, the drilling, tapping and milling of enclosures is completely automated in a single cycle.

Rittal welcomes you to come and see their new facility and all of its capabilities by scheduling a private in-person tour (COVID-related precautions are in place) to see their automation expertise at work. Contact Rittal today to take advantage of the Sparks modification center, allowing you to be more competitive in your local market.

How Artificial Intelligence Can Serve As a Bridge Between IT and OT

Much has been said about the potential of big data and artificial intelligence (AI), and there’s still a hope that some AI technologies will eventually become plug-and-play solutions. At the moment, however, false positives and false negatives remain prevalent, and it’s likely that these may never completely stop occurring. That said, AI is still a useful technology with the right business case, and it’s likely to play a major role in the factory of the future.

What Are the Benefits of Busbar Power Distribution?

The adoption of busbar power distribution systems on a global scale has accelerated in the last few years. In fact, research estimates that the market for copper busbar power panels in North America alone will grow by nearly 7.5% annually through 2032. There are several factors that account for this growth and why manufacturers are moving fast to harness the benefits of busbar power, but safety and efficiency are two of the biggest drivers.

How to Select a Filter Fan Based on Application Conditions

Filter fans protect electrical enclosures from external environmental damage. From heat control to mitigating the ingress of liquid and solid objects, filter fans provide another layer of protection for the electrical equipment housed within enclosures. Filter fans protect critical equipment by reducing thermal load and filtering out airborne particles larger than 5 microns. The dual fan and filter composition keeps electrical equipment running at optimal temperatures while mitigating the amount of dust and other particulate matter from causing buildup and damage.

Choosing the Right Panel Meter

Choosing the Right Panel Meter

Selecting a panel meter for a particular application can be a daunting task, given the wide variety of products that are available today. There are many factors to consider when making a decision. Let’s look at a few of the major items. Panel meters can be categorized by type, size, style or other criteria. One way to begin the selection process is to look at the meter’s function – what measurement is this meter making?

 

 

 

A Look at Cabling Best Practices for AI Data Centers

A Look at Cabling Best Practices for AI Data Centers

The dramatic growth of AI is driving unprecedented changes in data center infrastructure. Much attention has been focused on greater compute density and the need for innovative cooling systems to manage heat effectively. Cabling infrastructure also requires a new approach. AI servers use graphics processing units (GPUs) to deliver the raw computational power needed for AI workloads. GPUs are designed for parallel processing, enabling them to perform multiple calculations simultaneously. Still, one AI-enabled server is not enough to train an AI model and run some AI workloads. Multiple AI servers must be harnessed together in a high-performance computing (HPC) cluster.
