Rittal Wallmounted Enclosure 8017586

Rittal is one of the first industrial players to receive a 5G frequency allocation. Before the end of the year, a private 5G mobile communications network will be installed in the new Haiger plant. The first pilot projects, for example in production monitoring and analysis, have already been defined.

Today’s manufacturing landscape is incorporating more industrial automation in outdoor environments than ever before. Energy & power, agriculture, and oil & gas processing are just a handful of the industries that require a unique kind of industrial enclosure that is adaptable and reliable, particularly in the face of harsh environmental conditions. While the idea of a bayable outdoor industrial enclosure is appealing, the cost of these solutions has in the past proven to be a challenge for manufacturers. Highly customized configurations, long lead times, and reliability concerns have made bayable outdoor industrial enclosures a non-starter in terms of saving time and money.

Climate control is critical to automated systems. Excessive heat and fluctuating temperatures can ruin electronics, impairing their operations and lowering the service life of electrical equipment. Even just a 5–10degree increase in the operating temperature of a device over an extended period of time can affect its speed and reliability, with solid–state devices starting to break down and fail at temperatures exceeding 120°F.
